I love when you have one spot and take that action photo and post. LOL BWHAAAA!
I am surprised that MIKE270412https://www.snowandmud.com/members/3839.html has not ****ed up this thread like he has done to all other ones. He is definitely becoming the next douche bag of posts. Hope all my gWammer is correct!?>#$%.IjUTT!

Good snow with a reload coming.
Have to go Garth Brooks tonight because daughter bought tickets for Christmas gift. see you on Saturday Dan...
Snowpro, i will PM you so we can meet up and talk about 2 new sled orders....Of course over a suds or two. Your treat of course so you can win me over for a purchase. LOL..JK!
Dan, you owe me an order of wings from the RMR... or was it me that owes you?

Please post a few more pics so those who are keyboard junkies can tell us what conditions are really like.\\

OZONE!!! Time to fly, MEOOOW!!!!. 10 days again.

We rode Frisby on Friday and it was the best day of the weekend. A bit cloudy, but we chased sun dogs up top around dildo most of the day and the snow was excellent. Not deep powder, but deep enough and fresh enough you could do whatever you wanted without too much effort.

Saturday was foggy and we were back at Frisby playing in the trees. The light was pretty bad and everything was flat, so staying in the trees was the safest bet.

On Saturday we came across a burning sled dead center in the middle of the main Frisby trail about 3/4 of the way up before the cabin. It had melted about 2 feet into the snow and you could see that wood had been added to the fire to make sure it burned completely. Definitely deliberate. I can understand why it was done (stolen? insurance?), but why in the middle of the trail? Idiots.

We headed for Boulder on Sunday, but it was so socked in there was no point staying and we headed back to Frisby and into the trees again. We usually ride the McBride area, but the snow is so incredible in Revy we're already planning another trip in a few weeks.

We all got a real good laugh at the cabbin when we heard some guy was all wound up thinking people put wood on the sled to burn it. It was an old sled he picked up for his wife to try out. I know the guy and our group came along just after it lit up. We tryied to get it out but it got out of controle. He let it and went to smokey bear to borrow the sled to get it down. Clean up everything he could and made sure that it was all out in the end.

you really gotta know where to go or else its pretty severely tracked out, everytime I've went the parkings were overloaded, trails trashed and areas completely tracked apart from the odd pocket in the trees, thats why now I ride further west, if id know a local then id probably be riding revy, just not the high traffic areas all the out of towners ride

Yeah I know a place or 2. Just don't bother anywhere with a Cabin unless you want to Bushwack all day. And even if I wanted to do that I'd still go somewhere else.
I hate tracks.

Heard Revy still way down in snow compared to other years, good to here Fernie, and whitefish can carry some of the weight this year, maybe a decent secon half for them
