Just looked at Hwy 22X south on the north side of the 520 and it's snowing good. Heavy snow is supposed to hit at midnight with winds to 80km and up to 40cm of snow in the southwest foothills. Hello Cataract Creek, think I'm gonna head out in the morning and hit some fluffy white snow before anyone tracks it up. Hopefully 20+ inches to be there in the AM.

It's only an hour to Cataract for me so after skipping out on work today I just might skip another and go see for myself tomorrow. Buy then I really have to get to work.

Do it Barton, it's awesome out there right now. Maybe hit calgarysledguy with a PM if you're going. He's thinking of going back Friday. Great guy to ride with as I will attest to from todays outing.

It's for real alright...but as stated above, it won't last long. A spring storm rolled through there Wednesday night and dropped 2-3 feet on the southern end of the trail system. It will melt fast with todays temps (especially the staging area and Etherington trails), and you should be forewarned that this area is closed to snowmobiles tomorrow May 1st. If you're going to go ride it, do it today cause tomorrow they start handing out big fines if you're caught in there.

Thanks for the great pictures Daryl. That was a fun day!
