I've been to quartz before but could someone refresh my memory on about how long of a drive it is from golden to the quartz turn off?

Are you sure?

I thought it was 39.5km from the intersection to the turn off.

How's the weather there Zenk? Guess it was raining in revy. We're stoping in quartz creek on the way to revy Friday afternoon. Would be nice to hear some reports on how quartz was?! Thanks!

Talked to Slim Schade today and he said it rained to the top again at Boulder in Revy. Snow is junk.

Yuppers, snow has gone for chit in Revy SnoPro.
Plus 8 on hill.
Snowballed up in front of your sled the size of the your whole front end.
Rained all day! Snow is saturated and when you break thru it is sugar.
Unbeleivable for this time of year.
Sitting at supper with Slim and it was just pounding rain hard at 900 and stll pouring.
Hoping that Golden was diffrnt, but seems it is all the same across the board.

This is the golden conditions area guys not revy...

back on topic

rain at all elevations... There not even grooming, IT is that bad... Could be a crappy weekend.

edit.... Rain up to 6500ft with positive temps up even higher to 21-2300m

With the heavy wet precip, things will be coming down off the steeper stuff, play safe folks, it will be like oatmeal if you get caught

Most definately.... Sounds like a really busy weekend for golden as well. Calgary snowmobile club will be out at Quartz on sat and Sunday for a club ride... As well we have a group of 30 or so hitting another local spot.
