Feb 9/12 - Snowing! Up there, down here

It was snowing up in Limestone and on the Flathead this afternoon after I took these photos - it started snowing more - BIG FLAKES. It is now snowing big flakes down here too. Limestone had about 8cm of new snow and by now that is likely more like 15cm. We have 5cm of new snow down here at the cabins. Reports from the Jody Hackett gang were 15cm of fresh snow further down by Wrangler's Cabin. Lyle from Lethbridge on a Timbersled snowbike said there was a small slab that slid in Jerome's Bowl so keep your eyes sharp and look closely at slopes before you take them and be up to speed on the avy reports. Terry, George and the guys and Brayden's gang got the groomer/bombi unstuck and track back on and will be grooming the Flathead to try to get it back in shape. It was pretty rough for the usual first 5km but not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Good job you guys! Luc, Christophe and Christophe (hope I spelled it right guys) were out from France and having a good time getting all their way points! Justin Tysdale...you will be so impressed with me next time you are here - Luc is getting me Garmin-ized! Toni our web designer has gotten me versed on KMZ files and we should have it downloadable from our new website soon! Saw Darcy and Justin at Corbin staging - hope your day went great! Met lots of people out there today and I just want to say the friendliness of everyone out there today was so refreshing! So its supposed to be sunny tomorrow but -8 in the morning warming to zero. Watch that temp change - could start to see some slopes move. -3 to zero seems to be the trend for the next week with snow on Wed. Whatever you guys are doing .....keep it up - this snow is nice to have! Cheers - V
