[snwman77]

ANYONE STILL GOING UP AND RIDING THE SLUSH? IF SO PLEASE POST SOME PICS!

Didn't take any pics but they're still people up there. We were the first up on Sat, kind of a last hurrah. Put some marks on Widowmaker, didn't like how it looked so didn't climb too high. Not much left compared to last year.

I didn't take any pics but I took a vid from Friday. It was still pretty good Fri in a couple spots since it hadn't really gotten sunny and super hot all week long, ~6-8" of heavy spring pow. Since this weekend it's concrete/slush again. Trail in from where we take out on the Elk Mountain side up Rd 100 to Turpin Reservoir had lots of dirt sections. Probably not do-able now with the warm weather over the weekend. Forest Service Rd 101 to 100 intersection was dirt. Furthest up in there I've ever parked this time of year. Still enough snow up top though. Would be nice to drive up and park at Lake Marie now but Hwy 130 is still not open. Wouldn't be surprised if they don't plow it for a couple more weeks and let it melt off to cut down on plowing costs this year.

Caps means you're yelling...no one likes a yeller lol.

Highway is not open and I don't expect it open till Memorial Day as that is what usually happens.

Parking is just above the lodge at the bottom of the first "S" corner.

Maybe because it's in HD. There is a button on the bottom right you can click with Vimeo to take HD off. Vimeo is much better than Youtube picture quality wise. I hope more guys on this forum start to use it.

Did anyone notice any of his other videos? The June 13th, 2010 fresh snow video. That was awesome. Wish that would happen this year.

If it snowed like that in June this year we would be breaking a lot of stuff lol

Anyone been up there lately? Wondering if they are working on opening Hwy 130, or if it's already down to the pavement but still closed.

Wydot started plowing on Monday, word is they will have it open first part of next week.

I drove up to the gate last night, its shocking how little snow there is!
