No hero snow here yet! It is +2 but cooling. Clear to the east but looks like it might be lightly snowing up top to the west. Guys reported 2.5ft fresh snow up top and getting stuck everywhere. Also - one group went into Rain Gauge & Heartbreak - tons of snow but also some dirty cornices still hanging. Two avalanches were triggered - everyone safe - one guy on the hill & nobody parked at the bottom area. They were north east and north west aspects. Propogated 400ft and broke at the the thin rocky crest but were not severely deep at the bottom. There is a sugar layer 2m down that weak also. The avy reports are right on the money. The other group went into our honey pot of Limestone where it was more solid on the ridden areas and nice a deep in the trees and off the beaten path a bit and very safe. Snow bungee was workin overtime. Flathead trail in great shape.
Was in Fernie yesterday and they had gotten more rain lower than us by quite a bit but also more snow up top. Heard they were heli bombing the dangerous areas and at one point only had 10% of the hill open a little while back. Conditions are improving as snow bonds but all this snow has created big consequences on complicated slopes - enjoy learning how to really ride your sled and not point and shoot it right now. Consensus is that it is fantastic riding and the guys are talking about May! Log cabin booked til this wednesday but then we are wide open for a bit. Lou and his crew are back at the end of Mar in the doublewide so call if you want a cabin. Cheers -V
