Default Orloff tomorrow

Heading to orloff tomorrow and wondering if anybody local to the area could tell me how much snow is their out there. We have to make the 5km trip in from the staging area and wondering if I should be taking my quad( thought for sure before recent snow) or if there is enough snow for my sled ( it likes to overheat pulling my otter sled in if there isn't enough snow).
Thanks
Food for thought

I was in a few weeks ago and a quad would not have been fun. Bring the snow machine.
Fishin was good.

Enjoy!

We are heading there this weekend and we only have quads, going to be interesting to see how this turns out...
Where abouts is the staging area?
Thanks

Quads wouldn't be too fun, had my sled out there last weekend. Summit 163". Overheated once on the trail in, but lots of snow on the lake.

There is not a lot of snow but a sled is always a better idea. But why would you sled or quad when you can drive in the comfort of a heated vehicle?? Orloff isn't a difficult to access lake anymore...

From which side? I've been in on the south, how do you get there from the north? I see trucks coming in that way.

There's enough snow on the lake to keep the sleds cool. To much snow for a quad to drive around anywhere quick.

Me and the group I go with spent an hour cleaning up garbage on the trail on the way out. How can someone treat a provincial park that way is horrible bet those people don't do that if I catch them......
