Day 82 | great to just okay

Another 15cm of snow fell overnight bringing the snowbase to 327cm or 128 inches or 10.5ft!  In the last week we've received 3 feet of snow.  Gotta love March in British Columbia.  Same thing happened last year.

Anyway, we had about 25 riders in snowboard school and most of them were level ones or level twos.  I took the level four class which sort of consisted of a level three, a level four and a low level five.  We enjoyed a bunch of fresh powder and found easily ridable fresh tracks in the morning.  The mountain wasn't as busy today as it had been over the weekend so there was plenty of snow left untracked late into the morning.  The morning snow was amazing!

After lunch, the sun came out and the freezing level rose, warming up the snow and making most of the nice powder choppy, heavy and a bit wet.  It was still enjoyable but not great and definitely not perfect.  We spend the afternoon around green chair finding powder, taking a lap through the terrain park, and turning down chopped out blue runs.  By 2pm, my three kids were parched and in desperate need of water so we ran down to the CLC to rehydrate and chill out for a bit.  Last run was from mid-station to the Valley.  More snow is expected in the forecast but so are higher freezing levels.  I'm guessing what we do get is going to be pretty wet and heavy.
