going up this weekend. totally unfamiliar. best carving runs? pow runs if they get snow as predicted? fun beginner terrain for the kid? need to maximize efficiency; juggling kids.

thanks!

ended up being a great couple days. the drive up there sucked; freezing rain up the valley and blizzard on the 97 to kelowna. the storming made for some great pow turns the next am, though. the next morning the clouds parted (a rarity up there, evidently), and i had some great carving runs on pristine cord. there was a refreshing lack of crowds, and the ability to open up on the kessler 174 a bit. amazing what you can do on grippy fresh groom. the prior atv was super fun as well - a bit more playful & poppy, operating best at more casual speeds, but carved better than i expected it to in addition to being great in the soft stuff.
