Rode today from Bertha Creek turn out down to Johnson Pass and up the 'right' side (wagon road) of the pass. We ran into into a group of two and another group of three at the first bridge with another group of three behind us. We made it over the first birdge and just before the second bridge is where it got deeper and we were all breaking trail up to the last switchback.
Three got stuck in a wind lip on the switchback and the rest of us waited for them to clear out of the way. This is when another group of 10 or so caught to us. We attacked the hill and pressed on to the next plateau where the creek bed was. After another creek crossing and more stuckfest, the group made it up to the lake. Not a bad day helping put in the trail. It should be good now to the lake. Don't forget your shovel to fill in the switchbakcs and trenches.

Rode Johnson yesterday, not many people and snow was actually okay. Lot of alder and open creeks. Light was flat most of the day. Pretty fun breakiing trail to end at the railroad tracks, but some pretty pucker factor episodes. Very warm and sweated like a pig.

how deep are the creeks and are you actually skipping across them??

I was there a few days ago, unless they got dumped on there isn't much left. We went back to the lake but it was snowing so we couldnt see, turned around and did some more exploring. Most of it was tracked up or to many alders so you couldn't hit the hills. I hope it is good for you this weekend though.

it actually turned out pretty nice, the base set up pretty good, still needs more snow though, the trail there has gotten worse since last weekend though. we got into the pass late morning and it was socked in, sat around for about 20 minutes and it cleared up.
Went in yesterday across the two bridges. Bumpy going in but lots of snow. Flat light untill got up high.....Still some crappy water crossings.
