Conditions have quickly changed from deep powder to
stable and firm.
stable and firm.
We have had super dry air and warm temperatures for
the past 7 days, creating mid-Spring conditions. One week ago, I never would
have imagined getting high in these mountains. But the heat has stabilized
things so much, we did a mini
Route (
photos ), returning to the valley floor, yesterday. Wind blown snow is
all the rage, but rivers of powder are there for those
inclined!

Another change of weather is
forecasted for tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday. Temperatures should return to
normal winter temps, and we could see a nice dusting of snow, returning us to
winter powder skiing again… The avalanche danger will certainly rise from it’s
present level 1 (wow, level 1!) to 2 or 3. Yipee!
