The honest word on mountain conditions

MAR 17
Here's a St Pat's Day rewrite of a classic Irish drinking song I'm sure you'll all be familiar with: The Wild Rover!
I've been a wild rover and skied all about
And propped up the bar taking turns in a shout
Now time has me weary, the body is weak
But the mind tides me over, it's drinks that we seek!
And it's no, nay, never (but maybe just one?!)
No nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never, no more!
When snow gives a call out, we answer it right
And drag sorry asses, remnants of last night
What ails us is ales, downed past keeping count
But now were back at it, riding down this fair mount!
And it's no, nay, never (ah sure now ya will!)
No nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never, no more!
If practice makes perfect, we're good now at least
We consumed lots of water with malt, hops and yeast!
But we're back up next day sliding on board or ski,
To the promise of apres with beer and whiskey!!
And it's no, nay, never (telling tales again!)
No nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never, no more!!!
Snow falling through 6AM on the upper mountain, with initial new snow at the base overnight melting in warmer temperatures. Today will have changeable conditions through space and time, with descents from the top ranging from new snow to spring groom and potentially slush by the PM. Take a leaf from the Boy Scouts and 'be prepared' (for anything!!).
Taynton Bowl will see changeable conditions today and will be monitored by our avalanche team with potential for terrain closures as warmth, wind and precipitation all add to the need for assessment. RESPECT ALL CLOSURES FOR THE SAFETY OF YOURSELF AND OTHERS!
Nordic trails will be soft and likely quite sticky today. Multi-use trails will be tough conditions for fat biking, and not recommended for foot traffic without snowshoes. Check the website or in person for more information and to purchase passes.

Eyes to the skies, head in the clouds, but feet on the planks! The Wandering Wordsmith is back on the scene for season 14! Meet your Snow Reporter:
His office is expansive, the heating bills are low
The floors are far from level, but the feng shui has good flow
All around, the views abound, but not through a window
Out and about on our fair mount, sliding on the snow!
Analytical tools aplenty, intel from the brainstrust, the knowledge and wisdom of the Panorama Avalanche Office, reports from the grooming crew, and the processing power possessed by the Countess of Accumulation, all combine to resource and inform your snow report.
In conversation with a weather station; providing explanation of the information; finding inspiration in precipitation; it's an interpretation with imagination! Not languid with his language, he knows his semaphore from his metaphor and his airhead's from his oxymoron's. Leading you to the rough diamonds and well groomed alike, it's all about explain and infotain for a net gain in our terrain!
