Thanks,
Ryan

Weather network is calling for a little snow in town. I was there 2 weeks ago and we got 4-5 inches in town and we found 3 feet towards turbo, anything can happen in Revy.

I was into turtle on Sunday... there was one huge avy that had already fallen.... probalby the one mentioned above and there was a second huge avy that fell in the same area... just across the flats from the first one... both avys ran out into the flats a fair ways. I would reccomend staying away from turtle.... almost every bowl we dropped into there was an avy or a small slide that we saw come down or has already come down but still fresh. snow is just to heavy.... both avy's were natural breaks that we saw that day.

Raised in Revy.Live west of Innisfail.
We rode Caribou on Sat.There was 2 to 3 feet of fresh pow in the alpine.Lots of snow load on the peaks.Rode Turtle on Sun.Weather was warm and Avies are coming down.There was one that was 1 to 2 days old that hit the lake just before pebble beach and dropped the ice level down about 3 to 4 feet.Later on in the day a avalanche came down from the opposite side of the lake.Take care out there.My thoughts are with the famillies of the avie victims.

Me too!!!
There is over 11 ft. of snow at the cabin. On Wed. there was well over a ft. of fresh. Supposed to get some snow today. You are still riding from the lots. Bottom 3 km. at Boulder are slush by the afternoon. Frisby is in better shape. Streeter St. (connector trail from Boulder to Frisby) isn`t being groomed any more, some bare spots but still rideable.
