dudes - it doesn't get much better than today. 75cm in the past 3 days, and clear blue skies today. the temp this morning was -18C, and that only served to preserve the perfect snow. by 10am the sun had warmed up the air and conditions were perfect.
it was one of the busier days i've seen this year, especially in the alpine, but it makes sense that everyone has been jonesing for a day like today. still, plenty of fresh snow to be found, almost anywhere, and i finally hit some of my favourite spots that weren't worth it up till now. no question it was the best day of the season so far.
friday looks like more of the same, minus the untracked snow. but it's still great soft stuff. then something else blows in this weekend. setting up for a big march?

Congrats on the snow finally. I wish I had this much when I was here for New Year's, but what can you do...
What's Spanky's like, or West Bowl?
hey george - i haven't checked out either this year! the base is thin in the alpine so i have been sticking to areas where the snow builds up. i'd imagine that both areas are rideable but probably not at their best. anything south facing has lost a lot of snow during our warm spells.
