Snow Report: Jan 15/11

+3 today.

Crazy. Not windy beautiful out but of course the snow was heavy. We had a group head out this morning and cut trail all the way to Corbin. They said as soon as you got a 1000ft up from us (which is about 3km down the trail) the snow got lighter and lighter so not as much melt up top but still heavy overall. Another group went to the pipeline and said it was pounded out a bit so they got off it and played in the trees. Lots of snow! Watch the avalanche reports they are forecasted high risk everywhere but meadows and trails. We should see a lot of natural releases over the next week. Feb booking up but end of Jan has room for bookings. Groomer for Corbin should be fixed and out next weekend hopefully.

Crow Snow Riders Poker Rally Jan 28th and 29th - register at Rum Runner in Coleman 9-11am - should be great!

Gotta tell ya....Harvey and Wayne were out from Regina and first time riding in the mountains and first day out they are riding the trails behind us in the afternoon. On the Chinook Road or better known and the road from the Welcome to Alberta sign into the "campground" area at the base of Tent Mtn....out of the ditch.....head down and full on charge....came a sheep and nails Harvey's sled front corner leaving hair in the plastic! That is an absolute first for us! Never heard of it happening before but he was really lucky, minimal damage and they managed to get the heck outta there before the ram tried it again and he was gonna try it again! Harvey was in disbelief when I met up with them at the highway! Congrats Harvey you have a great "sleddin in the mountains" story! Cheers - V.
