Is Blewett rideable yet?

[_AJ_]

Need to get these sleds out of the trailer. Wondering if Blewett has enough for a road ride?

Looking at the webcam... It may be rideable.... Hard to say what the trail looks like. It's 14 degrees there so it WILL be icy

AJ let me know when you come this way
Blewett pass is in my back yard now that I live in Wenatchee.

I drove over Blewett last weekend and there were a couple trucks with sleds turning in and a couple more coming up the pass as I was headed down.

I took a drive upto Blewett yesterday and saw numerous trucks and trailers with sleds. The parking lot was compact snow and ice but thin. I pulled in and talked to a few of the sledders about snowconditions. They said there was about 6" to 8" up top and decent thin coverage. They had ridden about 30 miles over the course of the day and there were no bare spots. The meadows had good coverage. They did say that they saw numerous downed trees. Many of them have been cut and rolled out of the way. All in all, it sounds like a decent road ride with bright blue skies. If you go, use scratchers and Have fun!

On Nov 23, 3 of us cut 25 trees......There are still many to do. I hope to make more progress this week, I'll see if I can round up some help. Still lots of 4x4's coming up from Reecer putting big ruts in the little snow that is there....Be careful off road, friend ruined a tie rod yesterday.....

Put on about 80 miles this weekend at Blewett, mostly playing in the woods and meadows. With a bit of searching, we found some good snow on Saturday, and some amazing snow on Sunday. Still need to be careful, lots of trees/logs/stumps, but we made it through with no serious damage. The main trail in and out was pretty brutal by Saturday afternoon.

On the trail in Saturday at about 5500 feet.
