Jan 19/14 - Snow in the Trees

Hi Gang, temps are running -2 to +3 over the course of this week with a bit of snow forecasted for today and Wednesday. Limestone is fairly ridden out, Heartbreak got a lot of wind and Jerome's bowl was full of snow, there was about 2 ft of fresh from the photos the crew showed me. Cooper and Curt were out and said Jerome's bowl was the best. They saw lots of natural avalanches and a bunch of stuff has come down. When you check your bulletin, click on the South Rockies title and it will take you to the main page if you are looking on your phone. Special warnings are out for the Rockies and a few other regions and if you go to the South Rockies forecaster's blog there is some great video of Lori and Randy with Zacs Tracs doing a compression test that illustrates what it has been doing out there and what you can expect it to do. The trees are the best place to play right now and low angles with your terrain traps in mind. I believe the Crow Snow Riders poker run is coming up on Feb 1st and the Corbin Vintage run is the 15th. The Canadian Avalanche Association with Teck is putting on a FREE Backcountry Workshop from 7-9pm at the Causeway Bay hotel in Sparwood - everyone welcome! Our Feb is totally booked up now with only the Divide cabin available the last week of Feb. Happy Trails & Trees - Cheers, V
