Hit Allen today snow was good past Super Bowl. A little hard to see way in the back but snow is way better. Going to take the plunge tomorrow will take a couple pics but won't have them up till I get home.
Ok not truly shoveled out but a solid line set up in it as per the last 2 years I've been riding there. I'll be up next weekend if all goes according to plan. Hopefully the temps drop down low, as much as I like filling sleds in +5 at shell/petro I would sooner have more snow down low. Wonder how the cycle works boys made out with that broken skid shock on the demo pro Saturday night

sasksummit, xp mountainrider will be there tomorrow riding with a 12 sp 146. If you see him, whatever he's doing at the time, tell him you saw thegeneral do it better last week lol
Been riding oasis all week since Monday... Trail up is perfect we packed it great until another group came up behind us today and made a bad trench in a terrible spot we saw as we were coming out.
Haven't packed over the ridge to any other bowls except the first one too dangerous and socked in.
First bowl is demolished though

Lemme guess...the right hander half way up the cut block? (trench).
Actually that one has been trenches since we got there. Just been going past it and turning around and taking a nice slow left through there... It's about 20 feet past that turn right where you have to climb someone put like a 4 foot trench in there right in the middle of the trail. We saw it coming out today definitely going to bottom out on running boards!

Trails will be tittled up tonight as best we can with the low snow in the valley bottom.
Was a great first day of operations, thank everyone for coming out.
We enjoyed the first runs of the year up at the sled ski facility. What a cool place.
Play hard and ride safe tomorrow folks, see you at Allen

don't worry Curtis, only posting pics, never directions. Besides, most people think too much of their sleds to risk the plunge!

Well we have full intentions of taking the plunge tomorrow. 99% chance we will make the drop into the second bowl.Been riding oasis all week since Monday... Trail up is perfect we packed it great until another group came up behind us today and made a bad trench in a terrible spot we saw as we were coming out.

Did anyone ride Allen Creek today? How was the snow in the back? We saw alot of guys in the Parking lot today. Just curious. Thanks
Had a good day in Allen yesterday, trail nicely was groomed for the ride out. Only went as far as the entrance to Avy Alley.
Today we rode Chappel. The trail was long and bumpy, but not as bad as I thought it was going to be. The creeks are open but not too difficult to cross. Snow in the alpine was AMAZING, Me n my buddy dropped fresh tracks into the bowl and had it to ourselves for 3 or 4 hours. Its going to be tough to beat today.
