With small flurries throughout the past week, conditions are getting better each day.
The top is riding well, and the lower mountain is softening up and smoothing out. Mountain Safety continues to work hard to open up more terrain safely in the alpine.

Unlike cinnamon rolls, convex rolls are not always awesome. Even mostly mellow slopes can have areas of sudden pitch change where terrain becomes prime for triggering an avalanche.

ALT Image shows an avalanche crown on a small, steep slope. Text overlaid reads, "Summer Snowledge Snippet: Slope Shape. The steepness of the slope affects how likely an avalanche might be on it. Places where the slope gets suddenly steeper are prime spots for avalanches to start. Why does this matter? Slopes don't have to be steep the whole way down to be avalanche terrain. Look out for 'rolls' and other sudden changes in steepness."

If you can ‘bear’ the challenge, try our Black Tees at Trickle Creek😉

Would be good to dig in and ask about what kind of support people getting from insurance companies and also ICBC for potentially vehicles destroyed by fire 🔥. It’s horrible to hear what people going thru and hopefully after the fire they don’t have horrible care from insurance
Good morning! I'll be on Cross Country Checkup with @piya this morning to talk with you about Okanagan fires. Tune in at 10 am PT on CBC Radio at 88.9 FM in Kelowna or anywhere on CBC Listen App.

This year, we’re facing the worst #BCWildfire season ever. Over the past 24 hrs, the situation has evolved rapidly and we are in for an extremely challenging situation in the days ahead. Given these fast-moving conditions, we are declaring a provincial state of emergency.

.@icbc release today: "ICBC supports BCers facing wildfires." Says basic insurance doesn't cover wildfire damage/loss to vehicles. You need comprehensive -- which ICBC won't sell if there's an evacuation alert/order in your area. So, basically, you are SOL.
Golly, thanks ICBC.
