Jan 8/13 - Light Snow and rising temps

Hey snow junkies....we are getting some light snow...5cm was in the forecast and we are getting that up top for sure. Around 3pm the Jason, Ben and Johnny came back in from sledding and said it was snowing and closing in up top. We have about 2cm of fresh down here. Its zero going to -3 tonight with snow daily in the forecast for the next week. Temps over the next four days will be between -1 and +6 depending on the different forecasts I refer to. Light snow expected daily. Just to inform, if you go to www.avalanche.ca and check out incident reports you can go check out the back country skiing incident that occurred on the weekend and see photos. Avalanche bullentin is still warning about East facing slopes and this occurred on an East facing aspect. Conditions are rated as moderate but that weak layer is still there even with temps stabilizing and hopefully consolidating the snow pack. Beware the rocky outcroppings K? We are booked til Monday the 13th. We have the Divide and Log open til the 16th but then we are booked again for the weekend as Shawn Luhning and his Timbersled crew and Rhonda and Matt from the Betties take over the resort til the 20th. After that we are wide open til the 29th. Hope that helps you plan a spur of the moment trip out here. Cheers and safe riding! V
