Pretty good snow back past avalanche alley today. Seen this pretty large slide that came down as you take a left after avalanche alley. Hope no one was hurt.

Some of the guys are talking about doing Vale this weekend, lack of recent snowfall would suggest it's presently pounded out. What's the skinny guys, anything left?

Its the mountains man,always fresh snow to be found.people dont realize that you just have to look a little further for good snow.people who say there is no snow or tracked out after a huge dump last weekend and the weekend before are clearly playing in the main areas.get off the goat path and ye shall find epic pow.

With an amazing weekend of riding behind us we are looking forward to a week of moderate temps and clear skies. The Family Day weekend did a number on the fresh snow although there are still many lines out there. (check our facebook page for a few more photos from Tuesday the 21st in Allen Creek). The lower valley temperatures are quite warm and we are working with almost spring like conditions on the lower trails, but with cool night time temps, they seem to be holding up well. The forecast for the week is not super promising for a reload although the blue bird days are certainly making up for it.

I concur, finding the goods always takes some adventuring and effort, have some spots myself that I don't talk about.

In them hills.

Wow! That's unreal that slid again.
No depression left at the bottom of the hill anymore and it looks like this one ran out maybe even further than the last one.

Bad year for that hill.
