Sofa? Can you take a picuture (before and after) like you did eariler in the year of that same spot. It would be a very interesting pic now

we,re looking at coming up to revy on the 23rd. but a few of the guys are a little skeptical due to the conditions. we usually go up to blue river or carribou. anyone know how these areas are?

 

[ouellette]

I don't know about blue river, but I'd stay away from Caribou right now. Lots of medows in there, but lots of potential for big avalanches on normal conditions let alone now.

and how about frisbey and boulder?

They are both moderate I believe. The Sugar Bowl came down on Friday while we were in there, right down to the rocks...that was the only slide we saw in 120kms. We torched every area in Boulder that day. Awesome BlueBird day...Needs new snow before we go back because there were a lot of tracks in there by the end of the weekend.

I dont remember the last time I have seen boulder that packed. Tracks as far as the eye could see!

Most where staying off the big stuff.
