i went for a rip in the sled today we left the college grant and went pretty near in to where ya can go to the warming hut. there is easily about a foot of powder there. not great going cause ya fall right down though it. if it would settle tonight it would be good going tomorrow. wasn't bad going on the way but but the runners hit a few more times that when we went in cause there is no bottom in the snow. also a heads up there is a huge beaver dam between the donnie brook rd and the college grant, it takes up half the road and is at the bottom of a hill and if ya were sender her along ya would get a rud awakening. we went around it but if it wasn't great. anyways there is potenial for a good base though if it would settle and turn cold. :div20:

Did you guys tow from New Glasgow on the Trans Canada around 11:30 this morning?
Any snow up on Browns Mountain? It sure looks like there was a lot up on the hill. !!!!

Marshy hope just before the raced track, where the trail crosses the road.

I think I know where you mean. Just near the "Marshy Hope" Highway camera. Can I just park by the highway?

If you just take the next road on left past highway cam, go in that road all the way to the end about 2 miles, upload at the end and your half way up on browns. or take that same road but only a few hundred feet from TC when you turn in taske the right paved road and go for amount 1/2 km until you see the dirt road that is on left and right which goes up the hill to cross the TC highway. you can park there anywhere, not much traffic. If you do that route then uload sled go across tracks vear left on dirt road, go about 1000feet on dirt road and trail is on right hand side which takes you up on brown's.
