My brother and I might be headed up there next week as well. Hopefully the snow situation smartens up.

I work in the oil and gas industry in Scotland, we pay millions for a weather forecast and feedback local parameters etc and the best we can reliably get is three days so anything more than that is cloud cookoo land in my opinion!!

I am in kelowna tonight heading for revvy tomorrow so I'm hoping for white at the very least!

I think most folks agree that long term forecasts are a crap shoot but it's fun to look at em'. I would best almost anyone who plans a trip is looking at a seven day forecast the week before. Just human nature to be in the know. Or at least feel like we are. There's a reason the farmers almanac sells millions of copies each year!

Oh I don't disagree was just stating the obvious in the hope of cheering the thread and myself up a bit, I had to plan my week long trip two months ago so I am totally in the hands of the gods and have a lot of emotion invested haha

My my old man is a farmer, I think the weather app is the only one he uses on his phone! Haha

Had some good fun in the caribou closure on Frisby today...plenty of untracked decent snow. Would I drive 13hrs for it? Not sure, but I'd definitely spend my day shredding and having a hard time wiping off the grin!

Rode Boulder yesterday was maybe 6-8" of fresh in the alpine. No many tracks past Sugar bowl. Was puking when we came down. Trees around cabin were terrible previous rain beat the crap out of the snow down lower.

Ridden worst snow but could be better.

We drove up to revy late Wednesday night expecting so deep fresh from the forecast that was given. Has done nothing but rain since we got here. That being said, it's not horrible. Would I have come 13hrs if I knew conditions were like this?? Probably not

3km up you hit snow it was +5 today. Surprised there still grooming. Guys are still dropping in parking lot and just dealing with it I guess. We come in the west entrance and snow is fine on the trail. Up top snow is garbage. Looked promising yesterday but today is ****ty we went from turbo to private medows and no good snow

SnoPro,
I was riding with Gibsons today, We basically did every spot on Boulder and snow is hero snow.
Lots of untracked but when and if you can sink a ski, you have have found the patch.
Trail fromFrisby is ridiable, the trail up to Bezanson and Kirkup should be decks and trucks.......
Welcome to late April conditions....
2nd lake actually has open water.
They closed trails on Frisby yesterday due to the creeks flowing......

Bizarre conditions for December.... but all in all great day today with on and off sunshine and great folks all around to share stories with..

Hope things change here in the next couple weeks.
