Is anyone aware if there is enough snow in these areas yet?
Any Salmon La Sac/Last Resort trail reports?

We rode Saturday and Sunday and found some really good snow. Should be legit after this week if the weather that’s supposed to hit actually does

What region did you ride, and elevation?
I heard a similar report about Salmon La Sac area but haven't verified for myself... yet. Riding Friday afternoon and Saturday, possibly up the Teanaway somewhere.

Where do you go in the Teanaway area? I have a friend who has some property half way up the teanaway rd and he says its been raining and there is only a few inches left at his place (around 2300 ft). Hes offered to let us stay there, but I am not sure where to go. I have been up to red top and up the Lick Creek rd but those are going to be too low i suspect. Would love some pointers. Thanks.
Need more snow for the Teanaway. Otherwise, go beyond 29 pines until you find snow. Get to know the wilderness boundaries and watch Avi forcasts up there.

This last rain event was not friendly to the little snowpack on the ground. Here's looking at 3500' above Roslyn. Should be getting some back over the next 24 hours but nothing drastic.

Does anyone have a good description of the preferred route into Lake Gallagher/Lake Anne? There is a groomed trail into an area used by 4X4's in the summer. Then, there is a split off from this groomed trail that follows a this 4X4 trail. However, there are numerous creek crossings. Is there a better way in? I've heard that there are better trails to take, but I'm not sure where they are located relative to the groomed trail. I have seen several at the end of the groomed road.
There are many videos on YouTube, but they leave out the route they took to Lake Gallagher/Lake Anne.
Much appreciated.

We have always used the “Jeep trail” you are talking about. The creek crossings are all open right now. I am not an expert on this area and there probably is a backdoor/shortcut/smugglers route in lol.

Went to Gallagher on the 30th. Went up the route along the hill on the narrow trail. Had to make 10-12 "creek" crossings due to all the water running down the mountain. Lots of mud and some 3-4' deep. Also several ice chutes so keep your momentum up. However once we got to the Lake, the snow was really good for a first ride. Bluebird day. Decent powder and good traction. Came back the other route. When you come down the trail and come to the Y, head left. There is one creek in the base of the draw. Harder creek crossing, but only one of them. Once we were through, the rest of the ride was cake down through the woods.
I saved the route on my Garmin. I attached it. If the attachment doesn't work, I can send out the .gpx file it you want.

Thanks. This was really helpful.

I rode Gallagher Friday. I went trial vs jeep trail. The creek crossings arent the worst I've seen but still a pain. Coverage on top was pretty respectable and we had a really nice day. There was a 1/4 inch crust from freezing rain and good snow underneath. Ripping up through the tree's we were trenching at least 2 feet in soft snow. Needs more snow for sure but it was the closest to a real ride I've been on this season. I have pics but I can never figure how to work this page to post them.
Was up Cooper Lake and Gallager yesterday. Marginal snow and alot of water crossings that were wide open. Snowed most of the day and had about 4" on the truck when we got back. This series of storms should help out alot.
