The honest word on mountain conditions
Village
Summit
MAR 13
Friday the 13th, but our luck is in! Black Friday is looking distinctly white after tremendous snowfall yesterday. A touch more last night will add a creamy softness to the groomed runs as some cultured corduroy returns to the mountain. Heaven Can Wait and a line through central Sun Bowl feature today. Great conditions off groom too, with renewed bumps runs on the mid mountain, loads of fun chopped powder on the sides of most runs, good untracked turns for tree explorations in Founders, and plenty of fresh lines through the Dream Zone, with some loose pow up top and some sweet, wind consolidated open face turns through the coffee cliffs end of day yesterday. Strap up, click in - go again!!!
Taynton Bowl opened to Never Never around lunchtime yesterday and was as good as we've seen all season, rivaling wicked December days. Plenty of times we had to stall the charge to allow the snow cloud to clear - this was over and above faceshots!! Really nice consistency of supportive yet still light, blower pow. Plenty of fresh lines again today, and with Monster terrain yet to open, we may get access to big lines from the plateau too!!
Nordic trails are back to prime new years form, skiing very well in general. Get it while it's cold! Multi-use trails are being groomed throughout ahead of the weekend after all the new snow. They're still a bit soft, so foot traffic is not recommended, but snowshoers are positively encouraged to spread the load! 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!
