Howdy folks, here is a good report for anyone coming out this weekend.
Monday Apr 5, Mcdonald: Well staged up in the Casstle area and took a rip back into the Mcdonald area. Not a single track and easily 1 and a 1/2 foot of fresh everywhere when we got back to the divide area. Fun plaing in any...
Weird, I got kicked off, anyways in all the areas I was in it Snowed heavy all day. Probably up to a foot in some areas in the rolling hills where we found 1 - 1 1/2 feet of fresh in a few areas and it was a BLAST. Other areas up high in the rolling hills (Saddle) wind had really picked up and...
Hey Fernie, I never ended up going as we went quading instead. I talked to a friend last night that was up playing in the Mear lake area and said it was fun and yes he said a foot to foot and a 1/2.
Was out yesterday in the Rolling hills and then Secret and Hidden and back into ( No Name) a...
I just talked to a buddy that was back at the notch and over to the east. today. He said in the trees it was great and that their was 2 -3 feet. That means 1-1/2;) Max. I think people get excited and they honestly think that is what is there. Also when you trench thru the 1 foot of powder and...
OK Gang here is the honest snow report from the area.
1) Sledded Monday in the Rolling Hills. Staged from the power line. When we left the truck their was 2-3 inches on the road, it was like sleet coming down.
We climbed the powerline all the way into Hidden. Snow was about 5-6 inches
when we...
Was in Hidden and secret Valley yesterday. In the trees it was quite good, but out very windblown. Very hard conditions until the sun came out 1:30 ish and then it soffened up a bit. Saw a lot of recent ( Yesterday or day before) avalanches on the northeast facing slopes and 1 monster one with...
Best hope the pipeline gets some white stuff. fernie got some today, but I was out that way the other day and it is getting pretty thin and some bare areas for sure. When you get back into secret/Hidden and the rolling hills it was great. But the notch ????????
Ram Creek area is really good.
Maybe the mods can put this one up where it is more visible, so we can get more ideas and people involved with this. Maybe I should have titled it " lets get All clubs together for ideas on better Safety Etc.;)"
Northpow, in the pass that golfing is a month away at least and that is if it doesn't snow. Had some friends who were back in Boonies near South Castle yesterday and said their was a ft of freshies in the trees and they had a riot
in the trees ( Note in the Trees). Did say they saw and heard a...
I think the Operations that run cat and Heli businesses are very well regulated and have to follow strict guidlines especially when it comes to their guides. Not positive but pretty sure of this.
Whatever laws and regs That are implemented for fall 2011, will include all backcountry users form...
Well we have all probably heard that another Avy killed some skiers near Valemount yesterday. Condolances for sure.
It has been a very tough 2 weeks for sure.
On this site and others everyone is pointing at this and that, and stating do this or that and the Gov't is saying this and that.
I...
Holy crazy MAN!!!!!!!!! I am going to go get my trusty winchester and blow me up some dudes.
Pretty redneck comments on here, I almost peesed my pants.
If you honestly showed some of the comments on here to Joe Normal, they would have a field day with this.
I agree with the Poster that says...
I honestly know some guys who have the course and still do not have a clue.
As for beacon use, I will not ride with anyone who does not know how to use one. I ride with pretty much the same 2-3 guys all the time. They are all trained in Avy smarts. We always make sure anyone else that comes with...
