Grooming Report Feb 9th 2023

​Ladybird Trail Feb 8th 2024


Ladybird trail groomed to 22km on east ladybird. We decided to head up the backside this week as we had not been that direction due to the logging activities. Although the trail up to 14km was in good shape it did need to be widened out for the tiller. Pulling some of the bank snow onto the trail was our goal. Not much new snow to report as we only saw 1500 meters in elevation, so spring like conditions to there. The cat is still parked just before 7 km with a small park area there and a larger area about 100 meters before it. Not much room for turning trailer’s around at the cat so you may want to stop when you see our signs up ahead. 

Goose Creek Trail Feb 8th 2024
​
The br-180 and drag are now parked up at 2 km. The plan is to try grooming across the snow bridge tonight as temps have been better this past week. Parking is tough on Goose when you have to drive up as switch backs are best but there are only a couple unless your ok riding gravel. Trailers are not recommended unless your prepared to unhook and spin around by hand. If all goes well tonight we will update the website tomorrow morning for those looking for snow conditions up top.
Quick update on snow for Goose we probed 30cms of fresh powder at the airport and 185cms of base. Solid crust under the fresh. Parked cat just after the 2km bluffs problem is not alot of parking up there so you may have to ride the bluff secton of gravel if you decide to head up. 

Thanks goes out to CIMS again this season for helping out with a 500 dollar fuel tank fill. Your donation goes a long ways toward helping the club and community.

Also want to thank all of you that bought memberships this season as the trail collection is way down. Your memberships and donations from all our great sponsors are the only way this club survives. If you hear others say they are going to just do trail passes next season remind them of what it means especially on a low snow pack year. Still lots of season left up top to explore with this type of snowpack.

Be safe and check the avy reports before heading out.
