RESTRICTIONS IN PLACE ON FRISBY, KEYSTONE AND CARIBOU BASIN GO INTO EFFECT, MIDNIGHT, DEC.31, 2010.
THIS MEANS THE RESTRICTED AREAS ON THOSE MOUNTAINS ARE CLOSED TO SNOWMOBILING FROM JANUARY 1ST TO APRIL 15TH INCLUSIVE. THE NON-RESTRICTED AREAS REMAIN OPEN AS USUAL.
CARIBOU BASIN IS OPEN ONLY ON WEEKENDS, IT REMAINS CLOSED DURING THE WEEK.
AS OF TODAY THERE ARE NO FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS ON THE FURTHER CLOSURES GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN TRYING TO IMPLEMENT.
ONCE AGAIN WE ASK FOR YOUR COOPERATION IN RESPECTING THE CLOSED AREAS. THIS YEAR MORE THAN EVER, IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT WE SHOW GOVERNMENT THAT WE CAN MANAGE OUR AREAS, BUT THAT CAN ONLY BE DONE WITH YOUR FULL COOPERATION.
THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT

Traveling from Montana/Wyoming
Four of us are making a trip to Revelstoke at the end of January. Its all of our first trip to Revelstoke/Canada sledding. We've booked our rooms and passports completed. A few things we need help on.
1. Can we count on good snow at the end of Jan in Revy?
2. Would you recommend a guide for the first day or so?
3. The resort hired out guides are really expensive. Are there any local private guides available? Or just people that could show us the way?
4. Explain the 'cabins' a bit more. With comments above they appear to be more than a warming cabin? Is there food available or do we need to bring it in?
Help would be appreciated!

This is just my opinion.
1) yes, there will be a ton of snow, it's the quality of snow that's a crap shoot. I have been there in the first week of Feb and been in waist deep dry powder in the sun and the next year its socked in for a week straight but even that is good.
2) YES!!! not just for a day or two (unless you ride Boulder every day), you're in a foreign country, in new terrain, people die there every year, and almost none of them are locals.
3) totally and yes, there are lots of local "leaders" in the area that work pretty cheap, the trick is to find one that can read your groups skill level accurately enough not to bore the good riders and not terrify the newby's.
4) the cabins are just that, cabins. No food, no water, there is fire wood in most. If someone starts a fire it can be a nice place to regroup at and have lunch, alot of them have sign in / out sheets in them, use them! I have heard stories of guys blowing off the signing out portion of the job and causing alot of trouble for the local SAR group.
The long and short of it is that Revy is probably the best mountain sledding in the world. On the good days, it's life changing!! and on the crappy days its still pretty damn good.
Have fun, and roll with what ever the weather throws at you.
