This was sent this morning from Boulder cabin.
Did you know you can text from the cabin in case of an emergency?

Just leaving revy now after riding Boulder the past two days. Both times parking at the 15km gates and riding 1.5 miles of snow/mud/rocks/water to the cabin. Snow is receding quick and today the last km was all mud to the parking lot. I think they should close it until they get more snow. Once up yesterday the snow was fairly mushy, very much like spring riding. We probed 170cm right near turbo and 120cm at sugar bowl. Today there was 14-16" of fresh this morning starting only at 6500feet. Made for an awesome day today with off and on sun, at least 30 sleds in there today. Overall good weekend and worth the trip but will not be going back until the snow line comes way down. Here's a couple pics from today

Any info on unload spot at frisby heading there Wednesday- what km

 

[Powder Puff]

Now at Boulder gate. I bet all the trail work and water bars we have just built are taking a beating. Does someone know what access was like at Frisby yest?

Will be watching this thread carefully throughout the week as we are planning to deck-up on Thursday and endure the muddy trails to find the white gold.... Seems like you are likely to find snow up top near the alpine regardless of the temps in town and how rough the trail is from the gates...

I believe there is 13 or something different riding areas, read through and descriptions and pick the one that best suits your riding. I would recommend Boulder or Frisby as they have cabins with maps and lots of other riders that you could tag along with for a day to learn the area. Be prepared to drive up a logging road and ride some mud, it's still early season

Hoping someone found my summit xm jerry can on the frisbee trail Friday last week , you can have the gas just looking to get jerry back

 

[Buster1]

I hope you find your jerry can. What km did you park at and how much mud and gravel did you have to ride?

 

[rotaxrider]

We parked where the snow started km8 or 9 never really noticed any markers , trail was muddy and water flowing and some snow for the first km cabin only had about 2 feet snow was better up top , I won't be back till it snows more up top and the way revy is that could be any day now lol

Heading up Thursday. Will have a 4 place enclosed (28ft). Any idea where the best place to park and ride out of will be? I'm concerned about not being able to turnaround, we usually ride right from the lot. Was also considering going somewhere others then Frisby/Boulder, any suggestions? Have only ever ridden at those two places in Revy. We have a few pro's in the group so over heating is a issue haha

Don't even bother if you bring the big trailer, don't be that guy that screwed up others day cause your all fawked up on the road in or out






It's a know fact, early and late season is sled deck and 2 place trailer that you can manually turn around on the trail and hook back up


I would say a 28 foot enclosed is a few weeks away at least

it will take a very big storm to get things going here , the very warm temps lately have delayed things a lot .

I assume the area is similar to ours........................unseasonably warm and warm right to the top. We have lost a lot of snow in the last week.

 

[sledshedrevy]

crazy warm .sled busting trail wrecking conditions.14 today . its late enough that when it changes it will come down the mtn and away we go but rught now watch the weather forcast carfully before spending the time to come here . the outlying areas are not accessiable unless we get a pile of snow to crush the willows down to allow access .

 

[skegpro]

Gonna take some time for any new storm snow to stabilize once placed on top of this crust.
