If I new that was from his bedroom I wouldn't have edited it. I think we are all just lucky the reflection off the window didn't reveal anything.

What's the good word?? Is any of the snow that's hitting Revy finding a home in Sicy??... Surely someone's been out checking things out?

Unloaded just before km9 Owls with revbyu... Coulda drove to 11 but getting slick... Skiff on top of two ice layers 1/2" and 1/4" sandwiched together on top of 3-4' of bottomless. Went to Blue Lake past the cabin and poked around a bit. Ice was an issue as once you dipped a ski it wanted to grab you and pull you down. Lake has open water around the edge so didnt go all the way down. Could be avy danger on the way.

went up owls today. Unloaded at 9km or so. Some truck went farther 10.5 km! there was truck that went to km 19 ! Not much some at km 9 - still rocks showing and you dont stop hitting rocks until about the 14km marker ! snow got better and better but any off the beaten trail you did -you could feel a crust ! it had been raining then froze - was hoping it to turn to snow as we got higher in elevation ! no tracks going into owls ! kept going on toward Blue - snow of trail was about foot deep with crust !As we went through connector between owls and blue trail was rough ! When we got within km of Blue cabin we ventured off the trail and into open areas to right of trail ! So was really crusty - played abit and stopped to chk snow - there was a thin crust on top and then inch of snow and then another thicker 1/2 inch layer of ice and under that probably 4/5 ft of heavy snow ! Made it very hard to walk in ! went back on trail and ventured our to cabin and watched some sledders climbing the hill! couple rocks / dirt backs were exposed ! After taking a few pokes over to the right side of the hill we decided to head north of the cabin into the Bowls - still alot of trees exposed - Skis kept falling into snow and was hard to get the ski back on top - we played abit and were headed towards blue lake it got really hard to steer and control movements ! Stopped for a breather and discovered the problem ! Yikes - this weather is crazy ! Not sure was this is gonna do for the season
