Was up today started snowing heavy,live by the main parking lot as of 8 pm we have about 7 inches of fresh at the house and snowing very hard should be deep sat and sunday.search and rescue were heading up tonight for a lost sledder from vernon,apperently went up on his own mid afternoon,hopefully all ends well
Anybody hear if the guy was found yet?
didnt hear anything about that today- but was up there and had crazy amounts of fresh powder- everything is starting to get covered nicely on the hunters side. Didnt make it to the alpine today cause too much snow.

ohh man all we need is a base just above the stumps and rocks and 2 feet of powder... that would be a miracle considering we are heading up in the morning.... only like 8 hours until we pull out. we are going to our cabin on the shuswap. pm me if ur interested in going to crowfoot for a day as i will be going i wouldnt mind showing someone around...

Sad to say there was a major slide up the laforge side and one young guy didnt make it this past sunday
yeah- that was by windy ridge was it not? That hits just too close to home. I have been riding hunters main to stay away from hills but wouldn't mind checking out king fisher if the snow is steady enough on the first few sets of hills
We were up there today.had really crappy visibility due to low cloud all day....lots of stuff is starting to slide.WHile we were having lunch on the trail before the last few meadows we heard one of the loudest CRACKS ive ever heard in the backcountry followed by a huge slide ....sounded like something big came down around Super Bowl//// Be careful out there everyone
We rode Hunters yesterday. Had a great ride.
Sunny and warm with spring like hero snow.
We were trying to get over to Mara ,but the trail hasnt been opened up yet and it takes you through some sketchy areas , so it was a no go .
The groomer has been all the way back to the Gordon/Sydney cabin.
They do a great job on their trails!
