Has anyone on here ever been to Black Lake northwest of Council in the wintertime via snowmobile? I'm familiar with the area in the summertime, but never been up there with snow on the ground.
This wouldn't be a fishing trip. Just a pleasurable journey.

Passing over the high dive is pretty nasty from what I hear. I have never done it myself but am from Council and know a lot of people up there who have. I believe you might have to drop into Granite Creek and climb back over into Lake Creek.

When you say the 'high dive', I presume you are referring to the highest elevation region up the the fire lookout? I suspect there's a big snow cornice that builds up right there from the blowing snow (during winters where we actually HAVE snow, that is).

Yes the high dive is north of Smith Mtn (the lookout). After you pass Smith Mtn the high dive is in the head of Deep Creek. There have been times on the 4th of July that there has still been 15-20 feet of snow in that area.

Ok, I'm still trying to understand this. It looks like I would still need to cross the high dive in order to drop into Granite Creek, and then climb into Lake Creek.
