AND THE OFFICIAL SEASON ENDS…
Thank you everyone for such and amazing year! It was certainly challenging with the lower snow levels, chronically low temperatures, avalanche cycles and wind events. Despite all that we saw some amazing riding, some equally amazing photo’s on our social media accounts and trust that you all had a solid year in Blue River!
We would also like to thank everyone for doing their best to respect wildlife closures and park boundaries even while on the hunt for new snow. This respect certainly helped with our successful temporary opening of the Finger Bowls!
And finally a sincere thank you to all our sponsors!! We simply could not do this with your support:

Hello Members,
The Finger Bowls are now open until April 14, 2019. This is a special TEMPORARY opening.
Please check in at the Red Sands booth as it is very important that we monitor the number of riders. At the booth there is a permit and map you can take a photo of and should have with you while riding in this zone. We have attached a PDF of the permit you can download as well.
Please monitor this website for updates as things may change over the next few days with snow levels etc.
Of course, we appreciate any donations as these funds help our crew work with BC recreation and environment to make such openings possible.
Thank you!

SPECIAL OPENING: Blue River Powder Packers and our partners in BC Recreation have worked together to create a 3 day temporary opening of the Finger Bowls! The zone will be open April 5, 6, 7, 2019. We hope to provide a little more information for parking and access on Thursday. Thank you riders for all your support this year!
CLOSURE ALERT
Due to earlier than expected Caribou migration Coulees and North Blue (anything past White River) is closed.
This was a little unexpected but we do put our support behind the provincial Caribou strategies and this is one small way we can help with the cause.
We are continually working with our partners in the government and recreation to come up with strategies that will support wildlife but also allow us access to the great zones we have here in Blue River.
We appreciate the support our riders have given over the season with memberships, trail fees, and sponsorships. We couldn't do it without you!
