    Invermere area conditions 2018-2019

    The way the wind was hammering on Monday it is likely pretty firm coming up from the south. Great skiing on that north pitch coming to whirlpool. On my way out yesterday there was some nice snow falling. That would be a bit of a chopper ride.

    Yeah I was looking at the tracks up the fingers and over. I would be terrified to come down. Rodeo.

    Invermere area conditions 2018-2019

    So there are two ways from what I can tell. Straight off the back of whirlpool down forester pass proper. The second one is a bit more east where to climb the steep shot off whirlpool like you're going to go up the back door to the glacier. There are some heli stakes back there as well. The...

    Blue bird Sunday with great stability. Snow came in sideways all day Mondayand Monday night. Weird drifts everywhere. Some mixed visibility today with weird pockets of snow. Not really enough to carve. Glacier is like the desert with ribs everywhere. The lake is provided great turns. How steep...

    Makes for a long groom but I'm guessing that is cheaper than plowing? If already grooming to 24 probably easier to blade it back onto the road?

    Sunshine not so Shiny

    I'm going to take a hard disagreement here. This is a case of someone who thinks they dont need to abide by rules and had notoriously ****ed people over. I'd love to agree and in most cases I do. But this has been long time coming (over 20 years of not collaborating with parks)

    Yeah I have a hard time thinking that contract could be binding. The crown would run that place into the ground and if ssv refused to remove everything they would just leave it like what happened at fortress.

    Sunshine not so Shiny

    The government has been after them to address this issue since I worked there in 2000. They seemed to play thei gnor it and we'll get what we want card. However the 42 year lease in its ours for a 1$ is something screwy.

    Yeah super crappy. A friend was saying that cmh bugaboo was basically carpet bombing in December and getting huge results. I imagine now with this bogus snowpack things aren't going to get much better. Condolences to those involved and heads up. Lots of good info in the bulletins.

    Inreach or Spot X

    It was on sale at cabelas last week. For 500. 525 tax in. Not cheap, but replaces my GPS, and spot. Peace of mind being able tell rescuers or friends what the problem is. I went with the 15$ a month plan annually.

    Inreach or Spot X

    I'm with ferniesnow on this. I've had a spot for 9 years. last year I've had 5 messages from squamish to kananaskis that have not gone through. The other thing that chaps my ass with spot is their plan. I used to be 100 bucks a year. Then one day I notice it is not 160 (us). Everyone now has to...

    Quartz was deep..not much traffic and still dumping. Not alot of traffic up high. Several natural avalanches observed into cabin valley. If you get stuck you're stuck. Hard layer about 6 inches thick. If your track gets below that it doesn't move. Headlight deep most of the day
