The honest word on mountain conditions
Village
Summit
DEC 18
Two independent brainstrusters with well over 20 seasons here each, both told me they had their best ever run at Panorama through Heli High yesterday! That's a mic drop moment!!! Others spoke of it being orgasmically good, which explains the vocal exaltations! Basically, the superlatives can't say enough. It's a hell of a run up to Xmas after a slow pre-season! The team worked quickly to get Summit round to Heli High open in the morning and Outback Ridge access into Taynton after lunch. An end of day lap off the ridge saw no issues finding fantastic fresh lines down to the Funnel, so there's acres of the good stuff to go at again today. Caution around Landing Strip with a few exposed creek sections still about.
Zone and Stumbocks regions are also on amazing form, and snow through Founders was still light to the bottom at end of day. Moist packing snow on the lower mountain Will likely get a little crusty on ungroomed slopes with cooling last night, but should come up reasonably well on late groomed terrain.
Forecast modelling shows a good bit of snow potential tonight - a guy could quickly become accustomed to this regular service!! Keep it coming...
Panorama Nordic Centre at Greywolf is open, and they also have selected trails open and groomed. Check the website or in person for more information.

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!
