Just so everyone knows, the Gillard service road is plowed and sanded all the way to Chute Lake. Be careful on the way down, it can get pretty icy!

Trail day in June check the events calendar on the site. There'll also be a garbage clean up event.
Gillard latest 15th June: trails clear of snow from Snakesback down to BH and WP. Lots of snow up top yet, expect to wait a fair time for that to clear and dry up before riding. Don't ride a trail until you get the OK to do so in order to prevent damage and ruttage.

The Boss Hog wall ride and the two stunts right after it have been vandalized. Someone took an axe to them…
There are aprox. 24 broken 2×4's, none longer than 5 feet and one broken purlin on the wall ride. The two stunts after have probably 15 broken rungs. they're both under 3 feet in width.

8 or so trees down on the lower half of Wobbly Pops. A quick hike up with a saw would open the trail..

Spent three hours on Wobbly Pops, Boss Hog, Lick-Her-Sore doing some clearing. Tried to get the tree that fell on No Mo Wet but ran out of fuel on my first cut 
Wobbly Pops and Boss Hog are 100% clear now.

Another windstorm. Snow halfway up the mountain but not deep enough for not being able to ride. Gillard FSR is pretty icy and really sketchy comin down. Nip & tuck got on tree and boss hog and dirty sanchez haves lot of windfalls. Old style, cats ass, fist firsts, therapist, la petite salope are all good to go, dont know about the rest.
