Official Coquihalla Summit Snow Report

[sledjunky3]

Fishon isn’t too far off, the mud puddle on the way up to 10K was huge! Henning was ok, if you looked around there was some decent pockets of snow. The only advice I can offer is "if it looks like a rock then it’s a rock”. I was surprised how many people were riding on Sunday – it was pounded out quickly. Tried riding towards Tyne and I think everyone else was thinking the same thing. Let’s hope we get some snow this week – need….. to…. ride…..

Easy to go for a ride when your off work!! Get back to work!

Burton, was up Saturday (yesterday) stay in the trees…. Was admiring my downhill carve when the lower side panel got ripped off… I was pissed! Sled is running better, starting to get the fuel mapping and pressure dialed. Looking forward to riding some deep stuff. Have you been out on the Pro yet? Changed my mind – think I need to go for a ride on that bad boy. Let me know when your riding next so we can hook up.

 

[sledjunky3]

how did you lose a sled?? we rode into spearing bowl and there was less than a meter... didn't rip off any side panels though!! ouch!

 

[M8Freerider]

You guys checked out the Whistler (snow report) post - there are some decent pictures and it looks like they have allot more snow.

ya whistler looks and sounds good, i'll pick up the pro when the local snow gets deep, reduce my chances of tearing off side panels and rocking a-arms, very foggy in 10k yesterday, we went up over the saddle, i was sittin in the valley of the saddle and my buddies brother went off the rock band to the right took air and then crashed over the rocks, blew his helmet right off, he took it pretty well considering how it looked, sled got rocked tho.

anyone able to go out tomorrow (thursday dec 9)? Looks like the area is picking up some snow today. Going to head out to continue breaking in the sled.

 

[M8Freerider]

Have to do the work thing, if you do go riding let us know what the conditions are like.

 

[HuskyPower]

hey Dan,
may have to stay home tomorrow but will go on friday for sure. I'll let you know what it looks like up there if i go

 

[M8Freerider]

Watching the Whistler forecast and they are getting some snow, supposed to get 40cm on Sunday alone. Might not be able to get out of the first bowl…. Would appreciate the update on the Coq – hate riding Whistler when the visibility is down.

 

[Fishon]

hey Dan,
may have to stay home tomorrow but will go on friday for sure. I'll let you know what it looks like up there if i go

Heading up on Friday by myself from Mission
You still going or anyone else heading up and room for another rider.
Probably get there around 930 to 10
Visibility will probably suck but should be lots of new snow...
Parking in the new parking lot if to get into it for all the snow. Hopefully it is plowed.
Cheers

gonna bring a chainsaw into 10k on sat. cut some standing dead wood and fill the cabin, if anyone wants to help i'm planing on being at the cabin around 11ish, snow should be sweet this weekend.

 

[HuskyPower]

It was DEEP out there today boys, probably the most snow i've sledding on in that area. Went up Henning and played around and got stuck up there then just played on the road up past 10k. Great conditions, was snowing all day as well.
Have fun
