Was planning on heading out this sunday/Monday. Truck with sled deck and winch. Anybody done the early season trek yet?

Too early yet. Check the ski Hill cams. Some snow up high but nothing down low.

7 day has lots of moisture in it and Temps falling nicely. Anyone got some pics of the hills?

There are a couple guys that said they were going to post pictures on their way back from Kamloops.

Tons of rain hitting blue. Snow up top?

Guys were into Groundhog over the weekend, snow starts at 5km. Apparently DEEP up top already

With that forecast if freezing level is low, that's a ton of snow. Any pics from Blue?

Okay. Back on topic. I will be heading up to blue this weekend to check things out since I heard dudes were riding groundhog last weekend and it was "DEEEEP" up top.

My buddies and I are interested in trying Blue River this year. Does anybody have any maps of the staging areas and riding areas they would like to share?

Pouring rain up to 1800m. Alpine access is diminished. We drove up groundhog and hit the snow. Rode for 5 km and snow thinned out to nothing... I am assuming the pouring rain from all this week and today killed the snow that was around... still needs another couple of weeks boys. Thought I'd give you an update
