With last weeks storm dropping almost 4 feet in areas across the state we were left this week with some nice soft turns across the board. We are now starting to create a good base as long as some more snow starts coming in soon. Which is supposed to happen tonight through Monday! With all this new snow and strong winds the avalanche danger is still pretty high and lurking mostly on Northerly aspects. There were reports of a few slides this week with a couple of the incidents being friends of mine. Be careful out there folks. Now is not the time to risk it just for the shot. Always be on your toes, listen to the mountain. I constantly have to remind myself of that as well. The ole human factor. Something that can and will always be a major factor in decision making. Anyways, this week we stuck to low angle slopes and stayed off anything of Northern aspect. Some great turns were to definitely had!
They are forecasting for over a foot of new snow to fall by Monday. With it comes a lot more wind, cold temps, and a rise in avalanche danger. Back to Gnartica we go! Time to head below treeline and enjoy some more of that powda!!
