Most of the slide paths have let go already, the first one ran huge right to the creek. Probably about 25ft deep in spots. There are two for sure that haven't come down yet and there is highmarks on both, some guys just don't get it.

I don't get people sometimes. It's one thing on an unsuspecting face that just happens to let go but in a actual shoot with a crap ton of snow just makes me shake my head.

We were in there in February and seen some stupid peeps pullin stupid lines on slopes that should be a no go. You would think that this day in age people would get it. We stopped to talk to a group that were there 2 days in a row an the one guy was proud of the avy he set of and asked if we had seen it(south facing open slope) . Bragging about it while swilling pilsner and then said he had been riding in there for 20 years. His number will get called eventually. (dude from Radium)

His number will get called eventually. It's totally true. What ticks me off tho is everyone else who gets put in danger trying to rescue those guys.

Went in here on April 6. Visibility was very poor but was a couple little slides that came down at the waterfall, and south side of tailings ponds while we were in riding. We were forced to play in the trees everywhere we could. Coming back out the valley by the glacier was the worst whiteout we have ever been in! Still put on 145km. Looking forward to maybe getting in again on a bluebird to rip around the alpine and hit some jumps.

Not sure if I am coming out this weekend or not, but it will be the usual suspects if I do. Missed a good ride into Zippermouth Barry.
