The weather in Rossland has been pretty bad for a while now.
Unusually wet. Lots of snow falling at right around freezing, which then melts as it rains.
Or it just rains.
We've had about 200 cm of snow rain in us!!
Fortunately, much of it has been snow at elevation.
The weather reports have been torture, advertising below freezing and lots of snow in Rossland.
This Saturday was really poor for XC skiing and I was awoken by the sound of rain drumming on the roof, so Tom and I decided to pull the bikes out once again and do a road ride.
It was a fine ride, with temps of +11C in the valley.
There is lots of snow at elevation though.
I got one of these (avalanche beacon) so I can go back country ski touring.
Here are some pics from outings over the last couple of weeks.

Nick went to his new home a couple of days ago. Steve and Sarah live just around the corner. Here is a pic of them with a very tired Nick (he was out ski touring all day)
