Melt Down

Submitted by Robson G. on April 24, 2012 - 7:25am

We're melting down at the Abbey this week. Overnight temps of +5. Lots of mush everywhere, peak to valley. Its not so good for skiing but great for watching big wet avalanches and the afternoon beer drinking is not so bad either. We skied Typee on Sunday and now we are skiing the local high country because we are too scared to go low in the valleys and get underneath anything. Once it cools off, it should be great for the corn season. Snowpack is down to 330cm. I haven't seen it this warm at this time of year before.

Time to bury the Greenroom Weather Plot Snow Stake

Ok, now that Ullar or Jesus, or whoever else may be in charge of these things, has buried the Woodlot snow stake, 300cm tall, its time to work on burying the Greenroom Weather Plot stake, at 400cm tall. This stake is right in front of the lodge. The snow creep has bent it over a bit, so its not quite vertical anymore. It needs another 10cm of snow to cover it. The last dump dropped 70cm of settled snow in about a day and a half, so if the recent trend continues, that stake is a goner. I have never seen the lodge this buried. The snowbank on the east side

Last Week at the Abbey

Battle Abbey

Last week was a week of snow, wind, deep powder, avalanches and quite a few runs down the Woodlot. We did get over for some great runs in Never Never with 70cm new snow over the old bed surfaces. Max kept us entertained with his Jolly Jumping. Plus we almost hit 3 mters at the Woodlot Plot, get the champagne ready.... any day now....

Thanks for the pictures Geoff.
