The honest word on mountain conditions
Village
Summit
FEB 16
Favourable conditions to expect nice, crisp, grippy groom again first up this morning. The majority of lower mountain runs, mid mountain mainlines from Champagne lift, multiple skiers left Sun Bowl trails, and a peak to valley link of View/Messerli's/McIntosh/Bells are all on the overnight list this morning. Stumbock's was great yesterday, and Sun Bowl groom got the Lustenberger nod of approval. Wintery, soft packed bumps in Trigger to Sidewinder. We are expecting snow to start this afternoon/evening, then pick up again throughout Tuesday. Those with fluid planning capabilities are advised to keep the schedule loose...
Taynton continues to ski well overall, with decent packed snow base, some soft packed bumps and softer turns in places. Still some nice loose snow lying around. Best conditions are on the more northerly aspects with less sun effect. Monster terrain is best on it's frontside or backside, with Spectre to Ridgeback lightly suncrusted. Decent soft packed wintery turns yesterday on the Monster face down through the skiers left gully.
Nordic groom has a good packed base for great conditions overall, likely to maintain well with the current mid range forecast. Multi-use trails are back on for fat biking after a recent groom. Foot traffic is recommended to use snowshoes or crampons. 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!
