When you riding? I am doing a shake down run on my "new" sled with dude on Wed., if all is good I can ride any other days after.
Most people ride out of the big lot at the end of the lake, I have never done that myself. From what I am told it can be a rough trail up. Easiest way in my opinion to get to the snow is 2 miles up Warren Wagon, the Green Gate parking lot. Most cars/trucks I have ever seen there is 2 or 3. 6 or 7 mile ride up a groomed trail and you can dive off anywhere into the deep. Or keep on the trail system to the Brundage reservoir area or towards the parking lot at the end of the lake. From Brundage res area you can get out to Blacktip and all the other areas. Dude can comment on riding out of the upper Brundage lot, it puts you closer to the stuff on the West side of Brundage and the reservoir. One thing I like about the West side of Brundage trail system is the nice groomed trails, but good fun stuff just a couple feet off the sides of the trails, you can (I have) ridden for days just in a small area and never hit the same stuff twice, close to home, and close to a trail if you have less experienced riders or a problem with a sled. They do SUCH a good job with grooming, you are always a short zip away on a smooth trail from a completely different area.
This video was east of Brundage at about 7,000 feet. Still dumping in McCall... no end in sight!!!
