Sorry if I should of started a new thread but just had a quick question. Coming to Blue for the first time this weekend with a larger group. Was just curious if there are any maps of riding areas online or in town I could pick up? There are a few riders in our group with experience in blue but always like to do a little research on my own so I'm not dependent on others for worst case scenarios.

Thanks!
FREE Tours if Staying with Us !!

Yes Stop by the Holy Smoke Inn !!

UPDATE !!!!

Special Message from CAC ( Canadian Avalanche Centre ).......

DEEP persistent Slab Avalanches are becoming less likely BUT the Consequences remain Extremely High .

Diligence and Discipline may be required to RESIST Venturing into Complex Terrain even if there are No obvious Signs of Unstable Snow.

Pre-trip planning should involve talking to a Trained and Experienced Riders with LOCAL Knowledge to Determine if a Weakness of Concern has been Removed by Recent Avalanche Activity.

Stay Tuned more info. on the way.....

Rode blue last two days. Snow was excellent. Was really warm so the snow was very heavy. Snowed lightly all day today, so tons of fresh. Blue river is looking like it did in the old days, ten foot high banks on the highway.
