For those of you heading to placer in the next few days. I went cat skiing with CPG today from ALy and after reaching the top in the cat the guides pulled the rip cord on the day before even one run. After seeing natural slides crowning about 5' deep on very mild 20-25 degree slopes I truely was not disappointed. So for anyone going to placer the chute up to squirrel is is extremely dangerous and deadly I would suggest staying in the trees and killen the creek beds....... Give the snow time to adjust the wait of the latest 5' dump is finally tipping the scales on the January rain crust and mother nature will clean its self up in the next few days. Follow the avy forecast website and be safe. We lost enough great people last year and don't need to see that happen again. Push it, Live it, Love it!!!!!

be careful tomorrow...copied from the cnfaic website...
"Bottom Line
EXTRA CAUTION is advised because we have a CONSIDERABLE avalanche hazard today. Natural avalanches will be possible and human-triggered avalanches will be probable. Large unstable slabs are probable on steep slopes. Remember most avalanche fatalities occur when the hazard is considerable, and 90% of avalanches occur during or within 24 hours of a storm. We are still in that window. Take the day off, or go to Alyeska today. Stick to the flats far away from any steep slopes if you're a snowmachiner.
Discussion
We got hit pretty hard by wind and precip in the last 24 hours. There will be deep wind slabs sitting on top of two distinct weak layers of sun crust and buried surface hoar that showed activity as recently as Monday. Most of the natural avalanche activity probably occured during the storm yesterday or last night, but its still possible today. As always, the big question is, will I trigger an avalanche if I go skiing in the backcountry today? The answer is yes especially on terrain steeper than 35 degrees. Avalanche conditions are dangerous today. There is potential to trigger very large avalanches today. Don't test your luck."

Folks from NOAA it looks like Turny Pass/Placer has about doubled its annual snowfall in about the last week.
Just give it time to settle and then GAME ON!
WOOT
If anything all this has done is grant us a longer riding season at turny. great timing for us!!!!!

My buddy wanted me to meet him there today, but had to get a new garage door. My wife tried to drive through it....$1500 I could have spent on a new crank
Its all good, she lets me spend enough on toys.He was stuck over there while they were working on clearing it. I think there will be allot more this weekend..

Few of us canceled this morning due to the predicted ash fall... bummer. I will be there on Saturday though if it stays ash-free.
