Photos from Friday Nov 11:
Parking Lot
Trying to punch up the trail in 8ft deep drifts.
Ground still to be covered...
Stepped off the sled to help me get unstuck and nearly disappeared entirely!

From the RSC site.
Frisby AccessNovember 14, 2011
There will be active logging taking place on Frisby for part of this winter. Harvesting should be starting very soon. An alternate route is being constructed by Stella-Jones and funded by government so snowmobile access will continue on Frisby. This is going very well and should be completed this week.
Remember DO NOT snowmobile on a plowed road, it is illegal as well as being very dangerous as there will be active logging traffic and you will be ticketed. If active snowmobiling takes place on the plowed road we could possibly see the area closed until logging is finished....WE DO NOT WANT THAT! The new route will be signed and once logging is finished we will benefit by having a new route on the mountain that will tie in with the old trails, so it is a win/win situation for all of us.
Further information will be posted as we receive it.

We rode Frisbie for 4 days last weekend as it always gets the most snow. Griffin is lower and always gets less snow. I wouldn't think it would be worth it to go there yet.

Grooming is planned to start for the wknd. of Nov. 26.
Logging will be taking place on Frisby this season. The contractor will be completing some pre-logging work in the next few days. Please watch for equipment working and give them lots of space. An alternate route has been established and will be groomed in the coming days. There will be two road crossings (warning signs will be posted). Please stop at these crossings and check for logging traffic. Parking is the same however the booth will be moved to the till pit (1km up the trail) in the next few days. Booth staff will provide you with updates and or further instruction there. If you have any questions or concerns, please call the office at 250-837-3325.

Re: Official REVY Riding conditions 2011/12
I`d like to see trails put in quick too. We just got our first significant snowfall in the valley Wed. night. They are starting to put the trails in on Frisby today, had to wait for contractor to build new trail to avoid logging traffic. This will be good in the end, another groomed trail on Frisby. :d Boulder follows, will be soon. SRS said they want to groom a couple times before they charge. So be prepared to pay a trail pass fee or show proof of your membership on the wknd. of the 26th. Yes Candoo all the girls are all ready to go.
You guys staying out on the Hwy. W side the W trail was washed out late last spring when a huge mudslide came down onto Westside Rd. There is now a creek bed with huge boulders in the bottom of it, the trail is now a winter only trail and there will have to be a couple of good snowfalls to be able to groom. I don`t know how or if guys are somehow getting across now.

Thanks for keeping the out of towners up to date!
Ya, i had heard about the washout... wonder if businesses on the west side will pay or push to get that fixed??!
This will force us to load sleds and drive around, but will be good to see you and the crew on a regular basis
... that may push you to get the washout fixed...
Wii be out this weekend for the first trip, hope to see ya creeping around the bottom LOL

Re: Official REVY Riding conditions 2011/12
I don`t want to work, I have a new motor to break in Was great to see so many of all you guys at the shows, and Homer helped me get rid of a "Crazy Sticker Collector" in Saskatoon . The washout has been filled with pallets. Just need a bunch of snow to fill it in. The W side booth has also been moved closer to the old 4 km. on the Bezanson. The booth will be staffed this season. Sun is comming out.
