The Awesome Run Continues!
It's been a fantastic run of great weather and awesome snow, and it looks like we are in for yet another day of user-friendly conditions and really fun turns. There is just a thin layer of high and low cloud, which I think will burn off and break up during the day, and there is hardly any wind. The current temp is minus 2.8 and we are heading for a top of 2 degrees.
The snow is still mostly chalky dry, with just some of the lower elevation and sunniest of slopes that moved into a melt-freeze cycle, and will be a little firm to start the day. The groomers will be the pick until the day has warmed and the snow has had some time to soften. Get out there and make the most of another great day on the hill.
Cheers Bill.
Backcountry Conditions
The conditions are variable in the backcountry. The southerly wind of a few days ago has stripped many of the exposed faces of the dry snow but there are still pockets of fresh to be found out there. Some solar aspects have moved into a melt-freeze cycle, but still not quite enough for good spring like turns as yet. Hunt around and you'll find fun turns just be careful of the highly variable conditions and thin snowpack in many areas. Take care out there.
All North side and South side trails freshly groomed. Trail to DP still in very good condition.
