Thanks to Revbyu for posting those previous pics, he was one of the Magnificent 7 that rode yesterday up in the Owl's region! The pictures aren't real though as there was no snow, I repeat, zero snow up top. Terrible conditions, everyone stay away, its for your own safety!!
I did manage a few pictures yesterday, Lawn Dart took the award for having the most difficulty in traversing snowy areas. His best stunt was when he was going down a steep bank into a ditch and his sled came to an abrupt stop. His full stretch reverse over the handbars flip was spectacular, a perfect 10, and he stuck landing in front of his sled! I could even read his boot size as he careened up and over the hood, absolutely wonderful! We all had our turns somewhere yesterday, Billdozer finding a tree in the middle of no where, me posing for a wilderness moment, and even the youngens getting rolled over in the middle of nowhere, a spectacular day! Great to meet the new guys, I know you can't read this Don (blind you know!) and I hope you get those glasses you really need!!!!!!!

Great weekend up at Owlhead playing mostly untouched pow away from the crowd! Trail was fantastic up and down both days so thanks to Sled Sicamous for the excellent job there! Blue bird days are going to change things as freezing levels rise above the peaks. Some snow ghosts were starting to fall off and snow settling now. Keep safety in mind and heads up as conditions will be changing and with all that snowpack if stuff happens it will likely be big. Cheers, Holio

We rode untouched all weekend. Pow shots were great. Lots of riding left.

Sorry to hear. Always a helpful group of people. One less mom and pop shop. Sad to see. Good luck to all the Alpine people in their future endeavours.

Didn't get any pics, but was better than I thought it would be, North faces where 1 to 2 feet fresh, good base below

Was easy to get face shots lol
