But the gnome was barren and it was saying there was only like 20cm in the last 3 days. Is the gnome lying to me?

Does the Keystone report mean that there's no way to sled at Keystone if you have a big trailer? I recall we normally part on the highway, but I take it there is no snow on the FSR due to the trucks on it?

This thing called wind. It takes the snow from

In them hills.
Was out yesterday, solid foot of fresh.
A little more if you follow the winds.
Riding on the below crust.

Still some exposed/subsurface landmines.
Snow train needs to get a rolling.

Puking out right now, should be a great week for sledding in revy!


Just to answer the second part of your question Adam, the road to keystone is plowed. Sled deck recommended and radio required to go up the FSR

Do you know what frequency that road uses?

We were also on Boulder today.

Snow was over the windshield most of the day.

Pretty socked in at times, but tracks were filling in pretty quick.

Didn't even bother taking pics.


Best riding day I've had, unless it's sunny on Frisby tomorrow!

Nope. No new fresh. Even had blue skies for awhile yesterday when the wind came through. Seemed like no one went past Alberta hill. It was 2:30 before we even bothered to look because it was so good everywhere.

Where was everyone on Friday? 1/4 parking lot at Boulder, sunny, good snow.
Didn't really see anyone on the hill the whole day. Was awesome.

Mid December surfacehoar is becoming reactive now that the recent storm snow is starting to consolidate. Especially in areas where the wind couldn't destroy it.

ie cutblocks, trees and at treeline.

Be careful out there folks.
Merry Christmasand Happy New Years.

Rode Frisby today....cool out forsure. Found some good snow and untouched but had to drop in to a lot of places to find it. Socked in abit but not heavy but it is snowing. A good re-load would do wonders
