Snow Report: Jan 17/10

Report from guests that went to Barnes and Limestone was that there was 6 inches of new snow on top of the set up snow - they enjoyed it.

Tent had a bit of fresh snow on it too - was fun for the group that did a bit of late afternoon riding.

Temps are dropping a bit now ....-3 this morning and cloudy up top - would guess it is snowing up there. Things will be a bit crispy at lower altitudes but up top you'll find patches of soft snow for carving and also traction where it has gotten some exposure. Not going to be powder but you'll be able to go a lot of places and get stuck alot too if you aren't on the throttle lol.

Avalanche report for this area on www.avalanche.ca - go to public site, then look up bulletins and then we are South Rockies. It has been "moderate" for Elk Valley and Crowsnest. Always wear a beacon though - better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it right? Cheers!
