Let it snow...

Just got word about an Environment Canada Snowfall Warning. I'll post the bulletin below. We're hoping for much lower wind speeds for this storm. This could mean the difference between covering trails with a good blanket of snow or having white windblown slopes. Here's hoping for lots of snow and light winds. - SB
