special message from CAC....

Do not take the stable weather pattern or slowly dropping hazards raitings

as a Invitation to step out into Steeper Terrain !!

The rate of Natural Avalanches may be falling...

But the snowpack is still unstable !!

Wide Deep Slab Avalanches are STILL POSSIBLE with direct Sun Warming

or.....Heavy Triggers !!!!!!!!

Helloooo.....

Blue River is enjoying some AWESOME SUNSHINE !!

Current Temp. @ 12:15pm -5.8C.

We went down to -13 C. Last night !

I know with Everything that is Happening it has made it pretty difficult to make the Decision to go Snowmobiling....

If You want to come Snowmobile and do HIGH MARKING ....NO WAY !

With the Recent Inversion the DEEP POWDER that We were enjoying has now..

" SET UP "....as You can see in the recent Pics that You see on this page and also on Page 52

Please check out the Pics that POW-WOW took over the Weekend...

They are AMAZING !

I hope that with this HOT Sunshine that the Back Country will do its " Natural " thing...

Mother Nature let Her do Her thing also....

We can Re-Visit going into the Alpine later on this Week...

I will be checking what the CAC is Reporting and I will get that info Up as soon as possible !

Please remember it is SAFE to Play ....

JUST KNOW ...BEFORE YOU GO !

NO ROOM FOR MSTAKE !

Stay Tuned for more Updates to come & Pics.

[BLUE JEWEL]

Hellooooo...From Blue River !!

Current Temp. @ 11:00am. is -8.5C. We have a Thick Layer of Fog going on right now...

But I also see the Sun trying real hard to Burn it off !

I hope the Sun Wins ! Oh Ya NO Problem...I just had another look and the Sun is Almost Shining !!

Avalanche Forecast for the Cariboo & Monashee Mountain Ranges....

They Both have the Same Avalanche Forecast...

Tuesday .....

Alpine.... CONSIDERABLE

Treeline.... CONSIDERABLE

Below Treeline.... MODERATE

Wednesday.....

ALPINE.... CONSIDERABLE

Treeline.... MODERATE

Below Treeline.... MODERATE

Thursday....

Alpine.... CONSIDERABLE

Treeline.... MODERATE

Below Treeline.... LOW

Primary Concerns....

Cornice...

Large and Droopy Cornices are likely to fail with continued Warm Temperatures and...

Solar Radiation Potentially Triggering Large Slab Avalanches on Slopes Below...

Wet Avalanches...

Wet Loose-Snow Avalanches are likely on STEEP Sun-Exposed Slopes although Mostly Slow & Small ....

They Could Trigger Large Slab Avalanches !

Persistent Slab....

Persistent Slab Avalanches are becoming Less likely but the Consequences Remain Extremely HIGH !

Please also go to Welcome to avalanche.ca

For Alot more Info.

I will Post again soon !

Ohhh the Sun just Popped out from the FOG !

Yahoooooooooo !! I LOVE Living in BLUE !

A HUGE THANK YOU !!

To ALL the Sledders that have been coming to Blue River !

If not for ALL of You We would probably be a Ghost Town....

We can't Thank You Guy's & Gal's for EVERYTHING !

Oh Ya ....There is a Dance this Friday ALSO !

Don't forget Your Dancing Slippers...LOL

Stay Tuned for more to come !....

 

[BLUE JEWEL]

With HIGHS of... -2 C. to -8 C.

With Lows of .... -11 C. to -13 C.

These are the NEW Updates !!

 

[Deasoninc]

Hey Patti!! Just a note to let ya know Brent was in the U of A until last night , it is a little more serious then first expected. But he will be OK , it is just going to take time. They where going to cut him open but decided he is young enough to try and let it heal naturally.
On a lighter note we had a great time and everything was perfect at the smoke!! I look forward to actually finishing a ride with Robin!!! See ya next time!!!!





PS .. Old Balls ..... that dude is hilarious!!!

 

[scotts]

Patti. how rough is the blueberry road up into paradice and the grail. i should be in town thursday morn.
