mar 10, 2008

24hr snow = 4cm
base depth = 242cm
cumulative = 826cm
freezing level = 1800m
days riding = 51

five day forecast
day1 s15-25 day2 sw 2-5 day3 0 day4 2-5 day5 5-10

freezing levels on sunday were around 1500m, which meant decent groomed snow up top, icy mid-mountain, and soft corn snow on the lower mountain. ended up doing a few laps on lower franz where you could really rip in the soft snow.

it's raining pretty nasty today with very high freezing levels. the forecast calls for cooling temperatures this afternoon with the freezing level at 1000m overnight. if this holds true, tomorrow should be a top notch powder day. keeping my fingers crossed - there's only been one 20cm day since Jan 11, and i missed it.
