Mar 13/13 - Rain Down Low Snow up Top

Good Morning, Curt, Wade, Kate & Ezzy were in the Rolling Hills yesterday and said it was snowing so hard they had problems seeing. It was fairly ridden out everywhere they went (both cabins) but said there was 10cm of fresh snow with more coming down steady. Think we may try it again today as the alpine is high risk right now and when it was warm a few days ago, slopes with solar aspects were releasing and pin wheeling. Give it a few days to settle or for the slopes to clean themselves off. If you are driving to the mountains you will be worried at the below 6000ft elevations with all the precipitation but fear not. This is common this time of year and 90% of the time it is snowing a thousand feet up from where you are on the roads. Just look up at frost lines if you can. The avy bulletins let you know what is expected for weather at different elevations too. Get doing the snow dance gang. I have had inquiries about quads and side by sides lately and I want to tell you....please do not take them down GROOMED TRAILS that cost clubs money to groom. You will not be well received by sledders. In May you will have snow and road to play on - please hold off til then. The sledders are more forgiving then - they are still riding in areas but accept that the trails will not be groomed then. When you do start to quad - it is always appreciated if you help clear trails on your travels. Cheers - V
