We were up Chappell today. COMPLETLEY tracked out to say the least. 1-2" soft stuff in the untracked lines which are scarce. Scratchers stayed down the whole day.

It seems like it has been forever since we have seen fresh snowflakes fall in British Columbia. We have been enjoying some beautifully sunny days, although the temperatures have been a bit extreme, often dropping to below -25 during the night.....

There is good news in sight, as it finally looks like the weather forecast is calling for some new snow to fall this upcoming week.

Now, just a bit of a warming to all of you who are hungry for a fresh line in some deep snow. This new snow will fall on a series of weak layers that have been developing on and near the surface of the snowpack over the last few weeks.

We need to be a bit patient and see how any new load on these weak layers is going to react. Before you head out full steam ahead, check what the pros are saying at www.avalanche.ca and work your way slowly into the backcountry, observing and testing this new load as you go.

If this new snow falls, by all means enjoy it, but do it cautiously and conservatively.

If you are in town over the Alberta Family Day weekend, don't forget to stop by the Best Western Saturday night for our Avalanche Awareness evening. Check out the Events section on this page for more details.

Ride Safe!

And now as I awake from my sleep I pray the snow gods will bury us deep the tops are socked in . First time in over 2 weeks . Common weather man, earn an honest weeks pay.

I'm crossing my fingers......

It's 1 am and we ended up with 4 inches . Atleast it's a start and weatherman is still showing snow all week .

Going to Valemount / blue for three days starting Friday for my sons 14th birthday....looking for some folks to ride with just in "case". I'm an intermidiate rider and my son is more of the freestyle fearless rider...riding a pro rmk 800 - 155 and an m8 - 162. Let me know if you're going out and want two extras with your group.

Reports of up to 30cms today in Chappell and more on the way for the weekend.

Ride safe folks and let this new load settle before pushing big terrain

Wicked , Right on Curtis , it's snowing again at the lodge about an hour ago it's really fine snow but it's coming down .

It's starting to add up 9 inches of fresh total so far and everything is socked in. Looks like it's going to be an epic weekend.
