Re: Shriveled Pecker Snow Run ™

I think it would be sweet to check out Old Hwy2 as well. That or Tinkham...whatever club it runs through doesnt matter to me.

Map.

My only worry about the Idea is that that is all slide area.

Re: Shriveled Pecker Snow Run ™

I am thinking of a snow run or two early in the season to check out "Old Cascade Hwy" and "Tye Rd". I haven't run it for more than 15 years and I need to check it out again. I suspect from the map that there are a couple of good spots for an "igloo build off" and camp area (protected from avalanche dangers). I am thinking we should put a run together relatively early in the season (probably in Dec?) before the snow gets too significant than maybe again closer to the over night run.

I love tinkham and plan on a run or two there also, but I also want to try a few other "new" places also.

Do you think the snow pack will be good enough in early december?

I want to try and make to any of these ideas but like everyone else I can't around the holidays. I'll be in MI.

I think we should definitely do a recon run, before camping. Maybe check out both the Iron Goat trail rout and the Old Cascade that goes east towards Tye.

I was talking about doing some "preliminary scouting" trips early in the season (December sometime) so that we know exactly what the trail is like, where there is room for camping, what would be safe from avalanches, etc. The overnighter won't come till much later in the season, you need a large snow pack and good snow conditions to build igloos.

Joe, I believe next Saturday might work for me, I will respond once I am certain.

Nah, a good idea Michael. I might be able to make it up there with you guys..
