Stewart BC

[whittaker727]

Just curious if Stewart has a lodge still that caters to sledders like when I think it was Dave Craig was there? I was looking at the option of doing some early season riding and I know in the past they have been known to start shredding by late Oct. Any info on that?

Not a whole lot of activity on that forum. Must not be any snow to speak of their yet either.

Dave Craig put Stewart on the map for those of us in te elower 48.

Damn you Dave for that. LOL Even though Dave isn't producing Roops anymore...I haven't forgotten about Stewart. Stewart Mtn Lodge, right?

I'd still love to go there...maybe even moreso than Revy.

iam 2 hour drive from stewart & snow was down to around 1000ft yesterday here, so it would be lower there & more .you prob could ride there already even if you had to go on the glacier.as far as i know daves lodge was bought by a heli ski comp but that could be a rumor cant find any info on it.there is no tour guide company there for sledding anymore just motels for rooms.there is a new place ripley creek inn not sure if they cater to sledders though.

Mapquest says 18 hours. If all that precip turns to snow, I'm going to have a hell of a time talking myself out of the drive. Sure wish there were a true local on here to talk to about current conditions and lodging. Thanks for the input BigFish

Do you live south of the boarder? If you do good luck making it there in 18 hrs. It is 12 for me to get to Smithers from where I am at in Vernon bc.

 

[whittaker727]

Yeah, after punching into the GPS it's more like 23 but that's still better than another month of waiting.

revy has a bunch already might be able to ride there soon.if you want stewart snow conditions they do have web cams,there is a little snow down on the ocean so must be a fair bit up top.
