Skyland

[sp_20022006]

One of my riding buddies went to Skyland this weekend, and I asked him how it was?

" Pretty damn fun, quite a bit of snow."


So if anyone was wondering about the status of Skyland, there ya go.

Anything East of the Continental Divide is closed. Unless I am looking at the map wrong it appears the El Tigre basin is closed as well.

 

[hilinerider]

if i remember right the divide is the ridge to the east of el tigre, east of duck creek?

There supposedly is a huge bowl somewhere off of puzzle creek. I have only heard myths about it never been there. Only a few of the old timers know where to jump off the puzzle creek trail to get to it. I've also heard that it's really hard to get to because the trail is really brushed in. I've also heard that it's visible but only for a second or 2 and that's when you are coming down puzzle slide.

Anyone gone onto google earth to check out if this 'unicorn' of a secret bowl really exists?

It looks like to the west of puzzle slide there is a bowl. It measured about 1300 feet from the opening of the trees to the rocks, or about 700 feet on the face of the mountain. Not sure if I'm looking at the right thing and it looks like it's a lumberjacks dream to get there. Bring lots of chainsaws and saw gas. It's almost on the backside of slippery bill if anyone knows where that is. To me it looks like a prime place to get somebody buried and it's gonna take a helluva lot of work to get there.

That doesn't suprise me. If anyone has the will power to find a new bowl to climb it's him.
