CONDITIONS Exposed ground and creeks along approach to Thar shoulder and Thar cliff run. Thar cliff run looked thin and risky. BAD JOKE I wouldn't have rode that without hockey pads and my ex-girlfriends board (well maybe). CONDITIONS Group of skiers reported good snow on top of Thar with strong wind. Wind transporting snow visible from nak shoulder during picnic. SAD PART Returned to falls lake lower parking lot at 1245pm to see a 4 runner with its passenger window smashed in. Pick up truck leaving as I returned. Not sure if related. But if anyone's got dash cam of that day consider calling hope rcmp.
