Snow Report: Mar 30/12 - Out like a Lion





When I say there is a line where the snow starts and we are on the snowy side ....here's proof! Hank, Shawn, Austin, Shannon and Sheldon reported 2ft of fresh new snow up in Alexander. They said they ripped it up in Alexander yesterday and then came back for more and their tracks were gone so they ripped it up again! A bit heavy but snow coming over the hood. Castle reported 36cm of new fresh powder and Fernie 30cm. Snow report is more to come. It was raining steady down here this morning but he frost line was at about 5500 just looking at the trees on the mountains. Then it changed to snow quickly. Its +3 and has been between 1 and 5 all day. Supposed to keep snowing tonight and be warmer on Sat then cooling a little bit on Sunday but all in the plus temps.

Shawn made a believer out of Curt on his Timbersled! Curt had an awesome time and noted that the different track shape makes a huge difference in handling. Check out Timbersled and be ready for some serious demo riding next year here - we'll give you lots of notice when Shawn can come out with all his new toys.

The other photo is of the Elk - only a fraction of the normal numbers that come down to those pastures by the Devon Gas Plant. Always beware driving through that stretch as they like to go back and forth across the highway and they don't move much for traffic.

Avy reports are looking better but keep an eye on them and then be conservative picking your terrain. There are tons of great spots to ride right now - kicking rock at the top may not be one of them....Cheers -V
