Shawn, Russ, Greg and Cooper rode from here on the Timbersleds and Roger's crew trailered around to Corbin and they said the Flathead was rough but not unbearable like I thought last week. Softening up. Its +5 and just started spitting again tonight. Below 6000ft it is slushy, soft and wet but above that the guys said the snow was heavy and wet but still really deep (up to their waist in spots and bottomless and about a foot and a half of untouched) and a bunch of it was untouched. They said the trail into Barnes wasn't that bad and that Limestone was unridden. Only these two crews and a couple other sleds were in there today. They loved it and said they had a great day. Roger said there was lots of natural avalanches coming down in Barnes and that they could hear constant whumpfing in Limestone later in the day so they called it quits. Be wary - slabs will be so heavy they will let loose and the consequences of even a shallow start would be huge by the time it stopped especially if you are in any kind of terrain trap. Try shoveling this stuff! Curt and Terry worked on the groomer and got it fixed. They took it down the trail to make sure it was working and to try to knock a few tops down but it was only rolling small volkswagen car sized snowballs off to the side so they quit. Curt said the lot had a lot of vehicles in it staging. Will let you know how the other bikes found Fernie staging to be today when they get back. Rhonda Down from The Betties is here tomorrow to ride. No stopping the hard core riders! Cheers - V
