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.

Heading down onto stream surface

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

Thigh deep soft snow near Devil Track Lake

We also found thigh deep soft snow in the backwaters.

River surrounded by deep snow

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

Untracked virgin snow

Narrowly escaping open water

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

River starting to open up

And sometimes the ice gives way...LOL

Snow is still deep

Devil Track Lake area river with no tracks

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.
