Apr 7/14 - Report from the Notch

Evening spring riders, our guys report that Tent Mtn has seen a lot of activity and actually a triangle slid below the riders today. No one was involved and they headed to the Notch instead. I will have photos of the riding at the Notch tomorrow but it looked excellent. They said the snow wasn't soaked and that it was set up spring riding but they also found stretches of light snow coming up over the hood and carved their way East from the Notch. Their photos of the pipeline and Notch itself show that the wind was hitting it and there were waves of wind loading but that the snow was about 10-15cm deep in some spots. They said the pipeline had about 6 miles of rough riding but that it was actually very smooth and they were cruising on it yesterday. Not at all what I would expect!!! Was great to hear. We have had two days of +6 then back to freezing in the early evening. No new snow over the past 24hrs. Snow is getting wet at lower elevations. They said the staging area at Corbin was full today so thats why they went back to the pipeline. I am still booking in April as the snow is completely worth riding if you know what spring riding is like. It is better than your average spring riding. We are taking off to Kelowna so our resort sitters will be here but if you want to book in please call before the 12th or after the 19th as we do have some of the cabins booked already! Cheers! V
