A little refresh with light snow overnight.
Loads of new terrain opened yesterday, and I was there for fresh tracks down Heli High ridge, with lived up to the heli-ski vibe with beautiful, deep, settled powder over a ski packed base! Dropping skiers right at the end of the ridge changed to light boot packed base with increased debris for a navigable, although more bottomless feel. Reasonable coverage in lower Funnel and on the main spine of Landing Strip. Reports of similarly sweet conditions down the middle of Heli High, while more challenging and bottomless into Cauldron. Trigger was awesome (as usual!), with flowy pitch, cruisy pow turns, and Stumbocks had sweet powder skiing along the sides, although do beware of blowdown debris if venturing off the main drag towards Whiteroom or Sidebocks. The Extreme Dream Zone has closures through the cliff band in the mid section, so we are skiing around far left and right to access mid and lower elevation terrain.
Beautiful, soft groom is the order of the day for early riders especially, and we are close to opening mid Rollercoaster and Horseshoe Park, so look for those today potentially.
Nordic and multi-use trails out of Greywolf have a mix of heavy and light groom, with selected trackset on the XC trails. Recent snow has seen the big machine getting out for full scale groom. Please check our 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!
