Too early yet. Check the ski Hill cams. Some snow up high but nothing down low.

With that forecast if freezing level is low, that's a ton of snow. Any pics from Blue?

Okay. Back on topic. I will be heading up to blue this weekend to check things out since I heard dudes were riding groundhog last weekend and it was "DEEEEP" up top.

My buddies and I are interested in trying Blue River this year. Does anybody have any maps of the staging areas and riding areas they would like to share?

Pouring rain up to 1800m. Alpine access is diminished. We drove up groundhog and hit the snow. Rode for 5 km and snow thinned out to nothing... I am assuming the pouring rain from all this week and today killed the snow that was around... still needs another couple of weeks boys. Thought I'd give you an update
