Last year I think Curtis took those. The runs would likely need a lot more snow judging by what I saw last weekend sledding. But I haven't physically been up there. A lot of the runs the trees are fallen and then left laying flat. Need good snow to cover

Hey wooleybulley, make sure you give us an update if you do go in please... If someone doesn't before that possibly. And some pics! Haha

Sorry folks, i have yet to make it up this year. Some locals have ripped it up and said the upper 75% of the runs are sick, but the lowers are a bit skinny still. We put a lot of work into the access road this year, so I hope you all enjoy it. Please share your pics and experiences here.

This is a completely unique area, so we are learing as we go, we will be happy to take any constructive suggestions for improvements

Here is a little vid from last year

Was up this week & took a rip up crystal ridge on Tuesday with the GF cause we were just doubling, didn't do any boarding but defiantly enough now, trail in good shape other then lower elevations in the valley which is expected with low snow.

Thanks for the pics ASSAULTrmk!

Went up to Crystal Ridge on Saturday Jan 4. Snowmobile trail is in good shape although there are a few sections that are starting to get "whoops" developing. Snowpack was about 75cm at the turn to go up to the ridge (approx 4500 feet) and about 125 cm at the top (approx 6500 feet). This is typical of the snowpack right now in all the mountains immediately west of Valemount, including upper Westridge. Only skied the top half or so of the runs. Supportive base with about 30cm of new-ish snow on top of most of the existing tracks made for good ski conditions.

Anyone been up there lately, any pics?
