Location: West end Logan Valley: FS Rds 1630 S, 493 W&S, 516 E, 1560 N 1630 N
Road & Trail Conditions: FS 15 rd not plowed, 4-6" ruts over packed snow/ice, Subaru AWD just made it, not for much longer; at 10am. FS 16 rd not plowed; by 2pm was plowed to packed sno/ice.
No groomed trails yet. FS 1630 rd new 4x4 truck tracks since last snow (thank you) = packed powder; 493, 516, 1560: 2-4" powder over older tire tracks = requires a little breaking trail.
new tire tracks 1560 S on left; older tracks & break trail 516 on right |
Snow Conditions: 8-10" almost powder over packed base
Skis on & temperature: 10:30am 30° overcast broke into mostly sunny at noon; forecast 32 mph winds didn't materialize until evening (42° @ JD)
Skis off & temperature: 2pm 42° (54° @ JD)
Distance: 8 miles
Rating (1-10; 10 awesome): 10
Comments: there aren't many loop options because of terrain & road layout. this is an easy one; a little elevation gain at the 516 & a fun descent to the 1560. rest is flat. a very easy, flat route would be the 1630 S as far as you like and then turn back.
1630 rd north & Strawberry Mtn. |
