Feb 14/13 - Yesterday in Heartbreak

Christophe, Luc, Curt, Christophe and I went up into Heartbreak yesterday. Flathead had one groom on it and it was wonderful! Heartbreak snow is very well consolidated with 2-4 inches of fresh on top. The back part of the bowl is showing rocks so we just played on the big drifts jumping off and climbing up those for hours - landings were soft. We climbed up through trees over and over practicing new lines and squeeeezzzing between them where ever we could. Was a very good day and the guys worked alot on their side hilling. Everyone was very tired and enjoyed the day and the smooth ride out on the trail. Our trail is still in pretty good shape. Curt going to groom it again tomorrow. There isn't powder anywhere but we were making fresh tracks everywhere and there was more than enough to get stuck or sink in to make a carving turn to get out of a tight spot. Corbin Vintage poker derby Sat, regular on Sunday, Crow Snow Riders having a ride on Sat too. I believe Fernie Club having a Thunderstruck Premier - check their website. Next weekend is Elkford - The Betties - Take a Newbie Shredding Poker Derby and also Cranbrook Poker Derby. No shortage of riding fun to be had! No new snow in the past 24hrs but temps are holding. Has been a bit windy but today that settled down. Cheers and Happy Valentines Day - wish I got snow for a present that day like we did last year....V
