What dates are you looking at? There is a shitload of snow this year just north of PG. It may take a while to melt, especially up high where sleds have packed the roadway. How do you plan to set up camp?

I will be up there this spring. Wouldn't make any plans till mid May anyways! There will probably be lots of run-off this year too, so watch out for roads washing away too! Give me a shout closer to May, as I will be going in a couple times before hand to check snow conditons. Moosin

with the the snow packs this year it could be june before you get in, unless we get a real hot april/may.

Very heavy timber. old growth, few blocks with viability, but there are some great spots! i was there last fall and seen a few sets of very large tracks!!


take moosins advice, call him, he knows the area like nobody else!

I was up that area last year for may long weekend and we go stuck on the Hoda FSR 2 feet of snow about 25km off the highway and there is way more snow this year and snowing as we speak March 3rd

The Hodda FSR is not in 7-23C and it is March 2nd, and yup it's still snowing!! The snow was patchy last year up the 700rd. You would hit 5-6 km's of 2-3 ft snow, then gravel for 20km's, then snow again. A quad with tracks would be the answer if you got the bucks! moosin
