Went for a hike up to the 5th via Mountain View, Imonator, Lower Griffen, Upper Griffen, Kirkford/Crinkum, cleaning out drains where possible. But there is so much water on the mountain that there are lots of places nothing can be done.

If you can kick out a drain or two on your ride, the trails will be happier for it!

[QUOTE=horizontally opposed;2690414]7th was pretty wet this morning. The last section was impassable because one of the rivers was running so high over the bridge that it was hard to tell where the bridge was. I think the bridge is still intact but didn't want to find out how secure it was. I wnt back to the long log ride and took that down to the road.
QUOTE]

I was there on Sunday morning as well...the bridge was there, somewhere under that flowing river! I walked across it just to be sure, & we carried on down Crinkum, Kirkford, Griffen, & Switchbacks....got a couple of face shots from the (lower) wet branches on Griffen Switchbacks...almost needed a snorkel!

It's been there for a couple weeks now... doesn't really interfere that much, but could be removed without the use of a chainsaw. It's also a cedar if anyone's interested.

Awesome night ride last night. 7th was in great shape as well as all the new work on Expresso. Thanks TAP! There is a tree down on Expresso just after the first bridge but I didn't have a saw to clear it.

Snow starting at 3rd switchback. Ridable up to Seventh thanks to tire tracks from trucks, otherwise it would have been a long push.

Lots of snow at the entrance to Seventh and on the trail itself.

Welcome to winter!

I think Grouse is in a mad rush to get fuel into the tanks up there. Lots of trucks doing laps today.

Fromme Snow Line update!!
After an epic night ride on Fromme Oct 25th we have concluded that the snow line is at the 6th switchback right now.

Anything past and you are in snow

Have fun everyone!!

Rode to 7th last night (OCt 25) and it was snow free so not sure where you guys were....? unless you guys rode really late in evening as the rains came later down in lynn valley.

there were some really really really small patches of snow - did not have to ride through any though.
