Rode Allen today. The visibility was kind of poor but lots of deep fresh to be found in the trees between the cabin & avalanche alley

How is it? Headed out there now for the first time. What's recommended?

I won't know until he get back for in from the ride.
If it is your first time I would go with Clemina. It is one of the most open areas.

Chappell was fun today with the deeper snow being in the trees and vis was poor due to fog. Raining at lower elevations and at the parking lot when we came down this evening. I found one of them creek holes that took 4 f us to get the tank out of.

We were in clemina. Was good, but the visability is craaaaaaaaap. We stopped at vinnys to try and find a solution to constant goggle fog. Not sure if they'll work but I'm trying the fan goggles. Might try chappel tomorrow. If you see a white Ford with a white enclosed, and a black lifted Ford usually with a cargo trailer, that's us. Come say hi. We're staying at the dream catcher. Very impressed and would recommend

The alpine has received great snow over the last week and the riding has been excellent, when the weather has been cooperating...... Blowing snow and high winds seem to have been the theme over the weekend. The snow levels area highly variable and the avalanche conditions will be touchy for a while. There is excellent snow available in non-avalanche terrain, so please tone it back for a while. There are fresh tracks to be had everywhere, so no need to push terrain.

We are doing our best with the grooming as we transition quickly into this spring weather, and your understanding is appreciated

Rode Allan today. Awesome snow in the trees. Headlight deep in many places. It rained most of the weekend down low but it was all snow up top. Very warm temps and the snow Changes big time with elevation. Sets up fast spring is here!
