2016/17 Revelstoke Conditions

[kanedog]

And the convoy of lifted crew cabs, 6" dual exhaust out the box, black smoke blowing, beer/fireball/crown/jack chuggin', 300hp first sled, stuck on trail, overloaded 9 place trailer, Alberta sledders turn around.
As a side effect, liquor sales in Revy may hit historical lows.

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

Lol

Looks like July up there. Record setting high temps all over the province yesterday. Less than a ft. of snow now at cabin.
Yamacam is out of power. So until we get snow again I doubt anyone is going to run 2 kms of mud and rocks to run generator.
Grooming machines are ready to go but until there is enough snow (2-3 ft.) on trails to start building trails and we can reach an area where we can turn around a transport truck and trailer (4 and 6 km at Boulder, snow is 17 km mark now) that won`t be happening.
Elevation closure on Frisby is at treeline. So when you see large evergreens you are there, there was a sign.

Hope you`re all snow dancing.

Revelstoke Mountain Resort snow forecast for 2225 m

Keep in mind most riding happens between ~1300m and Max 2400m

Looks like the freezing temps are supposed to cool towards the weekend but still not a substantial amount of snow in the forecast.

Mountain Weather Forecasts
Coordinate this with avalanche.ca for avy conditions. Then creep on hwy, mountain and ski hill Webcams around the same elevation and areas that you will be riding and you get a good picture of what is happening snow, weather and avy wise.
Cheers!

Riding buddy said he came across a red 28ft enclosed trailer getting loaded up South of Edmonton on his way home from work... if this is the same guy who is heading to Revy Thursday, good on you... We are still contemplating decking up and heading down this weekend, either Thursday or Friday. Maybe not enough snow to ride boulder but that's the nice thing about Sale is you can drive to the snow!!

Alberta boys still on their way, West bound & down

 

[tko sled ed]

We are headed up to ride Sunday Monday cooler temperatures and up to 20cm Friday sat then another 5-10 on Sunday night

I was looking at that.. we've decided to head out Friday now hoping that the cooler weather comes in quicker than shown and we can benefit from those snow falls as well.

Oh ya, so your egging on the sh!t show eh


Sorry but only place that may have snow for a 28 foot trailer, that can park and ride from, might be quartz Creek



The snow line went way, way back up and I bet even sale is dang near the last cut block and log landing where the helicopter plankers get dropped

You might even have a hard time to get to snow with a deck

What Mountain do you use for the Revelstoke area? I can't seem to find any of the peaks on there. It appears it runs off the same data as Snow Forecast.

roads are incredibly soft. I bet you can't drive to snow on sale without seriously tearing up that road.

I blame poor snow conditions on gen4 delivery. It was better before they arrived.

Did you manage to get your hot pockets warmed up?

 

[Jorgy]

Snow forecast is not looking promising, freezing level above 8000' until late Friday night, and precipitation is coming starting Friday afternoon. I bet by Friday night there is no snow until the cabin at Boulder. Trail will be a mess. If anyone is riding this weekend please take photos of buddy with the 4 place enclosed when it's upside down off the side of the logging road lol

I never said conditions would be anything close to great. But there will be snow, and we are willing to try. This is an exploration trip to document the snow conditions, as I am sure there are a few people on here who would appreciate that.

I suggest even more people would appreciate you not making a total mess of the road/trail .
