Too warm to snow in town but by the time you get to westridge parking lot light snow at 16km up westridge it was heavy snow with about 2.5-3' of fresh with very little use...we were down to one previous track and handle bar deep powder by the time we turned around

for those with family in town for the holidays the westridge family loop is in amazing shape. tons of fresh on the sides and a nice trail down the middle all the way no bumps.








got a little antsy on the trail..

No we are going to clamina, but thank you for the offer. Not sure if we were on the family loop at westridge..just stayed on the main road but we ended up turning around because I didn't want to go down the big hill just 3 new riders. Maxwell may have seen our tracks where we turned around. Amazing shape is right I'd jump off the trail and trench 3'....friggin awesome. Thanks for the advice and the offer curtis..I envy your lot in life just a tad....

Depends on how your measuring CP off the sled in one spot was standing almost chest deep so 3-4' on the sled could trench 2+ ft if off the side of the tail

Rode Blue River this past weekend.

Parberry was in very poor shape. We should have turned around as soon as we got up there. There wasn't much snow at all and it was very windblown. Lots of trees/stumps showing that normally would be covered. Definitely low on snow.

White River had some decent snow but was pretty tracked up when we left. It probably had about 2 more feet than Parberry.

Foam had about 2 feet of powder with about 6 inches of fresh. There were only about 3 sleds there when we got there. We only played for about an hour and had to leave, but it there was definitely enough snow to play relatively safely.

All in all I was fairly disappointed in the conditions. Bottom line, they need more snow.
