Feb 18/13 - OMG AWESOME SNOW!

OMG it is amazing snow! It has been snowing steady all day and still tonight - huge flakes! There was 45cm of new snow on the trail around 2pm and by now and easy 60cm. Curt blew out the yard yesterday and is going to have to do it again tomorrow. Snow now forecasted for all week except Friday. Temps at +1 and staying in that -2 to +1 daytime til Sunday when it gets a bit cold again. I was boondocking on the trail easy and the bikes were loving it today. Likely more than this up in the alpine - didn't bother going up when this was all awesome down here. Heard an avalanche on Tent when we were stopped on the trail west of Tent. New snow load will be bringing stuff down. Slabs were easily giving way, propagating and sliding just on the cuts we were doing on the slopes adjacent the trails at low angles so beware. Hit the meadows - you will be plenty stuck! We are booked til March 10th and have family and friends here resort-sitting while we are gone for a few days. So we won't be answering booking requests til Tuesday ok. Get out sledding any way that you can and be safe! Cheers - V
