If ur tow vehicle is only 4ft long u will be ok. Lol
Snow starts just over 100yrds before eagles nest. U can barely turn around a crewcab long bed for about a mile before eagles nest.
If the snow is hard, u will have no problems turning around at eagles nest, if its soft u may need shovels but should still be do able. Could get 2-16in of snow by Saturday afternoon.

I wish I could go Sunday so it can't wait. I'm thinking about trying the south road anyway. there's some nice wide areas just before it starts climbing and it's a northern exposed face vs the southern exposure the middle fork gets. that road to eagles nest gets cooked.
oh well it's all in the adventure.
I'll post a report tonight.

Thanks for showing me around and the free entertainment. Too bad about the sled but at least Ethan wasn't hurt.
Wednesday we had about 3 inches at tree phones when we rolled up and some good spots up on the mountain. I went into a creek up on the mountain coming down. No damage but raddled my head pretty good. We may come up there Sunday if the weather makes sense. Have fun today.

You can almost drive to eagles nest. Park about 100 yds from the sign. Unload in the dirt, throw some gravel, and your on snow all day.

I don't see us doing that with his trailer. Either going to make it up through the clear cut or shuttle sleds on my deck.....and that's the last resort!

Troy, that's a creek bed!

Yesterday we parked up the south/left of tree phones. Drove up about a mile and unloaded in snow with plenty of room to turn a trailer around. Took the road about half way up the hill with just a couple small bare patches and skirting the edge a little then cut straight up. No problem at all.
Everything was going great until one of my friends sled had a motor failure. Thank goodness it was just as he popped out of the super bowl. So our day ended early.
Was nice to meet "alliance diesel". Too bad we had to go and never got to ride together.
Looks like white pass has 8" new this morning and more on the way so it should be good. Wish I could go again but can't until next Friday. Forecast looks good!

That looks like the same place that we parked each time. Lots of room and no problems

I think I see some of our tracks Wednseday. Sorry!

So what is a stage 5 kit on your pro?

 

[Totally Tully]

Running this kit with MDS clutching. It's a fun sled but I'm thinking about 900 big bore next time.

Anyone riding up there tomorrow? Heading that way around 4:30-5 in the morning, coming over Chinook pass.

 

[alliance diesel]

ready for more.

Sorry about your buddy's motor. I stayed up there till about 3:30. Just screwed around in the bowls. Saw who I thought was troy and his buddy, they went down below the bowl. Being my 6th time ever I thought the hillclimb was pushing it! Didn't want to follow and have a repeat of the day before. Hope we can get together another time. I'm trying to plan something for next week.

 

[Tmann]

did anyone make it up towards tree phones today. Troy and I are thinking about making the trek over for a Sunday ride on 4/12. I know areas are getting snow but they are kind of random spots on the satellite images. Any info would be great.

Let me know. We are pretty sure we're riding up there next Friday.
