Anyone have any updates on when it may open?

Or is it a low snow area also?

After reading your original post this morning, I looked at the ITG and the whole section was still red. Since lunch time, the section west of Hwy.11 has gone to yellow.

You can get around the red section if you don't mind running roads. When you leave Matheson, stay on Monahan Road until you get to Taylor 5 Concession and turn left onto it. Stay on Taylor 5 Concession and about 3 km. west of highway 11 it becomes the A trail.

Just a note re: Taylor 5 Concession. When heading up Monahan Road watch for Taylor 5 Concession ON YOUR LEFT.   Taylor 5 Concession actually goes off to your right in 2 spots before you actually get to the left turn for it that you want.

Thank you. I need that section open by 12 Feb, which I expect it will be. I already have  a KL alternate start point instead of NL,  if the NL area isn't open by the 12th of Feb. Contingency planning.

The section that is closed has been one of the last sections to open over the last few years.

Looks like you are good to go  from Matheson through Val Gagne now. Seems like about 800 km. per day is opening up now according to the ITG.

A route is now available from NL to Cochrane, and with still almost 2 weeks to go, should all be Green by the 12th. I will cancel the backup hotels at KL.

Thanks
