Snow Report: April 1/11 Snow Warning @ Crowsnest






No April Fools - it is really starting to snow this evening. Started around 6pm and it is supposed to snow 10-15 cm tonight and 10-15cm on Saturday. Got a good start on it already.



I now have photos! The guys and our guests report at least 6 inches of fresh fluffy new snow up top. Was +4 down here and we are still slushy in the yard but again - not enough warmth to show dirt in the yard and no rain down here. They said the trail in in good shape, the Flathead is a bit rough the first 5 km but is still not spring bad. Rain Gauge back bowls were blown out but the trees were great and safer and Limestone has a ton of snow in it - no tracks anywhere in either. Trail up to Barnes is b-buster but worth it. Jumping into the snow it was coming up over the hood - How long can this last? Wow.



There is an special avalanche bulletin for the Crowsnest/Elk Valley and Lizard Range so go to www.avalanche.ca and know what terrain to avoid and then have a blast on the rest of it. We will still offer the late season special of $150 per cabin (now we have only two) flat rate. Cheers -V
