Route Advice - N.P to Fox via Pipeline

Quick question for you folks who know the local trails better then I do. I need to get a sled from N.P. to the goldstream valley and thought I'd just ride it home instead of trailering. Is it possible to ride the pipeline from North Pole to Fox? Are there any closed/blocked sections. I remember wher...

Re: Is Hilltop Accessible from Old Murphy Dome Rd.?

Just wanted to say vault road was the ticket. We took Oconner Creek to Old Murphy Dome Rd. to the Pipeline to Vault Road (first right) to Elliot and then ditch banging up to the truckstop. Was a fun ride and great food. The powerline trail that parallels old murphy dome road is in great shape, fast,...

Is Hilltop Accessible from Old Murphy Dome Rd.?

Was thinking it would be fun to take the fam for a ride up to Hilltop Restaurant and was curious if there's an easy way to get there via sleds from Old Murphy Dome Rd. It looks like the pipeline intersects with Vault Rd. and that puts you a few miles past Hilltop. I've ridden that section of the pip...

Re: Riding on saturday

This is what it looked like in front of my garage doors at 12:30 AM last night. It's been snowing and blowing up here for two days now. Must have 8 or 10 inches with winds around 20 with gusts to 40. I just barely made it up the Skiland Road this afternoon with my 1 Ton 4X4. Should be great riding ...

Re: Riding on saturday

Just took a short ride out in the Goldstream Valley and the conditions are great! Glad I waited the extra week or so to drop the sleds off the trailer. Probably saved me a lot of wear and tear on the hifax. Going for an extended ride up O'Conner creek tonight to Old Murphy Dome Rd and Resolution Dri...

Re: Nov 14th, Open Ride

For no accumulation in Today's forecast it's sure starting to accumulate out here in the Goldstream valley! Whoever is doing the snow dance keep it up! If it did this for a couple days straight we'd be there!

Re: GPS trails and Google Earth

That Multi-Option viewer is slick John! The Interior really suffers from documented, marked, and maintained trails. New-comers to the sport and area are at a strong disadvantage when it comes to finding fun places to ride without having to trailer 30 miles or so. I've got about 1500 or so miles in l...

Igloo - April 20th 2009

The wife and I were jonesing for some adventure so we headed down to Cantwell yesterday. Rode in from the first pull off on the right after the igloo down the Dunkle Mine road back into the park. Conditions were pretty awesome. A bit like playing in a massive 7/11 Slushie. The snow is similar to wha...

Re: April 18th Alternate ?

Did this ride ever firm up? In an attempt to squeeze a few more rides out of the season I was thinking about doing a ride from McKay Creek trailhead this weekend. Anyone interested? I'm betting McKay Creek would be the best to avoid sloping overflow. My RMK doesn't have studs and a couple of those s...

Re: April 25-26

That sure does suck Tony. If it's the same little cafe/burger/bbq joint I'm thinking of we had really good luck there. Young guy in his late 20's or early 30's was really cordial. Sat and talked about Yamaha's for a good 30 minutes and he made the Wife & I a *beep* good Ruben Sandwich and Bacon ...
