you guys picked the perfect weekend to come out. the snow this weekend was hard as rock and hard to find fresh powder. it was realy cold out. but temp is warming up and there should be about 3ft or so of fresh for next weekend. Cant wait hope u guys have a good time. maybe i will see u guys out there.

Yep, that's the same range we ride here at home (4-7K) I don't have to touch a thing!

just wondring why you guys would be crazy enough to drive all that way to hit up revvy? i get tired of my 5hour drive there and back.

Because it's something I don't get to do on a regular basis... and the snow is so much fluffier than what we usually get to ride here in Wa.

[94fordguy]

This is gonna be good.

I just hope the roads to get there won't be too bad.

And on that note, as far as I can tell, HWY 1 from Sicamous to Revy is currently closed due to Avalanche risk

Is there a better site to tell specific road conditions better than these?

If all you 900 guys don't mind I would like too hook up with you all on your trip to Revy.
I do ride a Yamaha but I did own a Polaris once...lol
I do know the riding areas around Revy and would be more than happy to show you guys around.
I will keep reading this thread as we get closer to the ride and can meet you all there in Revy.
I was there last weekend and the conditions are excellent.
Here are a couple of pics from last weekend,not from Boulder though,these pics are from "Boulder"...lol

Good plan, see you there Dave.
