[HANDSOME]

Good to hear, it was nice to meet you guys as well, hoping to get out friday.

How is beaver creek right now? How much snow? And how stable is it? Possibly heading out this next week or next weekend. But only if the snow pack is safe. Bring in a bunch of first time mountain riders so I'm not taking chances since I'm responsible for them. Any body help me out?

 

[WITHERS]

would not recommend beaver but hasler or tumbler might be a better place if u r babysittin

You mean because of slides right now? I haven't ever been to either of those places. Only ever been to beaver, twice, and bull moose once. Heard quite a bit about hasler though. Is it fairly easy to find your way around?

Anyone out over the weekend? Thinking about a trip Thursday/Friday/Saturday.

pk was great yesterday. 6 to12 inches of fresh. Had to stay off the bigger slopes, things were really sliding!

 

[SLEDIOT]

Im thinkin we all need to use some extra caution right now fellas. Its been snowin non-stop since yesterday here in Dawson. I can only imagine what kind of snowload is on evry single slope that we climb out there right now. We just had 6 weeks of warm weather that made a serious thick crst t pile lots of pow on. So please be safe fellas.

 

[torqmonster]

Thanks for the heads up Slediot. Maybe Silver Sands may be the place to go?

Cool let us know how the snow pack is. We canceled going to beaver for now. Just doesn't look or sound stable enough. How does a guy find silver sands? Where is the staging area?

 

[torqmonster]

You can park at Mt. Solitude, drive across the highway and follow the trail. The trail will go on for a few km's, turn off and follow a bush trail for a bit and the trail will take your into some awesome meadows and lakes.

Powderking certainly doesn't show much for recent snow. I was out by Tumbler yesterday while it was snowing hard in Dodge and nothing in TR.

 

[torqmonster]

Another 21 cm in Powder King. Aprox. 60 cm in the last two weeks! Were headed out tomorrow to Silver Sands if anyone is interested.

 

[HANDSOME]

I see that they got 21 cm the other night but my kids were there last saturday and there was only 3" of fresh. Going to hasler saturday Torque if you decide to change plans.

A pile of guys headin to Beaver tommorow. Avy conditions are considerable according to the report.

 

[torqmonster]

Rode Calazon on Thursday, great spring conditions and safe to ride. Lots of opens meadows and a few good climbs.

 

[600xc4me]

What website do you guys use to check for avy conditions? I looked around and found one, but it's hard to understand what they are trying to say.

Where is Calazon? Never heard of it?

 

[torqmonster]

Calazon is a few km's(10- 15km?) west of the Mt. Solitude turn off. You turn right off the highway and follow a road across a bridge. There is a decent staging area to park and unload. Follow the road until km 7 and turn right and follow the trail. You can also follow the road to km 17 and turn left and follow the trial. I've only been there once, decent area to meadow blast and do a little climbing.
