Shut down just before the North Arm hills due to poor visibility. We approached via Mckenzie Rd, 20-30 cm new snow, had not been groomed. Strong NW winds with a lot of new snow on the move in open country. Chose to retreat to friendly meadows and smaller ponds. 1m+ of snow in the woods, settleing well with a bit more of a supportive/protective base then last week. Ponds had slob on them, but great conditions for a little quality powder play. McKenzie’s had had one pass of the groomer when we came out.
