Follow weather reports and radar my friend.I’m posting in the revy thread so if someone tells me something changed over night I would drive west instead of north.

This time of year you have to do your own research and conditions can change in a day in revy with warm temps or rain. If you cant figure it out dont go lolThis is the most only “right” answer here

Haha. Ya load up the quads!So deep ... the creeks that is.
Isn't a guy coming on here asking for conditions doing his research? I must be the only one who actually looks on these threads for real time conditions from fellow riders that actually rode the area on the same day lol. That is is literally the number one reason to have a thread like this one, you can look at the forecast all you want but having guys report on snow conditions, probing depth and reporting on how high up the rain reached on here is more valuable to me.This time of year you have to do your own research and conditions can change in a day in revy with warm temps or rain.

Glad it worked out. Sounds like those boys should invest in an inreach or sat phone. We have used ours a ton of times where we are getting off the mountain late with breakdowns, but everyone is OK.Rode Frisbey yesterday and Boulder today. Definitely needs another 6-8’. Lots of stumps and cut offs everywhere. Couple times we trenched out and threw up dirt. Hope it started dumping befor the new year. All in all it was ok for the first 2 riding days or the season. Hope I make it out the same. 2 more days of riding to go.
On a side note. We pulled into the Boulder parking lot this morning. First ones in. Then the SAR’s crew pulled in before we even had the sleds off the deck. 2 Saskatchewan boys didn’t make it off the hill on Sunday and spent the night. One of the moms called it in after they didn’t check in and she couldn’t get ahold of them.
Think the SAR’s crew was 12-14 total and a chopper. 8 on sleds and the ski crew. Chopper was in the air for a few hours. We left the cabin just after 9. Heard the chopper before 9:30 and seen/heard them until around 11.
Good news story though. Heard the boys made it to the cabin around 11:00am on their own power. Someone said one of the sleds had some damage. Glad it all worked out and they are safe.
