Happy New Year all.

Hanging around at Assiniboine lodge with family and thought it would be good to 
report on current local conditions.

Sunny skies and cold clear weather with temperatures dipping to -29 at night 
and -17 day at the lodge 2050m.  Surface hoar up to size 20mm has been building 
all around us at the same elevation.  Upon skiing above the lodge 2150m and 
higher there was a drastic inversion up to -4.  No surface hoar was observed on 
North or South aspects up there.  But we only observed a small area.

There is an unusually supportive snowpack for this time of year at this 
location.  Travel is still good but facets are getting bigger.
