Snow Information

MAR 18
Snow falling on the upper mountain through 6AM, with mixed and liquid precipitation for descending elevations. Refreeze is unlikely, so you should find soft conditions of varying quality through descents. The grooming crew are staying mainly on the hardier runs with some man-made base, so Founders and Sun Bowl lie fallow save the winding roads through them both. Expect some inconsistencies on prepared slopes. Spring conditions in general, with slush city likely on the lower angle slopes towards the base. Dress light - you're unlikely to get cold!!

All terrain leading to Taynton Trail is closed in the current climate, and is unlikely to open today due to risk assessments. Forecasts show potential for some recovery heading into the weekend. RESPECT ALL CLOSURES FOR THE SAFETY OF YOURSELF AND OTHERS!

Nordic trails and Multi-use trails will be tough going in warm and wet conditions today. Please stay off the trails until receiving advice from the Nordic Centre. Check the website or in person for more information and to purchase passes.

SNOW REPORTER BIOGRAPHY - EVAN PACEY

About Snow Report Evan 2

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!
