The honest word on mountain conditions
Village
Summit
MAR 23
Groomed terrain is the preferable place to ride currently, especially in the AM, with the timing of the cat's crawling and the sun's striking, along with the mercury markers at each elevation all combining to affect conditions through the day. It's spring, so yes, variations occur run to run and often hour to hour! Latter groomed lower mountain is best first up, with those slopes evolving to some thick sugary chop after lunch. Earlier groom starts with a firmer set up, softening later in the day for the smoother PM turns. Fritz and lower Powder Trail were both nice yesterday afternoon, with Rollercoaster still getting my vote over Skyline from Champagne.
All terrain leading to Taynton Trail has been closed in the recent climate, and will remain under review after refreeze. Ski condition is likely variable, and with increased avalanche risk in warmer temperatures, both are considerations in reopening. RESPECT ALL CLOSURES FOR THE SAFETY OF YOURSELF AND OTHERS!
Nordic trails and Multi-use trails are running firm and slick in general. Light AM grooming is in effect. No beginner terrain available - commence ski from Greywolf road bridge. Hale Hut and Hale trail are closed. Fat biking - studs recommended and AM better with rapid softening in the PM. Snowshoeing a preferred option. Check the website or in person for more information and to purchase passes. Some discounted ticketing available.

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!
