You guys are probably going to have a sweet day today. Castle is reporting 65 and Nakiska is reporting 23, so maybe somewhere in between that. Either way I'm jealous and have to work.

Barton and myself went out for a ride today.We went over fording. Etherington staging area had about 2-3 inch of fresh on the trails.On the BC side around 7 inch.Give or take.There were no tracks to be seen.The snow was nice back there and started snowing pretty good on the BC side when we left at around 4.The temp was around -2 for the ride.Was a great day.The sleds worked hard today so did the guys digging them out.LOL

Thanks for the fun ride Barton.Hope to ride with you again.

Sorry for the stuck picture.I should have pulled the camera out more.That's all i got.

The report is 20cms new
this what the trail report said

These trails received 20 cm of fresh snow over this past week, most of which fell in the last 24 hours. Use
caution and watch for hazards. Winds have remained high and some southern trails have large drifts.
