Ice Fall Lodge gets hit hard

  • 2011-02-13 20:06:33

    65cm of pow fell in the last 3 days and 32cm of that in the last 12 hours - time to book a spot? Have a look at the most recent Mountain conditions Report for more info:

    65 cm of storm snow in the last 3 days with 32 cm in the last 12 hours. Temperatures have risen to - 4 at 1900m. Widespread natural avalanche cycle with numerous avalanches heard during the day. The change in density within the storm snow is reactive to ski cuts on steeper rolls. These slabs are up to 10m wide and 30 cm deep but are not releasing down to the Feb 9 interface. We are calling it very poor stability at all elevations.
