Hey,has anybody done dickerman lately?I hear you can ride abike to the tr-head now.Just curious.

Are looking to do that this weekend?

Raustin,

I was thinking about it but have made other plans.Maybe next weekend though.Have you been there recently?I last tried it in January I think.I really don't enjoy snow-shoeing on roads and breathing snomobile exhaust.We made it to about a mile from the top in chest-deep powder.Kind of a mini epic.When my partner refused to climb a tree in snow-shoes I agreed to call it a day.Great fun except for the road.

has anyone done this recently.... i want to do it to get in shape and it is close to me....any seasonal or recent beta would be much appreciated... i'm going solo, so do you think that would be sketchy? i'm going tomorrow too....hopefully so let me know or mabe suggest another alternative in the verlot area....overnight is not out of the question....

scott,

 

as of last weekend the road was still closed about a mile east of Silverton. I would imagine it still is. that would leave something like a four mile slog on the road to the dickerman trailhead. snowshoes and postholing all the way i figure. everything's opening late this year due to the record snowfall.

thanks man...i owe ya...i'll think of something else then....anyone have any ideas for a one day- overnight solo slog?
