you guys forgot to mention one important issue for the the people coming up to revy next weekend, as I was there also to participate in the shovel fest. I witnessed several of these photo ops and a lot of them were pointing down hill!
it took me an hour and a half!!! i was in so far nobody could even see me! turned the apex around all by myself!!! A guy said to me as I was leaving peaks lodge "this weekend wasnt a vacation! It was a friggen Marathon!!!" I had to agree
that one stuck is nasty man, I think we were talking to you in the cabin near the end of the day.....
Anyone know how deep the snow was? Looks like real deap:d:d:d

The tell you that it snowed really hard in Revy the last few days would be an understatement. Our BowCycle demo crew of 6 spent Saturday riding @ Frisby ridge, the visibility was horrible but the snow was DEEP. The clouds were so socked in that everybody was forced to head into the tree's, as you could not see 10 feet infront of your sled. Riding near treeline was impossible, as you could not tell what was up or down. In all reality if you stopped moving were there were no other previous tracks this year you were stuck, there was no bottom to the snow pack, in most spots I would say its at least 6 feet deep, but perhaps deeper.
On Sunday we rode Boulder Mtn for a change of venue, it snowed 30 cm overnight, so we got even more stuck on Sunday than on Saturday. The honeyholes behind the old cabin in the trees were almost too deep, after a 2 hour "mega stuckfest", we finally got the group out and climed up Alberta hill. We rode around for the afternoon in the tree's in that area, we had a blast but got stuck more times than I wish to talk about. A quick glance around and you could see all kinds of groups of riders stuck, Doo's, Poo's, Cat's, Boosted Yammies, everybody was shovelling all day long. Quotes I overheard in the warm up cabin from many riders was " most I've ever been stuck and most I've ever used my shovel."
Revelstoke, sometimes it snows there....
Stock blows hey?
Average of about 6 feet deep with no real base. If you were standing up in it, it was about nipple deep and scary to get out of at times as it seemed like you couldn't get a foothold to lift yourself out of it and squirming only buried you deeper...
Hey,hey,Dude, even turbo's were stuck !!
Just further out, and alone to shovel, 'cause we c'ant get there, HA,HA,HA
freak that old wedge would be divin so far under the snow there would be rainbows in hell
