We did this ride about three weeks ago! I got across the slide area on my KLR... With some help and no incident! Great ride, that was the first time riding in Squamish for me... I'll be back!

Is anybody doing the squamish area for big bikes tomorrow Sunday anytime after 11ish? I ride a bmw f650gs with not much experience so I'm looking for some nice logging roads that are close to Vancouver. I was going to go to Stave lake but I think there are closer ones on the way to Squamish. Anybody up for some decent not too hard big bikes off roading tomorrow?Or can anyone give me some tips and directions about some nice logging off roads near Vancouver? on the sea-to-sky hwy? or anywhere else?I'm gonna head up to squamish right now and try any logging road I find along the way. But some tips and directions for tomorrow would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and let me know

Made it through. Pretty easy the whole way through beside the 10km
Slide or whatever it is. Wouldn't call it big bike friendly but I'm probably beginner - medium (I'm a shit rider) and made it over.
Fun ride, the trail can get flowy but as soon as it does it throws some big hidden ruts in so stay aware.
The 10km washout looking south ^
View of Indian arm looking south ^
My old watering hole from the 1930's
Washout or whatever the fuck it is looking north^
Just to give you an idea of what you're up against ^
It was worse going north rather than south but I had no option to turn around so after 5 minutes of throwing a few sticks on some rocks in a vain attempt to temper the obstacle I said fuck it and went for it . Went alright until I was over the run up then I whisky'd the throttle and left a bunch of orange paint on the rocks. Thankfully everything was broadly alright beyond my frame and tank (subframe) getting a few Knicks. As others have said, bring a friend and a grab rope. Don't be like me.
Watched a few videos on YouTube of some bridge and some blocks and I kept looking for it on the run but it didn't materialize though I suspect it was in this area which is absolutely harmless now.

I'm in the same boat. These days getting a days ride in requires a UN resolution and even then I'm treated like Idi Amin when I get home.
Best of luck, it's a lovely ride

Royleon, there are plenty of options of nice FSRs for bigger bikes when you get into the Squamish area. Starting with Mamquam FSR which you access 1.6km north of the Sea to Sky Gondola. It will access hundreds of km (may be a slight exaggeration, but certainly enough to keep you entertained for a full day) of FSR including Indian Arm. About 12 km past that, turn left opposite the Alice Lake Provincial Park road on Squamish Valley Rd and 30 mins later you can hit Squamish Main which gets you into Ashlu and Elaho Valleys - all big bike friendly FSRs. You are looking at 100km to top of Elaho so make sure you have fuel and I would advise a GPS as there are a lot of offshoots to explore along the way. There are plenty more playgrounds north of Squamish including Cat Lake, Chance Creek, Callaghan Lake, etc...

Not sure if this threads still alive but I did a solo tip up to brohm ridge . Made it
A bit past the lodge before I started to hit significant amounts of snow .
Lots of rocky climbs, wasn't the easiest but my skills aren't by an measure good.
The smoke is making the whole squamish valley a bit hazey.
Here's where I started to hit snow ^
Fun but testing ride

Nice I figured there would still be snow at the cabins. Ya there was a lot of smoke in Squamish yesterday but its cleared a bit today And I see I've got to find a new place to host pics if I want to post them here or maybe Tom should get off his bike a fix pic posting And I'm in Squamish. Send me a PM and I'll give you me cell # This is using imgbb to host pics and embedding a direct IMG link which seems to work. Last night in Squamish
