Big D Park Today, Blue Ribbon Tomorrow!
It's been a great few days since the snow fell on Tuesday, and it looks like we are in for another few really good ones before the next system moves in on Monday.
The stars are out, the wind is a light north-westerly and it should stay fine and sunny as we head for a top of 5 degrees. Although the temp was above zero all night, the humidity stayed low so the snow guns have been able to keep pumping it out.
The last few days has seen more runs groomed and more of the off piste terrain open, and we'll keep on with that theme over the next couple of days. The Big D Lift and Park is set to open once the final preparations have been completed this morning, and Blue Ribbon will be open for the weekend!
An awesome result for the 2nd week of the season. The groomers should be in top shape this morning, and there are plenty of off piste zones that are also skiing and riding well. Slap on the screen and get out there.
Cheers Bill
Backcountry Conditions
There are some nice shallow dry snow turns to be found in the backcountry but don't push too hard. The base is still punchy in some areas and the cover is still relatively thin. The most solar aspects may have moved into a melt freeze cycle, while the dry surface snow will be found on the shady and south facing aspects. Take care out there.
All north side and south side trails still in good condition from previous days grooming. Including to DP. All s / c except the usual Ryans skate only.

The sky is looking clear right to the horizon.
Everything still in good shape from yesterdays grooming . Firm early.
Ski carefully on artificial surface through the skier tunnel on your way to DP
