Mar 19/14 - Snow in the Forecast

Morning, it is +3 here although it feels a bit cooler than that - clouding over a bit so we may get the snow that is forecasted for the next three days. Fernie ski hill got 35cm overnight when we got 10cm down here so that means there is somewhere between 10-35cm of fresh up top. We have crusty snow down here so you may need scratchers til you get a bit higher. I haven't been out on the trail lately but I am sure it is getting set up everywhere and under this fresh up top. Avy reports are improving but that weak layer down about 150cm is still a sleeping giant - don't poke that bear on risky slopes that have not come down yet. Limestone will be very good now I think. Its spring riding so check your gauges often and dip into snow to cool down every chance you get. We have the Summit Log cabin is booked today to Monday but the Flathead and Divide open tomorrow through the weekend. The Flathead is booked all next week but then the Divide and Summit Log cabins are available. In April I stop advertising unless we get a big dump of snow (which happens) and then I pretty well leave it up to the guys that know our place, the area and are seasoned spring riders to just call me if they want to come stay and sled. I know Curt and Cooper are going to get the tires back on the bikes mid April as they are headed to the Kooc early this year. Cheers - V
