WAHOOOOO! Okay in 40 mins from the start of it snowing at 7am at the house I already had 2 inches on the ramp of the horse trailer. Boone pushed show today while I was gone and good thing. Lou and his gang were up Alexander and said it was 18 inches of fresh snow and it was difficult to ride because of visibility. That is the North side of the highway which usually has less than the South and Corbin got more. They are out marshalling and grooming this weekend. There were TONS of sleds and trucks at the hotel parking lots in Crowsnest. I got to Lundbreck on my way to Pincher and it was clear skies and no snow. Came home and we have easily a foot of new snow down here. Temps are going to be cold so we won't lose any of it. Castle sends me emails and the ski hill has gotten 25cm of new snow there.
Avy report is considerable in alpine - watch out for rocky spots being the trigger and beware cornices, moderate in trees - propogating tree to tree could still happen here with terrain traps being something to be aware of, low below treeline.
MOre snow expected tomorrow - 6cms - still snowing lightly tonight down here. We are booked this week but have the smaller cabin with a queen and double bunkbed bedrooms open Sat thru Wed. Sleeps 3-4 guys but Lou's gang has 6 in there (I think they are sled crazy to do it but with the snow they are getting ....worth it). Remember our hot tub is pooched so leave your trunks at home - sorry. Go for a night ride instead. Cheers! V
