We explore "Zipper Lip Creek".

Revelstoke was pretty slow when we arrived on the night of December 18th, many Holiday sledders were still at work as the true Holiday rush starts with a frenzy on the 26th and goes hard until January 1st.  Come January 1st, many sledders headed home, with a hangover I am sure, leaving much of the main sledding areas banged up, but there was lots of hidden fresh snow treasures to be had.
As we arrived on the 18th, Revy had been getting hit with lots of fresh snow and it continued to snow until after Christmas.  On our first day we headed out of town to a local hidden tree riding area that most people ignore, there we explored the area further and found new zones in an area we call “zipper lip creek”.  The snow was deep and all untracked, the snow had covered most of the creeks, logs and stumps.  While some creeks still had some holes, we could maneuver around them to continue on to explore and enjoy the area.  We ultimately ended up spending a whole day in this little gem of a zone, burning a full tank of gas and leaving after we found new areas.  As we took our sore and tired bodies down to the trucks we were treated to a beautiful sunset, just a fantastic sight to cap off a great day of sledding, spending time with friends and enjoying the backcountry.  We liked this area so much we came back to “zipper lip creek” 2 days later to explore some benches we had passed on our previous trip, but that’s a story for another day.

Looking down into another riding zone, we came back to explore this area.

Further into Zipper Lip Creek we stop to check out the terrain on the iPad, before dropping down and into a new area.
