Thank goodness that Arctic blast is over. We have returned simply to winter and I love it. The snow is still excellent. On a morning tour I found good conditions on all faces of the mountain. The forecast is calling for about 6" of new snow over the weekend. I know quite a few of you sat out those frigid days and I don't blame you, but it is time to get back on the boards. With the forecasted new snow I am anticipating extraordinary conditions the next few days. Just now the wind was filling in The Spine to its magical level. And conditions are only getting better.
