Snow Report: Mar 6/12 - Lots o Snow



An hour after I said the snow was tapering off it started back up and I woke up to 18-24 inches (knee deep doing chores)and unable to see the CPR shack across the way. It continued to snow while Cooper and I were pushing snow with the commander and tractor - thank you George for bringing it with you!!! We pushed snow from 8:30 am to just after 1pm. Our guys arrived and Cooper took them to Tent where they experienced a slide on a convex simple slope with no consequences. So Cooper said lets go and took them to cut blocks which were full of fresh powder - a bit heavy but it did get lighter with altitude. The guys had a blast they said - thumbs up all around. So beware the heavy wet loads on any slope right now. Primed and ready to slide. At 5:30 Cooper and I and a couple of the guys rode B road to the Corbin hwy and it was coming over the hood - fantastic! We were only out for 90 mins but it was wonderful. Temp is -4 and supposed to go to -11 tonight and then back up to 3 and later in the week 8 degrees and then supposed to flurry with a little snowfall accumulation Fri and Sat. Jeesh. Point is is there is still lots of snow and just look at last years photos from late Mar and April. You may have hero snow typical spring riding or you may have an awesome fresh dump like last nights snow! The next available cabins I have is for March 27th. Cheers Gang
