Snow Report: Jan 31/11

It was -33 this morning. YEP! Then it went to -15 and now it is headed back down for the evening. The snow is not suffering at all. Jeremy and Cole - our guests met up with the Greg Hertz gang (from Medicine Hat Harley Davidson) and were riding Heartbreak. Jeremy said there was TOO MUCH SNOW! LOL - wore out his shovel. Greg called me to tell me it was EPIC snow. That North face is prime to come down - very loaded with snow so avoid it. The trees were fantastic. Both groups were really impressed by the snow. Terry Shepherd probed it and found 8ft on Friday and it has snowed at least 3ft since then up there. The guys said there was a foot of fresh on the newly groomed Flathead on Sunday. Greg and his group went into Rain Gauge and that first south wall had come down taking mature trees with it so look up before you go through. They said that the safe places in the middle were again EPIC but the winds were chilly. Thanks for the updates Greg!

Weather is supposed to trend warmer by Wednesday. Pipeline which was pounded out will be prime right now. I am guessing the cut blocks in Alexander will be deep too. Curt home tonight and this time he won't miss out on the fresh snow. Cheers!V
