Was up at Quartz yesterday. Pretty tracked out on the lower section, but there was some good snow around the Saddle and above. Avy conditions are obviously "considerable" at alpine, so play safe and keep your head up. I'm planning to head out there Saturday and Sunday next weekend (Dec 28/29). Shoot me a PM if you're interested in going. There may be a few of us.

Was up at Quartz again today. The area did get some snow, 5-6in since Sunday, but still not enough. We did get bluebird sky for most of the day and the vis was really good. There are still a ton of landmines lurking just below the surface. We exposed a few of them by accident.

Did not witness any avalanches and was with a group that was pushing some of the ridges in Prairie Hills. Played up there most of the day without any issue. Be mindful of the conditions, and apply some simple common sense when you're out there.

Hope to to be back out this weekend.

anyone up recently? Kicking horse doesn't show much, but looks like Roger's Pass got hit and is getting more snow. Looking at going tomorrow or sunday, looking for a partner too.

I was out Friday, and Saturday. So much powder, was unreal. Didn't go to Quartz though. Best couple days I have ever had in Golden. You guys will have a blast.
