Soapstone

[HenryTheHammer]

Thinking about heading out mirror lake highway and riding soapstone tomorrow. Anyone have details on the road? Groomed? Snow all the way to the gate?


Thanks.

The Utah Grooming report does not show that it has been groomed.

I too inquired earlier this week of adequate coverage on the Mirror Lake Hwy to access the terrain at higher elevation. Several responses plenty of snow on the highway and last evening KSL reported a depth of 35" at Trial Lake. I'm planning on riding on Sunday but taking a ride up to Soapstone tomorrow just to check out the conditions for myself. There are some previous posts with pics of fellow sledders from earlier this week. Still be careful of those hidden land mines.

I emailed the state parks and they confirmed that no grooming has been done or will be done until they get 18" at the Cat shed. Don't really know where that is.
Need another good storm!!
Please report what you see on your scouting trip.

The groomer shed is a mile or 3 before the soapstone gate, the big parking lot that few ever use on the right.

Aha
Good to know.

Thanks Carp!

Took me a minute to find it. I was looking on Hwy 35 instead of 150
