Mar 17/14 - St. Patricks Day Snow

Happy St. Patricks Day everyone! Well it went from misty light rain to a bit more steady and then late in the evening it turned to sleetish snow and we woke up to 10cm down here and it is very lightly snowing straight down big flakes. Trees are covered all the way to the peaks in both directions from our window. Likely got closer to the 20cm up top. Temp is zero here and it is supposed to flurry a bit today and snow all week except for Tuesday. Keep reading your bulletins and making conservative choices. This new snow puts extra load on cornices that have not come down and the weak layers in the slabs below. Afternoon riding will change the strength of the bonds so your terrain choices will be different from the morning. Be safe and enjoy this beautiful day - it is winter wonderland-ish out there on the trails right now with this kind of snowfall. Cheers - V
