The honest word on mountain conditions
Village
Summit
FEB 27
Strong wind caused issues yesterday, with the upper lifts unable to safely load. Similar conditions today will mean our Mt Ops team will be constantly monitoring and making real time calls. Fingers crossed we can get up there.
The odd touch of snowfall, but moreover, a bunch of wind redistribution to look forward to on leeside areas. Grooming through central Sun Bowl today and yesterday's untouched groom down far skiers left. Heaven Can Wait is also groomed today. Higher temperatures on the lower mountain may see changeable conditions according to groom timing and freezing levels, so dip a toe before deep end diving.
Taynton Bowl has recent powder falls over a well packed wintery base. Untracked lines remain and some deeper powder load in the trees. Plenty of wind load expected to give a refreshed feel. Monster X hauls today (weather permitting), and the wind will be filling in some tracks from the recent Freeride competition.
Nordic groom has a good packed base for great conditions overall. Expect some changeable conditions with warm weather. Multi-use trails are back on for fat biking and will have improved grip with new snow; be aware that footprint holes still persist beneath the groom so proceed with caution. Check the website or in person for more information and to purchase passes.

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!
