thing is I dont know brandywine at all, and have heard about some snow bridges collapsing, and I do know you can unload at 23K up at the coq, its just a matter of if we can get there from the coq side, I am keeping my fingers crossed.

10 K can be good this time of year as well, but Brandywine is still my first choice.

well I hate to say it, but I had an awesome ride, had gravel until the deer fence where you go through, then its pretty much smooth sailing, except for the odd small patch until you get about 3 km up the trail head, then snow the rest of the way. Best part was there was not a track around after the small snowfall, we had the entire mountain to ourselves, but dont worry, we marked it up pretty good for you guys considering there was only the 2 of us beautiful wheather to boot, sorry to rub it in to those who have put the sleds away!

Snow conditions were decent, good in the morning, the top 4-5 inches got pretty slippery as the day went on, but no rotten snow yet, it was 7 degrees when we got up there at about 9:30 but overall I was pretty impressed with the conditions for this time of year, went up into henning for a bit, but did not drop into superbowl as I didnt like the way that 4-5" on top was sluffing away, I figured it was not worth the risk. Overall great day, I would guess there is another couple weeks of riding up there if you dont mind running a bit of gravel at the bottom, but ofcourse this will also depend on whether, you do have to watch for those rocks just below the snow.

snow

The road into 10k is plowed and the secondary road up to 10k has the first 150yrds dirt after that its snow and after that maybe 100+ yrds of dirt before the steep and deep

 

[vendetta]

what do you mean by plowed, like no snow and you can drive to the 10k road and unload there??

thanks Rob

snow

You can drive to the road that spurs off the ten k road. The snow starts at about 200 yrds up the spur. You can unload at the snow line. Dont know what the slash looks like for snow?
