The honest word on mountain conditions

FEB 24
YYYEEEEOOOOWWWWWWW!!!!!!
'That Monday feeling' was a different vibe yesterday as snow just kept on coming through the day!! Upwards of 15cm in the summit plot all told, and a hefty dose of windload on anything NE of a ridgeline, so basically, most of Taynton, a good chunk of the Dream Zone, and Stumbock region. Awesome first up turns down Heli High ridge and deeper in the trees, sweet pow turns in Whiteroom and Sidebocks, excellent loading North face of Zone 2 leading to beautiful open face below the coffee cliffs, powder relief on big bumps down Surf and powdered bumps or smoothed and clumps on Downhill. No wonder I'm tired!! Sun Bowl also filled in nicely, and the grooming crew have mostly stayed out of there today to let you have at 'er! Groom should be a beauty butter ripple flavour this morning, as new snow is coiffed into corduroy!
Taynton Bowl was blanketed with fresh powder yesterday over a well packed wintery base. Plenty of untracked lines remain this morning, and some deeper powder loaded in the trees. A Freeride event on big lines sees competition closures for nearside Monster terrain through Wednesday, and they will be loving Monday's decent dump for softer landings! Plenty of freeride families attending realised that spectating (and emails) could wait, as they got to grips with our little Purcell's paradise. As discussed, don't tell ALL your friends...
Nordic groom has a good packed base for great conditions overall, and some fresh falls into the mix. Multi-use trails are back on for fat biking and will have improved grip with new snow; be aware that footprint holes still persist beneath the groom so proceed with caution. Check the website or in person for more information and to purchase passes.

A bit of cloud about in what should be an otherwise sunny blue sky. Light to mild SW winds at higher elevation, with mostly calm conditions on the lower mountain. Good winter temperatures overnight to maintain our new snow. 6AM sees -9C in the village and -13C at summit. Likely for a low positive peak in the village during the afternoon, while the upper mountain stays south of -5C.

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!
