Good snow and conditions over the new year break.

Surrounding mountains through out Revy were untouched.

Not close enough to the Mountains, AB
Nothing yet, hopefully they were prepared enough to spend a night.

From reading a different article, sounds like they were Riders with limited sledding experience on rental sleds. Although they did say they also rented some survival gear so hopefully that helps.

Always a toss-up if the mountain should be open so that there's more eyes to search or if you shut down the whole mountain for SAR. Let's hope that they are found today. If anyone does hear an update I'd appreciate knowing as well.

Another amazing weekend in Revy! Big thanks to the guys and girls at fullspeed and peaks. Had great equipment and conditions. 3 yeti bikes from fullspeed ran perfect, the snow was deep! Peaks was good, Didn't eat there but hot tubs were hot, beer was cold! Tried to go to chubby Saturday night but the PM was there.... Wolsey creek was unreal anyways, made it to chubbys Sunday

No, not Hall. That is South and beginer hills.

This was at Lipper Mouth Creek.

Favovorite for guided tours.

Lil Duke and Ozone know the area well but only go when conditions are favourable also!

Happy sleeding....Snow is deep and peps should stay home till the avy conditions improve.

We will let you know when all areas are concrete and easy to ride... LOL.. BWHAAAA.

Please check AVCanada before you decide to go this weekend it is extreme from now tell Sunday in all aspects !!! Maybe a good weekend to NOT go out !!!


We we were considering making a last minute trip out. Heading up next weekend as well (planned well in advance). After reading the avy reports decided it was good to let the snowpack settle and not rush a trip. Sadly, I don’t think too many will make this same descion; especially with the limited snow we’ve seen thus far this year (including vale/Mcbride in that comment).

I hope everyone comes home at the end of this weekend.

Ok what do you call it when it's actually extreme? Super duper extreme? Was the deaths skiers? I don't recall any Sledder's caught. Thank you for the warning. Any suggestions for the guys that are riding?
