old buck to Baden all clear. Snow at the exit of Pingu on to Baden. Boogie overall in great condition, if a little wet. About 3-4 inches of snow continuing for 20 meters about half way down.

Medium sized Douglas Fir down across the Log ride over the swamp. Log ride is OK but the tree must be climbed over halfway across the log. Still some snow on the log. a few branches still to be cleared on the rock slabs. A tear strikes my eye every time I pass by Piledriver….

Are there any downed trees on lower Boogieman Sublime? (below the Pangor cut-out)

Nope. No trees. I cleaned some branches near the start of the rock slabs, but there were a few more branches a couple rock humps above Piledriver that I did not get to.

Dropped in from mushroom today and up top it's a pretty big mess. Tree's down on incline and corkscrew, at the junction of neds and mushroom trail there has to be at least 7 or 8 decent sized tree's down. 8 inches to a foot of snow on incline and corkscrew, the same at the top of neds and dales. No snow at all by the time you get down to the entrance of severed, rode c buster today and it was in awesome shape, no blowdown at all! also if you havent ridden rapid transit and sticks and stones yet, your missing out! Overall lower Seymour is in phenomenal shape.
get out there while it's good!

Hopefully the blow-down is all cedar.

Rode up old buck then pushed up the power line. About a foot of snow on the power line but it is well tracked so not too bad for pushing. Pingu is all good except for one tree down (40' by 6-8"), near the bottom. The log on boogie had new snow on it as it was snowing when I was riding. To get over the fallen log with my bike I literally had to sit down and shuffle my butt. It was wicked slippery. Rest of boogie was great.

Btw the top of Pingu runs great. Thanks to Tap.

It's mostly Hemlock of course but the fairly big one on Pingu is a cedar.
