What is the status of the lodge??? I was under the impression you could still access Scarp's ridge. We used to ride it when the lodge was open and offering cat skiing. We were there before Christmas.

The lodge has been bought. The Owners are in the process of re-applying for there snow cat ski permits. in order to qualify for insurance they have to first regain control of their property. They have had NO TRESSPASSING signs up for months, well before I ever made it to the headframe at rolling hills in the cat. (before thanksgiving)
Their property starts at the headframe in rolling hills,(NT signs have been there for months) from the movie hut up is closed to all traffic skiers/SB'rs included. They have asked there be no sled traffic up the road to the lodge.
Accessing scrap's from the lodge is considered tresspassing.
Scarps can be accessed from the upper end of Irwin Town Site. Most locals know what i am talking about. It makes accessing Scarps more risky, as its a sidehill boondock trail. But It can be done.
If anyone see's people burning up and down the road stop them and pass on the word. NO TRESSPASSING means just that. There is a reason the GCS has not been running the snocat through the headframe and back through the Campgrounds. We are hoping people will work with them. GCS hope is once they have permits and insurance and reopen the lodge that it will be sled friendily and open to the public. If people keep tresspassing the likily hood that the lodge being not sled friendily and open to the public is more likely than not.
I was out to the Y and back last night in the cat. There was another 12"+ fresh and more coming. wind was a howling. Turbo will hit the safe stuff again friday night weather permiting.
Sled safe, ride together, This is no time be be a HERO, there is plenty of freshie fresh for everyone.
