Snow Report: Jan 20/11 Alexander Area







-5 when the guys left this morning to ride and they decided to ride out on our trail and around to the Alexander area. They were looking for Racehorse but never really found it and played in huge cut blocks and trees and said it was fantastic! Foot of fresh snow without the serious melt we had at our house and south of us. They were only about 12 miles from our place and said the ride in was 1/4 as rough as riding the Flathead - very bearable. Trails were a bit hard down low but the snow above 6000ft was in great shape. Trees were "awesome" and they stayed away from the big climbs. They said they would not be able to tell you exactly where they went or how to get there. Just let the snow and openings lead you wherever and you will have a good time.
Heard that the winds are so strong that you cannot see the road and semi trucks in the ditch everywhere between Lethbridge and Cowley and that they closed the road at Pincher. Winds pretty strong up in the Pass - up top in alpine it would be nasty wind I think.
Crow Snow Riders Poker Derby Jan 28 & 29th and their Snow Drags Feb 26th - plan for them now! Cheers-V
