West Lakes and Hudson Bay Road Crew
Present Location: West Lakes Road Crew is currently using the Rotary,
Front End Loader, D-7 Dozer, John Deere Dozer and the Unimog for snow
removal. The crew has pioneered through Granite Creek and has Rotaried up
to Granite Creek. Snow depths have been averaging between 2 - 4 feet on
the road and 12 feet in the chutes. In the lower elevations there was 12
to 18 inches of fresh snow from yesterdays storm. Crews also worked in
Logan Creek removing debris from the November floods. Hudson Bay Road Crew
was able to make it about a half a mile above the Jackson Glacier gate but
had to stop due to heavy snow and poor visibility. Snow depths were around
3 - 4 feet.
Projected Work Activity (next scheduled work day 4/12/07): West Lakes Road
Crew will continue on from Granite Creek and will continue work in Logan
Creek area. Hudson Bay Road Crew will attempt plowing again above the
Jackson Glacier gate as long as the weather is good.
