In reply to Boondockingdawg ... where are we located ? the Grizzly Lodge is actually located at the base of Pukeashun Mt which is approx 10 km north west of Crowfoot Mt Check it out on google earth ... the riding area is massive

Spent the day riding up around Grizzly Lodge. We rode the trail up to the ridge (gas drop) and played near here since the visibility was poor. To give an idea of the amount of snow.....no one made it out the usual trail onto the ridge! We had to backtrack up the lower angled gulley. It is hard to get an accurate snow depth with all the transporting by wind, but the boot penetration is crotch! (3 feet +)

The clouds did finally break, but we were across the valley towards Lichen at this point. The day was GREAT!!!! There has been a lot of wind effect at the higher elevations but coverage was good. There was an ugly rain crust on the N side of Lichen at around 6000 feet. It was over a quarter inch thick!!! Breaks out in plates.....

Observed some fracturing in the wind loaded areas....so be aware and ride safe!

Hey finally got some pics for you guys to check out ... All taken yesterday ! What an incredible Blue Bird Day .... by the looks of our snow pack we now have more than last year in January ! We found some awesome untouched powder below the gas drop, carved that up then headed across the land bridge for the basin on the north side of Little Pukeashun ( first pic ) Where as you can see my sled was rely wanting to climb !! LOL

In reply to white ghost. Yup Adam and Ken will be at the Lodge for the season.

Hope to see ya on the mountain ! grizzlylodge.ca
