High Falls or Brohm Ridge are about the best two places in Squamish. Try Brohm, you can click this link for area maps http://www.btsc.ca/ It is a small area in comparison to the rest of the riding areas on the Sea to Sky corridor but will keep you entertained most of the day. There are lots of places to go that most people day. Good tree boondocking in the lower meadows and you can drop down to Culitin Creek and have a couple of big hills to climb. Should be all marked on that map.

Thinking about a new business opportunity down there.......

Shreddog, you need to start an export company. How about shipping us down some snow

Snow pillow at Tenquille Lake. Snow level is almost at historic lows

You don't need snow to lurk on snowest all day everyday about an area more than a day's drive from you. In fact this rain is perfect typing weather for ya Grav.

It's obvious you're not a navigator...Seattle to Whistler 4 hours.

[jonnyk]

this was just on CNN

"Due to budget cutbacks and rising transportation costs, Mother Nature is canceling it's usual offering of winter to the Whistler area. It is supposedly being replaced by a $100 million pointless gondola that connects two mountains that were already connect at the hip."

So has anybody checked Rutherford? Could you drive up the FSR aways and drop in the snow closer to the cabin??? I can't wait anymore.

 

[POWDER LORD]

I doubt if there is more than 2" at the cabin. Maybe we need to load up the sleds in a 40 ' double stack transport trailer and head to Stewart.
