January 22: Gerald went up Vedder mountain; road repair is under way!

Here’s the current status:

1) Culvert wash out between 1st and 2nd wye repaired
2) Gravel pit where dirtbikers park at 2nd wye cleaned up
3) 2nd wye, new crossditch/swail is being put in
3) Fixing wash out above 2nd wye
4) Another new culvert at higher wash out

According to a fellow from EAM who was in charge of the whole operation, the culvert replacement above the 2nd wye is as far as they’re going, they will NOT be repairing the road wash out further up. The road will be driveable if you have 4×4. There will be 2 new crossditches going in, one above 2nd wye and another below 2nd wye, just after the old pavement. Dirtbikers will lose access to parking in the gravel pit, a new drainage ditch will be put in across the front of it. The theory is that MoF probably wasn’t too impressed with all the garbage and burnt crap in there.

the road up vedder is good to go. they have fixed the road all the way to just below the exit of hidden pleasures. the have yet put in any new cross ditches. there is still quite a bit of snow and ice on the road past dilemma. from skidder down and mongaliod down the trails are mostly clear of snow other than the odd spot. any thing high still has significant snow on them. there is still lots of branches on some trails that have yet to have a rake run over them.

Vedder conditions are good early season riding. The trails from skidder down are free of snow. On Monday the trails were tacky with very few wet spots.

How are the trails at Ledgeview? Are they starting to dry up?

Steve — April 5, 2009 @ 7:06 pm

South side trails were good today, aside from the few places where creeks run across or briefly down the trail. I heard that Paperoute was almost dry.

Steve — April 5, 2009 @ 7:08 pm

Crap.. I didn’t notice what thread this was in. Sumas/Ledgeviw conditions have their own thread. I’m gonna start deleting posts that are in the wrong place.

Thanks Steve, I realized I put my question on the wrong thread at the same time I hit enter. Then there is no turning back.
