Feb 13/14 - A bit more snow today

Morning crew, we ended up with about 10cm fresh in the yard and they said there was 15-20cm fresh up in Barnes Meadow/Limestone yesterday. When we drove out of the yard the wind had created 30-45cm deep drifts on our road though. So lots of loading happening up in the alpine. Today we are at +2 with temps looking better for the week at -1 to +1 instead of over the +5s. Snow forecasted daily. We got another 6cm overnight on the flat here - Curt blew out the yard yesterday, and there is no wind but wind is expected just not as strong as yesterday. Had some more guys ride Atlas and said it wasn't very good....on that tour you have to know how to get into some more difficult spots that have great snow usually but all the easy visible spots are thin still. One of our guys broke though the creek in Barnes Meadow. We have seen this happen a few times and he was up to his shoulders and sinking so take a tour of that area first before you start ripping it up. Creek is moving under the snow. Dig out the vintage and come to Corbin or load up for the Newbie ride at Elkford with the Betties this Sat. Cheers - V
