Ruby and I finally hooked up for an overdue day of touring up in the Pass. With the Feb 23/27 surface hoar layer being the big performer recently, we treaded lightly and did some digging to further assess the area we were in. Check out the latest edition of RubyTV.

Some snow has finally fallen. Ruby gives us some thoughts on the backcountry snowpack. Please forgive the tardiness of this post. And forgive the poor sound quality. The wind was howling. We are now accepting donations of remote and/or directional microphones with wind sock.

Yes this website is about skiing in Golden, BC, however with all the hype surrounding the mountain development in Revelstoke I had to check it out. Heading out the door last Tuesday I had expected to spend 2 or three days on the other side of the pass. From the time I arrived in town it continued to snow, and the highways were like a revolving door opening and closing. So like any powder fiend would do I stayed for 6 days and feasted on as many pow turns as I could. For some reason the hour and a half drive home seemed increasingly impossible while being swallowed in a vortex of towering snowbanks in Revy. Check out the video.

Lots of new snow arrived in the interior this week and avalanche conditions deteriorated quickly as subsequent storms have continued to add load to a number of weak layers within the snowpack. Ruby checks in with an update.
