I rode Etherington on the weekend. Thin hard pack in any open areas with lots of grass showing through. Some of the trails were still in ridable shape. We rode loggers which was smooth. There was an inch of fresh on Sunday. With the warm weather this week I would think there will be lots of exposed sections out there next weekend.
Heard what sounded like a big avy while we were out there...be careful if you are headed over the pass into BC!
last time i did that, we got up and over, and there was NO snow in elkford, people looked at us like we were idiots when we pulled up to the gas station, then they saw were were from alberta and it all kinda made sense.
