WAHOOOO! Finally. Luc, Christophe & TiTi....I didn't think I would be addressing you so soon to say we got our snow finally! In the yard this morning we have 20cm (8 inches) and it is -5. We are supposed to get more snow Tuesday, Wed, Sat and Sun with temps sticking around the 2 to -3 range. Okay so Corbin Poker Run ...was great! We started out a little snow at McLatchie...the snow got deeper and deeper as we went to Lodgepole and then between Lodgepole and Harvey and on stretches on the way home up the Flathead you could hardly see. There was a foot of fresh by Packhorse Creek Outfitters by 2:30pm and we were cutting fresh trail ...ON A POKER DERBY! Okay so I am being conservative because I don't want anyone thinking I can be swayed into frenzy by one snowfall. As we all stood around the fire at the end of the day we had inches of snow piling up on our heads. Pure joy. By the time we left around 6:30pm there were 2ft ruts in the snow on the Corbin hwy with one car in the ditch and evidence of another that got pulled out. Traffic is slow even today over the Pass but the snow thinned by the pipeline access to hwy 3 from what it was at Corbin to B road access. It is snowing in little flurries here but looks like visibility up top is restricted by continued snowfall. The lower angles will be amazing today. A very good time was had by all. We got home and Curt had to plough the yard and we shovelled off the steps. It is perfect mid weight snow. Cooper rode his Timbersled the whole way and had an awesome time of it. No trouble at all on the trail with that new ski. Curt and I could hardly keep up with him. He whipped up into cut blocks and side cut the trail like mad. Curt will be putting video on Summit Creek Cabins facebook today. Keep doing the snow dance - Enjoy! Cheers - V
