Skiing is decent to good in Banff, pretty easy reschedule.

best time of the year

Says the guy advertising his blog in his signature...

Figure if we're going to be in NYC may as well do at least one or two really fuck off awesome meals. Has anyone ever been to Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare? The biggest concern I have isn't...

Heading to NYC with the wife for three nights, what are some must hit restaurants?

Thanks. I found a very bad screen shot of it.

Skied it many, many moons ago. Wish I could find the photos.

Is it too much to ask for Lake Louise to update their website, twitter and/or facebook when there is lift opening delays? Doesn't seem like it would be all that tough to type "summit, paradise and...

Yes and kinda - they opened Boomerang, not sure about Brownshirt. What a wonderful surprise of a day, especially loved the lack of crowds. With the amount of snow and lack of people I'd go as far...

All these ski area developments remind of the South Park episode with the underwear gnomes.

Phase 1 - Build Ski Resort
Phase 2 - ????
Phase 3 - Profit!

Really enjoyed the one where they planned to resurrect Seebe.

Odd how the news drys up after 2007...

I would have bought, but it seems as though they are not putting heli pads on the chalet lots. Deal breaker right there.

Looks like this is about to be approved.

So what you're trying to say is that the condos aren't worth $600-$950 sq/ft?

My only hint is that you can see it from highway 93N

Nice day out there again

Norquay was great today. Being back in the Tea House almost brought a nostalgic tear to my eye.

mtaylor - Major vibes bud. I missed all of last season with a serious injury/ illness so I feel...

I was out at Black Prince on Tuesday and it was skiing very well. Lot's of cars parked in the Tryst/ Commonwealth area so it might be pretty shralped up

I know, he's a dick. All I was thinking about all day was beating him.

Looks like Norquay won this storm. Reporting 40cm. Wish I wasn't chained to a desk today.

Reliable source told me recently they're still moving towards reopening.

On another note it was a great day at Louise. Absolute amateur hour on Larch when it opened allowed us to have 7 laps of...

Details will apparently be up on lake louise lowdown sometime today.

The local hill in Klosterle, Sonnenkopf, also rules. It's small, but some of the deepest days I had in three seasons in the Arlberg were there.

Looks like the skiff of snow buffed everything out again?

Amen to that. Learnt my lesson real good last fall.

Long time no post in this thread. Going to head back to the Arlberg for about a week in January the want to head to Western Switzerland or France with the wife for more turns. Looking for some...

Oh yeah, and Anchorage is a shit hole.

Just got back from fishing in the Ahklun mountains. Holy shit is that ever one beautiful place. Camped on Heart Lake and had a private float plane to tour us around. Pretty damn amazing.

If you...

Done! With a name like that how could you go wrong?

Flying through Anchorage next week and have a 6 hour lay over. Any suggestions of fun things to do/ see to burn away the time?

Coverage is great, true north facing stuff in the slackcountry was winter-ish yesterday and everything else really depended on the sun.

Haven't been up there. Poached that from the Kananaskis Country Public Safety Section Facebook page.

And Rae Glacier

Just spent a few days out at Skoki. Really Good!

^^^^ That's awesome. How was it up there?

Amazing, especially since I thought beavers were still in hibernation.

A bit off topic but my sister is looking for a 1 bedroom or bachelor suite in the Beltline. She's a graduate student and very responsible. Any leads are much appreciated.

There was a big old bear shit on the Cascade Fire Road yesterday as well. Not sure if it's early, but would definitely not want to come across one of those grumpy bastards right now.

Let me check dates but I might have a place available until ~May 20 or so.

Come on - that's only a surface instability!

Finally got in my first day back on snow since December 10! It was cross country skiing on the spray loop but the conditions were great and it feels awesome to slide again.

Uh yeah, 30-55cm expected in Banff vs 12-19cm in Revy. Stop looking at The weather network and look at environment Canada instead. way more consistent forecasting.

Heard it nuked in K Country today.

Lake Louise Lowdown was reporting that they were 2cm off of the second snowiest January ever this morning. Once again I will take all credit for this event. ...

Sounds pretty interesting, let me know if you go in.
