Had a great day of riding at Allen today. Avalanche Alley was given a name for a reason. Seen a lot of uneducated riders today. One guy buried, sled ended up in the creek. Very lucky to be alive tonight.

Had not slid when we went to premier and on the way back chatted to the girl spotting for further activity while group was still at the bottom.

Every year
Good thing they all walked away.

Also saw a small slide about half way back to cabin.
Did not go to close but looked fresh, stability issues.
Stayes in the bush, SW bottom corner of Premier.
3 of us and about 6 others with one sled I believe with mech issues

Snow decent and not overly tracked.
12-18" depending on face.
Roads actually get better the further from edmonton.

Rode Oasis on Thursday. Whooped the entire way to the Alpine. Wind swept pussy filter and endless pow for those who dare to drop in��

Something to be said about carrying a spare Dess in your pack if that's all it was.
That’s all it was. We helped him get his sled out of the creek. Dragged it all the way to the top so the chopper could pick it up. Tried 4 other g4 dess keys, sled would run but wouldn’t drive.

Rode Allan yesterday. Found some good lines off the beaten path, but I was surprised how tracked it was for only 3-4 days after fresh snow. Rode Climina today for 3/4 day. Rode within 5 minutes of the cabin all day and found bumper deep snow.

Was about 3/4" on the deck when we came down at 230, still snowing in town
