Cabin bowl is a long way from FAR. There are 4 bowls in between FAR and Cabin bowl. From the resort north: Fish Bowl,Liverwurst pass, Big Steep Mother, Orca Bowl and then Cabin. Cabin bowl is at the upper Island Lake parking lot, just before you start climbing the switchbacks below the lodge...

Slide was in Cabin Bowl,just down the valley from Island Lake Lodge. Size 4 massive!

I heard a 3.5 natural and heard it took out mature cedar trees and traveled up the other side of the valley. I'm thinking maybe in between the ski hill and Island Lake. I've been glassing the Lizard range, but it's kinda fogged in so can't really see anything.

Good video. I think this slope is quite a bit steeper than you think. I would estimate where it fractured it was getting close to 40° and it looks live a fairly significant convexity (roll over) just above where the guy got stuck. There are no,(or very few) mature coniferous trees on that...

The crying will continue until these a$$holes start respecting the SRM land use plan. I posted pictures of the signs that were put up on feb 26, they were torn down the next weekend. So the bullsh!t line that they didn't know it was a closed area no longer holds any water. By the way the...

A couple of signs have now been put up around the bottom of thunder gully and easy street. Hopefully they will help to prevent this kind of thing in the future.

Not looking to start an argument but weather 'the individual that was in there, he honestly believed it was still open as it was a couple of years ago, the last time he was there.' or not is no excuse. I hunt every fall as you probably do too devildog, being as we are both long time valley...

Red Mt what we have around here there are a few areas that are designated as non motorized, ie. cat skiing tenures, ski touring tenures such as thunder meadows. Right adjacent to thunder meadows is a cat skiing operation called Island lake. Island lake actually owns the land they operate on...

Here are some more pics....if you know these guys 'educate' them. These guys know damn well they shouldn't be there. We are blessed here in the Kootenays to have a winter playground that is big enough for everyone. There is no need for this! These guys just want to raise chit I...

This area is closed for motorized travel till march 15 and then it is only to be used as a corridor to access Sand Creek from the Island lake area. Thunder Meadows is a tenure held by the Fernie Trails and Ski Touring Club. The cabin is rented out on a daily basis for non motorized recreation...

We went snowshoeing in the Harvey pass/ McLatchie area. There was about 1.5 meter total snowpack. 60 to 80 cm of storm snow (soft slab) sitting on top of the late december rain crust. Lots of depth hoar on this crust especially at and below treeline and on north aspects. Lots of settling...

Also Fish bowl is huge avalanche terrain with a huge head wall at the bottom you'd have to climb. Below the head wall it is always littered with huge avi debris.
