Went to Bullmoose yesterday - wind really got rid of alot of the snow.
Need alot more snow before I would go again.

Hey Powderhound:

Can do. I know he's pretty bad with email; I spend a few months trying to track him down. Sorry I missed your note; I thought I was automatically subscribed to this thread, and would get email notifications, but I had to turn it on.

I will mention that there's a bunch of you looking for memberships, and if you want to send me an email (tourism@dtr.ca) with the salient details and I can pass them on to him....

In addition to the wind mentioned by tfreddy, warm weather has also been hard on lower elevation areas (not that many people come here for the lower trails, but still...). There is only a bit of snow remaining on the ground in town. While it started snowing about five minutes ago, forecast is for less than an inch. I'll keep you posted.

We've had some snow in the last few days, but I don't expect it's enough to rescue Bullmoose, especially with another blast of 50 kph+ wind today. The Core Lodge has really settled in and riding is great, as long as you stay out of the trees. Elsewhere, I haven't had any reports yet, but I suspect it's similar. If it's exposed to the wind, conditions will still be iffy. If it's sheltered, chances are, it'll be good. Snow levels are lower than normal for this time of year.

If you've been out and have anything to add, let me know, as I'm putting together the official report for tomorrow.

Thanks!

Some boys went to Wolverine yesterday said it was epic with 2.5' of fresh pow and could ride anywhere.

There was about three inches of snow in town yesterday. Don't know how much that'll translate to in the mountains, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say there's at least three inches of fresh snow there, too....

 

[Himark]

haha...i like youre logic!!

i HATE when guys bullch!t about the snow. nothing worse. oh ya man, just got back, 3 ft of fresh pow....no pics, go out 2 days later...MAYBE 2 feet!! drives me bonkers!! lmao

Went out to Core lodge yesterday. six of us went in .. was looking promising, started storming and by the time we were on our way out there was probably 1'1/2 to 2' fresh. Could of been good but we spent most of our time trying to find our way out of a creek. Whoever makes in in asap will have some fun.

We are headed up to Tumbler over Christmas to spend time with family. We are planning to bring our sleds but have never rode in the area. Spent lots of time up PK. If anyone would be interested in showing us around PM me. We have our AST 1 and all our saftey gear. So if anyone wants to get out for a ride between Chrismas and New Years............

I might be able to hook you up with some locals, too, though I am not going to be around. Let me know if you don't find anyone.
