Rode Boulder today not much fresh although we did venture off in the trees and had fun. It snowed heavy for 10 mins today up there and stopped. Met the groomer tonight on the way down. A little icy for the first bit but thought the trail was in good shape. Try Frisby tomorrow and will give an update on conditions.

Sled : Community : Canadian Avalanche Centre : avalanche.ca

This is the sled orientated part of the site. It gives a list as you scroll down as to what parts of the mountains are what riding areas. Hope this helps.

Sorry for the poor quality pics but I think you will get the idea. It's been a long time since I have rode in snow so deep that you were chocking on it as your helmet was filling up all day. With a good base and colder temps the past snow fall hit us hard even in town. All you could see was helmets floating on top of the powder and when carved one be ready to hold your breath.

Re: Official REVY Riding conditions 2011/12

had a blast out there, met some guys who took us all the way back to monster bowl in turtle on friday in the sun, came out from just above turtle lake in the dark as a guy blew a chain- unbelievable is all i can say then the fresh snow saturday was awesome boondocked the trees hard all day. not suprised there was 2' sunday morning as we were last to come down fri night besides the lady who runs the food canteen. snowing so hard at times you couldnt see 30'. Really really was hoping the pass would be closed sunday so we could ride another day.

Re: Official REVY Riding conditions 2011/12

It's suppose to snow all week so if your heading out you better take two snorkles with you. One for youe sled and one so you can breath. Was hard enough Sunday can't imagine what it will be like this coming weekend.

Glad you guys enjoyed the trip. Too bad we didn't ride a bit more. Just wanted to show you how to get back in to the area. Thanks for the assistance in removing the chain.
A Special thanks to ROZZY and company for the help getting back in to the sled on saturday. It socked in pretty bad and with all the fresh snow it was pretty difficult getting back in riding tandom. Feel bad though, they asssited us in getting our sled up and running, and just when we went to leave one of his machines had a clutch issue and was left behind in the same valley. I wish we could have returned the favor, but our group had to leave that night, because of work. Pushing fresh snow over the hoods most all the way out. Thanks again to all who assisted us.
