As you can see the staging area at Corbin is mucky but after the first 5km of thinning and kinda rough trail the trail improves to the point of being a highway the further south you go. There is a quarter mile stretch on Upper Harvey/McClatchie that is reported to be gravel but you can access these areas by riding the side to get into Shep Creek area. The photos are of the Manitoba crew in Shep Creek riding the basin. Snow was knee deep when you stepped off your sled. They said it is down 5ft at least from last year but still lots of snow and they had a blast.
The snowing photo is of last night and Shep got 3 inches new snow from the 22nd but it was snowing up top today in Rain Gauge/Limestone area and the guys guessed it would have gotten 6inches of new snow. Temps stayed below zero all day the past two days.
Plenty of snow up top and further south down the Flathead - just have to be willing to do the trails to get to it. It has been a very good run of spring riding with the bits of daily snow staying ahead of any melting and no rain to wreck it. Cheers!
