anyone have updates on trail conditions at atlas we are heading there on 13th-15

[Maclintock]

Was their a week ago Sunday and it is brutal!!!!!!! We have not had any snow their since then. The sledding in the pass is really crappy ( Need 5 feet plus at least w/o wind for a few days to get it packed down. The corbin area has more snow , but talked to a couple guys who went out this weekend to Barnes and said it sucked.
Off to revy tommorrow for 4 days as I would head their or Golden if I were you, because we were their on Fri/Sat ( and it was awesome.)
Also I here that Valemount and Mcbride are even better from friends in Edmonton.
Their is no snow in the long range forcast for the pass at least until Sat (Flurries).

was down at the beacon find with amber wood on saturday

they are logging along the road so the trail in has some rough spots
(staged at atlas) but once we got by that there was a decent amount of snow ...
but same as everywhere else we could use a couple of good dumps to make it real good

hope this helps ya

Sat: rode to the plane crash and york creek - trails in good shape but so very little snow!

Sun: Rode corbin - same deal good trails but they need a pile of snow for it to be fun. I've never seen so little snow up there! Got into rain guage and played in the trees a bit. A couple boys put on a crash-up derby show for a while on a cornice then we went home.

Looked at the road in to Alexander - NO snow at the bottom so we didn't go up.

Good luck,
Pistonbroke

How do you get in to the plane crash site and where is the staging area for that looking to go for a nice ride this thursday or over the weekend

[Maclintock]

York staging area behind Coleman. Just follow the signs into lower Coleman ( Bushtown) Just follow the road South from the staging area, and keep going right when you cross the bridge. Just follow that going right.

None whatsoever...... We have not had snow in a big accumulation of over 10 centimeters since Friday January 9th and Corbin has not had any in accumulations of over 10 centimeters since Wednesday Jan 14th. ( acouple centimeters here and their) I am going out to test some mods on my sled tommorrow, and will let you know if it is icy or what. I think we will go York and then back to the cabin and maybe Lost. (ON THE TRAILS)

had a couple buddies in revy and Golden last th,fr.sa,su,mo and they said it was great.

They are calling for Flurries Thursday, Sunday and Snow on Monday here, but I will believe it when I see it. Man I sure hope so as it has really been bad this season , and if we do not get 4-5 feet by the end of February to at least base it up, we will be hooped.
