Oh it'll be running.........I just hope it'll be running good this time!!!!!!
I rode Boulder the 29th, 30th, and 31st. We rode mostly to the south side off the beaten trail before dropping into Super bowl(first bowl after alberta hill ?) It was over a meter deep, some of the best tree riding I have ever done, did not even get 40 miles to a tank of fuel either day....
Best vacation ever.....
I will say though, that if you went up high you could not see your hand in front of your face, but down low was epic.

We rode Friday, Saturday and Sunday, fresh snow each day. Friday at Turtle with a foot of fresh. Saturday on Boulder, four inch's more fresh, some wind swept on top, the corridor through to the Sugar Bowl was packed, but the fringes were all POW... We couldn't resist the beautifully groomed trail, so we went back to Boulder for more POW on Sunday.
Woke up to six inchs of new fresh in town this morning, it kept snowing hard all morning, by 1300hrs it was turning to light rain, pretty slushy around town this evening. Laird is up right now, I'll get the scoop when he gets home and try to remember to let you know what's happening up top.
At this point, I think it it pretty safe to assume it is dumping huge in the alpine, ....the lower trail may take it hard over the next few days of this "pinapple express" though....

I know I'm looking hard at all the forecasts just because I only get a couple cracks at revy and would like to be able to see somewhat Its a crap shoot at this point from what I can see.

Good morning all, I talked to Triple Black when he got in from riding last night, he said there was 1.5 feet of fresh heavy snow up top, ..it was still snowing then of course. It is raining in town this morning, and did so most of the night, should be lots of new above 2000 metres, but getting very soggy at low elevations. Very wet in town....

Rode boulder Fri, Sat, Sun it was tracked up in the main areas, but found lots of spots in the trees that were amazing waist deep pow. It went on for mile, miles and miles of this enough that we played there for 2days and there was still more..... The pole at the cabin said 9.5 feet, trails were good grooming them and it was snowing heavy Monday morning when we left for home. We left at 4am and there was already a foot at least in town and still snowing heavy. Well that is about all i will try and get pics up
Good long term weather site for Canada?
What website do you guys use for good long term forecasts? The more detailed the better!
Thanks

I live in Revelstoke and the best that matches the weather the closest is environment canada's website.
http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/city/pages/bc-65_metric_e.html
the second best is the weather network
http://www.theweathernetwork.com/weather/cabc0247?ref=topnav_weather_savedcity
and for avalanche conditions
www.avalanche.ca
right now the conditions for avalanche are pretty sketchy. It is not very often that things are in the HIGH/HIGH/HIGH rating.
cheers and stay safe.
