We parked at 13 kms up (last little parking area) on Friday and Sat.

Snow starts a long way up and the trails dont start getting solidly snowy until km 15, with gravel/slush mix prior to this. Prepare to dirtbike your sled on some of it for sure.

Alpine itself is still decent, plenty of snow. Base is hard, softening with the sun with some fresh up top, a couple of inches. It snowed quite a bit on Friday, opening up later in the day. We were the first in Friday, running into awesome dudes Mike and Neil later on. Got sunburnt riding Saturday, bluebird!

Hung out with awesome people (Yanik and friends) on Sat doing sweet jumps and tricks. Jordan can jump his rev, the padawan progresses. Hopefully the alpine snow continues as its rain and thunder down in the valley. Pics to come.

Special thanks to everyone for an awesome final weekend.
