Parking at 3 k junction at Boulder now and up at 4 k lot on the Kirkup.
Streeter St. the Boulder/Frisby connector trail is closed and bare. The W entrance Peaks side has extensive stretches of bare gravel and is no longer being groomed.
Ten ft. of snow at cabin. Some fresh Sun.-Mon. supposed to be snow in the forecast starting tonight.

You bet it was tracked.

conditions & Avy conditions
was up in revy this weekend, snow was ok, fairly heavy and sticky. not real soft for jumps. the popluar areas are pretty tracked up.
We dug a pit and found three shear layers 30cm, 60cm & 130cm. note that they all broke quite easily. There was 2.6m of snow at our dig location on a south east aspect. Spoke to a local who was in a slide in the trees where we never thought one would occur, it buried a guy up to his neck and was over two meters deep. the hill was not tall!!! be carefull out there..

Last wknd. we staged from the till pit at Frisby, trail is holding up pretty good.
At Boulder we made it about up about 5 1/2 km. on the Kirkup, should be able to make it to the 6km. parking area by this wknd.
Snow is like a slurpee in the aft.

We unloaded on Kirkup right beside the Turtle turn-off. Snow was soft but was in excellent condition. On Sunday it actually was snowing a little too hard to get out of the trees. About 6 inches fresh at best but such an easy drive from Calgary this time of year and the truck didn't even hardle get dirty. Overall well worth the trip.
I will post a You-tube link shortly of my kid on the Turbo M-6 riding on Saturday around Super Bowl.
