Newb's to Crowsnest...

[DYSLEXIC]

and to mountain sledding - Polarice recommends Atlas staging, so that's where me and a buddy are headed for our first run. My other two buddies familiar with the area can't make it. I've got avy training + beacons + probes and the whole kabootle as does my friend......plan to stick to the trail and close to the trail when venturing off (bunje rattler still not here....dammit!)....would also like to know where to pick up trail passes!

Cheers.

Get trail passes at the Husky by the Subway in Blairmore. The east slopes are huge avy risk right now so please be very careful. Its tempting to pop some of the hills but there is not much holding them up right now and those eastern slopes only have a shale base, they slide big and right down to ground sometimes. Some good spots to play there, have fun and be safe.

I've heard about the pipeline in corbin as well. Any instructions on how to get there? We'll stay close in.

Well, just got the email from Avalanche.ca

Another High Avalanche Bulletin Issued. 4th week in a row. Pulling the plug and playing it safe.

Wise choice to stay home, hopefully others follow your example and we can make it through another weekend without a fatality. Atlas is your better bet for your first time out, corbin the trail can be very rough at times.

Zipped to cataract creek and practiced turning. Fresh snow! Not tons, but great considering where we went.
