Big dump overnight Thursday (30-40cm. in Revelstoke) made
driving anywhere to ski Friday out of the question – so I spent the day
on Mt. Macpherson just outside of Revelstoke on
the Monashee side of the valley. 80cm.ski penetration off the trail made for
exceptionally deep skiing with no sign of slabbing in the new snow. There had
been a few loose snow sluffs (small avalanches) that had run into the top of
the gullies but they didn’t go far or amount to much.
Today is bluebird so I am sure that people are going to
venture up high for the first time since this series of storms hit us – hopefully
the cooler temps will have tightened up the snowpack a bit but watch out for
those windslabs from earlier this week.
Play safe,
Scott Davis
