Teleconvert Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Does anyone know if the road is open yet to the base of Adams? I was thinking of skiing the SW Chutes this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbw1966 Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Although I have not been there, I can say with a reasonable sense of certainty that the road I assume you are thinking of, that goes to cold springs campground, is closed about 6 miles from the campground. It usually doesn't fully open until late June or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gapertimmy Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 i doubt the road is even melted to morrison creek, maybe the horse camp. But then again, you don't know if you don't go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cj001f Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Does anyone know if the road is open yet to the base of Adams? I was thinking of skiing the SW Chutes this weekend. Some acquaintances headed out yesterday. They were planning for a loooonnnnnnggg skin in. I went early may last year. It was a good 6-7 miles to Cold Springs (the summer start). Along a snowmobile travelled road (thankfully lightly traveled). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonanon Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Who's got a sled??? I'll buy the beer. Â By "sled" do you mean a pulk or a snowmobile? Because my answers (in order) would be "Yes" and "Maybe." Â We did the Chutes in mid-July last year. Always thought it'd be fun to get on it earlier.

rbw1966 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Is there a place that rents snowmobiles? I imagine two can ride on board while pulling at least one other. Split that many ways it would be pretty cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cj001f Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Is there a place that rents snowmobiles? I imagine two can ride on board while pulling at least one other. Split that many ways it would be pretty cheap. I've done 2 on the sled and 2 riding behind. Wasn't bad (sled started to loose traction occaisonally) - but 2 on, 1 towed would probably work a little better. Unless the rooster tail gets you, it's pretty fun. Are there such things as snowmobile demos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashw_justin Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 snowmobile demos? Â yeah just drive up in a pickup truck with custom suspension blasting some neo-buttrock like tool or linkin park, wearing a baseball cap backwards and talking on your cellphone, then they'll think you're a 'biler.

cracked Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 There's nothing wrong with Linkin Park, you....you....you snowboarder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashw_justin Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 you....you....you snowboarder! Â hmm but my musical interests are probably more in line with hippie skiers, I listen to way too much Bob Marley, Death Cab for Cutie, Sonic Youth... but some rap still sneaks in there sometimes. So, how 'bout them SW chutes? I can't wait for the roads to open up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
