The honest word on mountain conditions
Village
Summit
FEB 20
Scattered flurries overnight have continued through 6AM, with light accumulation just starting to fill in some of the corduroy. Featured groom today includes Sunset to Markers in Sun Bowl, Whiskey Jack, Stumbock's and Zehnder's. The first pitch below the glacial erratic (big rock) in Founders is a bit worn, so utilise the trail. Good turns off groom in lower Delesalle yesterday. Soft bumps / loose powder skiing remains in good shape in Heli High, and Turnpike 1 is surprising people with quality turns, especially exploring away from the direct falline.
Snow in the forecast as we look toward the weekend, so stay tuned for some further model resolution the closer it gets.
Taynton tales beyond Family Day weekend:
NEW TERRAIN OPENINGS!!! Get Out, Ridgeback and Paranormal opened on Valentine's Day for the first time this season, and Patrol reports are of a consolidated base due to recent cold, with +boot deep settled powder. There are hidden hazards, and it is recommended for advanced/expert broadboarders of both disciplines. MONSTER X cats run every day until Feb 23 before reverting to normal service days. Purchase tickets in advance at Guest Services.
The Stash base is improved, and Jekyll & Hyde is skiing well in the top section with a mostly packed base and loose powder on top. The rock garden below should be approached with caution. Taynton to Never Never Land is generally skiing decent soft packed supportive base, with loose powder on top, especially in the top half. The lower half has lower snow pack, although skiing well overall after February falls. Have an eye for open creek sections through the ski outs. Funnel is the toughest of the exits, with narrower channels. Cauldron is wider with soft packed bumps, and the far meadow drainage has some good turns down to Landing Strip.
Nordic and multi-use trails out of Greywolf are probably as good as they've been within a highly rated season overall!! All trails have seen grooming since the recent snow. A mix of daily and semi-regular groom, with selected trackset on the XC trails. Multi-use have some fun features formed up with berms and hops on the general hard pack, making them fat bike fanciful! Please check our Nordic webpage, or direct at the Nordic Centre for more detailed information.

Triskaidekaphobic's beware!! It's a baker's dozen. Lucky for some, unlucky for others. Snow reporting primetime – the Wandering Wordsmith is on the scene for season 13! 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!
