It's now bumper deep from the 19km, it would be a tough pull with a big trailer and if you meet someone going the opposite direction in any vehicle it will be nasty.

Club is trying to get it plowed but the grader is busy on other jobs.

There is enough snow to ride from 19km imo.

Was a good one, 80 hands sold. Made some money for search and rescue and the club.
Great meal and banquet, over $6000 in auction prizes taken home. Thank you to all who supported.
Not alot of snow in the meadow but was pretty good up high. Trail groomed on the way out too.

That's an pretty decent turnout eh! Anybody string together a good hand?

Any updates on the conditions? Doesn't look like much snow lately? Brewer all punched out yet?

Ya local guy had a full house with 3 kings won it. Took home $600 for a $20 investment.
Snow was decent on the glacier and lakes, maybe 12".
Most areas I think are pounded, storm coming this week I hope. Want to get my sled off break in by end of season....
Get yours running right?

Dropped it with buddy bakc home and he'll get it tuned up. Got the other 174 in the trailer and buddies freeride so if worst comes to worst borrow his probably. Looks like the radar is puking. Snowing pretty good up here at the ski hill!

Blue bird Sunday with great stability. Snow came in sideways all day Mondayand Monday night. Weird drifts everywhere. Some mixed visibility today with weird pockets of snow. Not really enough to carve. Glacier is like the desert with ribs everywhere. The lake is provided great turns.
How steep is that gully off the back of the forester pass in to howser creek area? Saw some tracks back towards another lake. Looks like good skiing back there.

I did it on a deep day. Needed all 200hp and a little luck to get back up. Been on my bucket list, did it on a day when I had enough money for a chopper ride. I consider it extreme, it may not be, as I seen tracks up and over the finger shoots, that’s just crazy. I’d come down those shoots with the volocity and accuracy of an Iraqi Skud missile
