It was nuking this morning with wicked gusts driving the loose snow horizontally and with power. It was snowing as well, but the storm front was going to wait till 6PM for the Wall Of Voodoo to swallow the Valley and begin depositing the next installment. I bailed after assessing the options and getting a feel for what was happening on the hill. These winds were smoothing the pack and filling the variations ahead of the main event.
Tomorrow, look for a big accumulation event with ongoing accumulation during the day. Expect delays as the Canyon will be closing early tonight. That Wall of Voodoo coming across the Valley looks formidable indeed and the Canyon road is going to get interesting in a real hurry. Be sure to keep tabs on the Bird’s site for updates on Canyon access and what is happening on the hill. Expect this installment to be fairly high density till the cold air gets mixed into the dynamics. IBBY!!!
