Went there yesterday. The snow was sweeeet!

The groomed runs are in great condition. Hit one rock when I went into the woods. Go get it.

How was the weather sunday? I was up near there on Saturday during a bit of rough weather, and had sort of an "adventure". Sunday weather in B-Ham was much nicer.

Sunday was good, a bit windy in the AM, but generally fine. Fought the early-season legs all day and had a grand time out. Everyone was twitchy to get in the snow, for sure.

We are still working the deposit zones, but it is knee sweet where you find it:

Where's that footage at? looks a little like where i was on sat, but the snow seems far more consolidated.

This was in the main gully, against the Table Plateau cliffs, down from Herman Saddle to Iceberg Lake. The top half was just under the knees, the bottom half well over the knees -- but then, for me, that ain't saying so much!

That's crazy. I was there on saturday and had a little epic out there. The snow in your pic seems a lot more consolidated than when we were were there. We spent about an hour and a half booting it back up from the lake to the saddle, snow was too deep/steep for skins.
