Feb 16/13 - Snow Snow Snow

Wahoooooo! Was at the Betties Ride yesterday in Elkford and had an awesome time!!! There were 93 riders. We broke off in groups of 7-8 riders with a guide and sweep and headed off to different spots. Gathered for lunch of hotdogs, pop/water and chips and then headed out with our guides for more. We rode fresh untouched 6" to thigh deep snow all day! Thank you Matt, Tyler, Bev, Trevor, Jackie, Justin, Megan - my group - we had such a great day. I highly recommend coming to the ride. Also this morning I woke up to 10-12cm of snow and it is still snowing with 10cm more snow expected today. The temps are perfect at zero degrees today and temps to be between 3 and -4 all week with snow daily til Thurs. The Corbin Vintage Run had about 35 people which was less than 50 or so we had last year. Everyone had a blast though and Cooper and Sommer won the Rat Rod award. They both now have 1970 Snow Cruisers. We are booking for March 10th now. Avalanche report is high and considerable and we saw slabs releasing just from vibration yesterday so beware - this new snow load will be causing that weak slab to easily release. Ride the cut blocks and have a blast and give this new snow a week to settle in. Cheers - V
