sledding was fantastic with most days having decent visibility. The 22nd was blue bird with the remaining days being overcast. Our family of four took back two different unfamiliar groups through the fog into the back end of Frisby Ridge where it was clear to ride. Lots of untouched powder if you were willing to head back 14 to 16 km. Had about 10 inches fresh on the 24th which added to a nice base. Had the mountain to ourselves alomost every day, especially Christmas Eve and Boxing Day..met some good folk and look forward to the next Revy trip. Stayed at the Hillcrest Resort..more sledders than skiers but a real nice spot. Snowed big when we left...see Revy again late January..!!

Good pictures and update... Sounds like it was a good trip. Any carnage?

Hey hope you had a great trip, the snow after you left i hate to say was almost tooo deep. Let me know what days in Jan you are planning to go? Is it a family trip or just the guys? We are heading up at the end of Jan too. Its hard sitting here trying to plan the next trip and on the tv is the devastation in sparwood. Anyways let me know what days you are heading back and maybe we can arrange the same days.
