If you are reading the Canadian Avalanche Centre North Columbia, South Columbia, and Kootenay-Boundary public avalanche forecasts (http://www.avalanche.ca/cac/bulletins/cac-forecasts) regularly, the information here is going to be old news. However, things are so strange out there right now, I feel I should once again give folks a bit of a heads up on the ongoing surface hoarror show. (My brother Mark and I came up with the same “hoarror” pun without knowledge the other was doing it. Scary, isn’t it? Mark was first, so credit goes to him.)]]>Kyle Gears Down to Give Us the Real Poop on Backcountry Snow Conditions in Early Marchhttp://www.skiinggolden.com/journal/2010/3/3/kyle-gears-down-to-give-us-the-real-poop-on-backcountry-snow.htmlCrowe2010-03-03T07:44:37Z]]>Special Avalanche Warning Issuedhttp://www.skiinggolden.com/journal/2010/2/26/special-avalanche-warning-issued.htmlShralp2010-02-26T14:22:32ZAvalanche InfoCanadian Avalanche Center has issued a special avalanche warning for most of the mountain ranges in southern British Columbia this weekend. http://avalanche.ca/uploads/SPAW/special%20warning%20Feb%2019.pdf]]>Another AvySnack for you to feast on....http://www.skiinggolden.com/journal/2010/2/23/another-avysnack-for-you-to-feast-on.htmlShralp2010-02-23T21:22:06ZUser Submitted Videos Videos ]]>Early Spring Specials at the Cedar Househttp://www.skiinggolden.com/journal/2010/2/21/early-spring-specials-at-the-cedar-house.htmlShralp2010-02-22T03:49:03Z

Ryan Johannessen submitted these photos of a remote triggered slide in Quartz Creek on Feb. 8th. The slide was triggered from above by a sled on the ridge. Ran on the December 29 surface hoar layer with an average crown depth of 50-80cms. Ryan estimated the slide to be a size 3. Nobody was involved.

The CAA has been rating the danger to be moderate in the Purcells with the caveat that if a slide is triggered it will be large. This is a good scary reminder!

I vaguely remember a day way back in the midst of the 'Novemeber to Remember' when Adrian snapped this shot of Brian Morgan emerging out of the white room sans goggles! This day held so much hope and anticipation for a deep deep winter. Ullr could use some encouragement to get back on track.....start the dance!
