Monday

Graupel is pelting down, bouncing off the deck, bouncing off tree branches. Some of it is pretty big, but still looks like graupel, not hail.

8:30 update - sun is out now, Kiosk cam and BMR website are down.

Thank-you BMR Team for a great season, and bonus weekends to come.

Today was the last day of daily operations at the hill, with two bonus weekends coming up. Check the calendar up top for services and times.

This was forecast to be the warmest day time high, and the snow eventually got soft and a little sticky in places, even with the cloud cover.

Another successful slush cup - a longer pond than last year, but most people made it across. Thanks to my community minded neighbour Janine for volunteering as MC for the event, and also doing some judging at the talent night.

A couple of fast ones, and a slow one around Jolly Jack today.

The Woodlab

You've seen the signs on McKinney Road and the Highway north of Oliver. Congratulations Neil Dennill on the launch of your business. Neil is a Baldy lifer, skiing here since he was a little guy. He is a skilled tradesman who apprenticed under Wayne doing construction, and now specializes in custom stuff.

This sign will be on the services/contact information page, where Carlyle Timber Frame is also listed. Katlin is also a Baldy lifer.

If you are building or renovating this summer, these guys know their trades, and all the secret powder stashes on the mountain.

Thanks Paul C

Thanks Paul for pulling the nail.

What you are missing........

The last couple of days have been great skiing, and sunshine.  Tomorrow should be sunny, and a little warmer, and the slush cup should be over Sunday before it starts to snow.

Website, Webcam

I was going to tell you that the webcam was back up. It was, late last night. But this morning, the BMR website is down, and the only webcam image I can pull up is the one I saw last night.

It is sunny up here, and forecast to be mostly sunny through to Sunday, with snow starting again Sunday night.

Thursday

Grooming was great, and mostly winter snow conditions. A slight bit of softening around noon on the bottom of Dividend, but not enough to slow you down. Lots of sunshine. Nice to see Tyler out enjoying the grooming, and  good to see Trevor out and about.
