        Acidophilus heads up for the Soapbox

        As it is still snowing up high I just wanted to drop a couple of cents on what we are seeing out there.  The report from Acidophilus is the skiing is great on the weekend but with the added new snow comes added new concerns.  The snow was coming down hard on Sunday at around 3cm/h mid day and the woofing on the climb out of 5 mile was like a battleship running up again a steel dock.  Also lots of micro cracks were firing out as trail was being broken with it propagating wide.  Any features such as roll overs and convex rolls showed signs of separating although nothing was running from what was seen but the potential is there.  Just keep your heads up and look for the signs as they say on the "Dead Dog Cafe" 


        Cheers and here is hoping for cold to remain up high.
