In search of off-the-beaten-path deep snow
[ Please send your report to us! ]

We took off from Devil Track Lake, we were sweating in the blazing sun, it was 45 or so degrees. Gloves were optional... What was once hard as a rock snow drifts on Devil Track Lake, was now soft sticky snow. The hookup was incredible. We flew west across Devil Track's 5 and a half mile surface, down to the Expressway Trail. The "X Trail" was in the best shape we've seen it in all year.

We found our secret stream surface untracked, well, except for wolf tracks.

We also found thigh deep soft snow in the backwaters.

Along the river banks there was deep snow and running water. We carved and launched off the snow banks... freaken phenomenal.

RC Buck was riding a wheelie and landed on the ice.

And sometimes the ice gives way...LOL

The Cascade River was untracked in both directions. We'll save that for next time... next time came the following day. See Cascade River Run.

Snowmobiling on waterways is at your option and your own risk. Your safety cannot be guaranteed.
