Hi Folks.
As you all know, we've had a very unusual winter with a serious lack of snow, which has left the roads at CRR in poor condition for any regular winter use.
There are large stretches of dirt/mud that make snowmobiling pretty much impossible. Areas that do have snow typically melt during the day and freeze hard at night making the roads very icy and slippery. Four-wheelers are probably your best bet until we get some snow.I have heard reports of some folks successfully driving in (through the winter parking lot) using four-wheel-drive by keeping their speed up as they approach icy areas. Others have not made it! Driving down is also dangerous in some areas.
So, for your safety, I am recommending that you do NOT drive on CRR roads until conditions change.
Officially, the main gate is still closed.
The cold weather and lack of snow has also resulted in some problems with the water system. The normal snow level usually provides some ground-level insulation. Without the snow, we have had two meters freeze and crack resulting in a significant amount of leakage.
There is no new water going into the system at this point. We probably have enough water to last until spring, but we are asking everyone to conserve as much as possible.
Thanks,
Bill Bowen
