I am following up from last meeting's decision to go on a snow run Feb. 13, 2010. I suggested Mt Brenton off the Copper Canyon Main. This is a snow mobile use area. There is a gate and watchman, not far off the highway. It would be good if someone who lives up that way could check on access for that day.
Yeah I think I know that spot, tried to get up there in september a couple years ago and got denied by snow...but my bfg's are just freakin terrible in the snow, 4 snow flakes and I'm stuck.
That looks like the road to holioke lake . There wasn't much snow up there except at the top . There is pretty good trail at the very top up by the radio tower . good place to have a fire and chill out by the lake . If you guys are into a little harder trail go straight across when you get back to the bottom of the road going onto the mainline . there is a trail that will take you down to a nice spot on the river .
Be prepared to pay $2 at the gate and no quads. The rent a cop will be there, last time I was there we went in through Ladysmith main line, got totally lost and came out there. He wasn't impressed and gave us a big lecture. Remind him that the gate is on public land and theres no island timberlands land for about 12km on that road. I think the gate is locked at 6 which is a load of crap.
Im at work so I can't join you guys or scout it out.
I found a back way in there before... no gates... back way works to get out too but its a lot longer then the gates. The rent a cop was confused when we drove out and weren't on his list so we waved nicely and went on our way.
