Jan 11/14 - 20cm of Snow Expected - Almost there!

Good Morning! Well that front that was supposed to leave us with 20cm of snow showed up last night and today. We have 10-12cm down here already and it is wet and heavy here. Likely lighter up top but visibility today is going to be limited. Still snowing. Its about +3 today and going to -3 tomorrow and then +4 Monday with snow all three days. That is going to cause some serious snow instabilities so avoid being in areas with cornices hanging over top of you and run off areas. The guys were in Limestone yesterday and said the Flathead trail wasn't too bad, Barnes trail was rough but Limestone had 4ft of carving snow. They said that the big ugly face in Barnes Meadow came down big time on its own (not while they were there) and had run out farther than usual. Guess what....its kinda East facing. So the tell tale signs are consistently letting you know to pick your terrain carefully. Still lots of fun to be had. Pipeline has seen a fair bit of action but there's still lots of good snow in the trees. Been too warm to groom over the past few days - yesterday was zero. Its snowball snow. Check your avy reports, wear your gear, know how to use it and support grooming programs. Cheers Gang -V
