Top photo is Heartbreak - lots of riders have been in there but there is still great spring riding to be had.Blair, Robert and Ashley rode with us to Barnes, up Limestone to get stuck in the trees, big climbs, fast decents and jumping off the edge. We went down the backside to Fire Lake for a fire and then out onto the Flathead to Heartbreak. The Flathead is actually in fair condition. Terry and George must have groomed a little while ago because it isn't 4ft moguls - its washboards in the corners but overall it was not bad. The trails to the alpine are rough - price you pay. First 4km of Flathead is getting slushy but there is still snow covering the road all the way.
Note: check avalanche conditions at www.avalanche.ca /bulletins/south rockies before you go. Take a course to recognize risks and make informed decisions and wear beacons and carry the necessary equipment to dig out a buddy and know how to use all of the resources. Cheers!
