Well today was just the PERFECT, BLUE BIRD, UNTOUCHED, DEEP POW day on Boulder Mountain,,, you don't see a lot of days like this!

Could have burnt 100L of gas today by myself easy. Only took a few pics, but I have lots of Gopro footage to go through.

any slides dan?

LOTS of slides yesterday, I mean you kind of come in hard and stop short at a top of a drop and let it sluff in front of you.

Today it was pretty stable, how ever there is still that persistent weak layer from December so if you trigger one, it will be
pretty big.

Wow sure firmed up in a day. The rain make it to the top Dan?

Yeah it doesn't take long, but still wicked snow today. No rain up top on boulder, was pretty warm so the snow is heavy.

Find the shady places;)

Wow, can't ask for much better of a day. thanks for the update Dan.

It was awesome today!:beer:

When I was originally planning on taking winters off and riding, I thought about where the over all best place to ride all winter would be.

Places like Golden, Valmount, Blue River, Whistler ext. But deep down I knew Revy is the place to sled.

But then again I never really thought about Lethbridge!!! Haha:beer:
