Daily Snow Report

The honest word on mountain conditions

SAFETY REMINDER: RESPECT CLOSED TERRAIN

While we’ve enjoyed some excellent snowfall this December, not all areas of the mountain are ready or safe for skiing and riding. Closures may be in place for several safety-related reasons, including active snowmaking, snow conditions, grooming operations, or snowcats (including winch cats) actively building and preparing trails.

For your safety and the safety of our crews, please obey all posted signage and never duck rope lines. Closed areas are clearly marked and are off-limits until they are officially opened. 

FAST FACTS:

  • 165 cm of snow since Opening Day (Dec 5) and counting.
  • Peak-to-base skiing with lifts spinning from day one.
  • Summit base is deeper than all of last winter and the deepest for this time of year in over a decade.
  • Snowfall totals are among our strongest since the early ’90s and Taynton bowl is skiing like mid-February.
  • Thanks to our snowmaking system and crew, lower-mountain runs offer reliable coverage right back to the village.

Please note this message from our Mountain Operations team:
"Although we have received some fantastic snowfall this December, there are still areas of the mountain that are not yet safe to ski. This could be for a variety of reasons including  lack of snow, snowmaking in progress, and snowcats including winch cats pushing snow and building runs. Because of this, it is, as always, critical to obey all signage, especially closures. Never duck a rope line! They are in place for your safety."

Some super conditions again yesterday with the new snow! Sun Bowl had plenty of powder to play in on the broad choice of terrain, with summer cleanup work evident in the lower reaches. Likewise, Founders had fun, soft powder along the sides of McIntosh Way, with the top steep section holding the best coverage I've seen in years. View of 1000 Peaks has some soft bumps formed down to the flats, then a little wind crusting on the exposed lower section leading into Messerli's.

Great conditions with pow turns galore through Taynton! Heli High was again on great form, with really good coverage for December in Cauldron. Ktunaxa to Stinger had fresh faceshot lines and good coverage through the meadows drainage. Lower Stumbocks leading to Taynton Trail has also seen summer cleanup of debris. Hard to go far wrong out back at the moment.

Panorama Nordic Centre at Greywolf have all nordic trails open and regularly groomed. Selected multi-use trails are open, with more coming soon. Check the website or in person for more information.

About Snow Report Evan 2

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!
