Hey Everybody.....WOW....

My Heart really goes out to that Family & Friends....

I am NOT Sure what Exactly Happened....( How it was Triggered ) ??

I guess more Details to follow in the Coming Days.....

Robin was Out Playing in the Mountains with a Couple of Different Groups They Played ALL Day !

Robin says Hey NO PROBLEM in the Mountains You just REALLY Have to be " AWARE "

AT ALL TIMES !

There are lots of Trails and Meadows to Play in....

Robin Forgot the Camera ( Lovely )....

He is Heading back out to Play again Tomorrow !

I will make Sure He has the Camera !

Robin said once You get Above the Valley Fog .....

Ahhhhh ...... B E A U T I F U L !

Bright BLUE Sky's Nothing but SUNSHINE ALL DAY !

Yahooooooo !!

Don't Let the Call of that Adrenaline High Mark or ALPINE get to You....

MOTHER NATURE Will WIN !

Hey a Week or so and Things " Should " get Better....

Robin said because of the Sunshine today it Really Set the Snow Up Awesome !

The " Arm Pit Deep " Powder has Settled out for now....

As soon as We can find " ULAR " We can get back to Business of what We are known for.....

" Champagne Powder " and the Rush of " STEEP & DEEP ".....

There is a Time and Place for Everything....

Respect the Updates and Conditions !!

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER !! It is Essential to have a Avalanche Course under Your Belt with ALOT of Beacon Training !

IT IS ABSOLUTLEY SAFE TO PLAY IN THE MOUNTAINS !!! 100 % !! SAFE !!

When You have done Everything Right .....You will Return Safe !

If it is " Your " time ......then it is " Your " time....No matter what You are doing....

When in doubt.....take a Local Guide that has YEARS of Experience with the Different Areas with You. ( MY OPINION ONLY )

Snowmobiling is a AWESOME Sport !Please Play Safe and ALWAYS Check Conditions before Heading into the Bcakcountry !

Stay Safe out there !Stay Tuned for more Updates & News....

 

[BLUE JEWEL]

CTV News from Calgary Repoted that...

It was a Group of 7 Snowmobilers a Avalanche Buried 2 ...

Only 1 Survived !....That's all for now.


Waaaaaay to Many Young People are being called for Angel Duty...

You MUST ARM Yourself with " KNOWLEDGE "..AS Much as You can !

KNOWLEDGE... will give You the POWER... to Play SAFE in the Mountains !

If You don't know....TAKE A GUIDE... or DON'T GO !! ( MY OPINION ONLY )

NEVER UNDER ESTIMATE " MOTHER NATURE " ! Two word's for Her.....

" POWERFUL " & " UNFORGIVING ".....

Stay Tuned for more Updates....

 

[BLUE JEWEL]

Oh Ya....

Don't forget to Pack Your " FEAR " & " COMMON SENCE "

Before Heading Up the Mountain !

sorry for the Nagging ....but I am a Grandmother , Mother , Sister , Aunt & A Friend

I am a WOMEN....( It is My Job )....to Lecture....or Shall We call it Give " ADVICE ".

 

[BLUE JEWEL]

Helloooo.....Everybody....

What a SAD ...SAD...Story....

I see that They were Playing on the " HILLCLIMB " Part of Climina where They Used to do the Hillclimbs....

Alady from McBride says it was a " Obvious " Avalanche Danger Place to be....

I don't UNDERSTAND Why People would be Hillclimbing in these Conditions !!

This is where " Common Sence " is NEEDED !! HOLY SMOKE !

I am sooooooooooo SAD for the Family !!

I am also soooooooo sad for that Group that made the " Fatal " Mistake of Hillclimbing ! YIKES !!!!!!!!

Please EVERYBODY....

The Mountains are SAFE TO PLAY IN .....

Just need to know where to GO and where NOT TO GO !

Get some Solid Local Info. and " KNOW Before You GO " ....SIMPLE !

The Conditions are going to Change soon ....

NO Need to Cancel Your Sled Trip's this Season !

Just " KNOW " before You " GO " .....

OR.......... Take a Guide that is Certified for AVALANCHE ! ( MY OPINION ONLY ) !

Ok.....

Current Conditions in Blue River @ 10:30am High of -3.4C.

A Thick Layer of FOG is just Above Us I can see around Town ....

NO Mountain Tops though....

Soooo again We have a " Inversion " going on Up there !

So You just have to go Up the Trail a little ways and You will be in BRIGHT SUSHINE !

They are saying Temp's. Above the FOG Could reach + 4 C. .....Careful out there !

I see that Sunday and Monday the Forecast has Already Changed....

From HIGH to CONSIDERABLE ! At Treeline & Below Treeline For Sunday & Monday !

Soooo the Forecast will be Changing again after this Weekend as the Snow will have CALMED DOWN ! I Hope....

Robin said that Riding Yesterday was like Riding in Spring Time Conditions !

Go Anywhere Snow....BUT They Resisted the BAD AREAS....

SOOOOO You can Play Safe and have a TON OF FUN !

Yahoooooo Mountain BLUE !
