This is the last post for the 2015-2016 season, may occasionally post during the summer when there is some avalanche activity to report!! Future of the blog is uncertain, need to find some serious backers for next season if it is to continue. If you know any companies or individuals who would be in a position to help keep the site up and running please contact me this summer. Cheers Wayne
