Feb 22/13 - Getting that Storm Snow today

Sorry - its too dark to take a photo but it has been snowing all day and we have better than 5cm in the yard and the guys got back from Limestone and they had better than 20cm as they were coming out - tracks were covered. Visibility poor up top but hey...its snowing...you guys wanted more snow right, were tired of spring like conditions and hero snow right? Also with this weather its better to ride the lower angles right now til the new storm snow can consolidate - avy report advises that as risk ratings climb. Soft slab activity has increased. So visibility will be better in meadows too. Other guys were at Elkford area and said lots of snow there too. Rhonda from the Betties had told me that a couple of days ago - will be great for their Poker Ride this weekend. I am getting SPOT reports from Curt's spot so I know they are out riding in Cranbrook this afternoon before the poker derby tomorrow. I think Fernie Snowarama is on this weekend too - sorry if I have that wrong but worth a call to check if you are interested in getting to know their area better. Curt groomed our trail yesterday, Flathead is getting groomed this weekend. Cheers - V
