i asked the same thing, got the same answer. decided best not to push my luck, particularly has they have been pretty anal this year. would rather ride the bike park all summer then ski showcase once...

1 and 2 are both Cham chutes. Short for chamonix is what I thought.
Skied number 2, number 1 is a rope line to get in.

Line 3 I'm not sure of. Never seen a line down it, not sure that it goes at...

the blackcomb glacier is closed?

that leads me to another question, if glacier chair is shut, do things like armageddeon remain PC or are they fair game? or if showcase tbar is shut, are xmas and...

anyone notice if the hourglass got shralped on tremor yet? or its general condition??
I know its west facing but we really havent had that much sun lately.

Fuck yeah.
Pics?

Edit, this is directed at clarklwis

disease was in the best shape ive seen it yesterday, pity its such a short run.

saw some skiier go huge right next to the spearhead hike on the west face. cant wait to see intersection, should be...

sweet shot, i have been looking around that general area from spearhead and wondered whether it fills in/gets ridden. obviously it has/does.

man yesterday was sweet. hit the 19th hole just after the sun got there. awesome turns, everything just fell into place, was perfect.

then came down, switch boards and hit hi-feeder for the first...

anyone head out today? i heard that husume was slabby thru the poor vis, looking for some beta for tomorrow.

I bet if it wasn't right next to the chair and go pros weren't invented it wouldn't get hit as often. Today and yesterday were both super fun. Serious winter style faceshots today.

i rode both days, both were pretty fun. peak was good almost the whole to 86 if you stayed in the shade of trees. some nastiness in the sun though.

cant wait to see the tr

hows the mini lone pine in the background. at first i thought you were skiing pakalolo.

did you guys do fissile in a day?
we hit pattison yesterday and were wondering how much further a mission...

ive picked out a few lines down there, but i just really dont want to lose my pass, and working nights means hanging round til close doesnt happen often.

finally made it to decker for the first...

Anyone have the wb avi phone number handy? I don't have it in my new phone.

that sounds pretty extreme to me. ive done that many times without even thinking about. although i normally do it early season before crystal opens or after wind stops the chair. i'd be pretty upset...

today was pretty fun. deep in some spots, not so deep in others. quick DOA to finish off was nice once into the apron.

hopefully the next storm isnt as windy as the last one, disease looked...

skinned up from kadenwood, kind of the way you get to tunnel vision in the summer if you head that way, with my dog today. couldnt face the -27. had a sweet mini pillow line on the way back down. dog...

anyone got any obs for the backcountry snow conditions from today or yesterday?
did the N/E winds strip everything n facing?

some awesome stuff in the plan, though i really doubt most of it will come to fruition. a chair up spankys or over false face? i dont see shit like that happening. crystal upgrade i think will...

helped put in the stairmaster yesterday, was kinda shocked to get there and find it without a bootpack already in
some scary cornices out there as well
...

man im pissed right now.
got a parking ticket while at the alpha lake dog park today.
parking lot has 2 feet of snow/slush/brutal death cookies and hasnt been plowed in weeks, basically only...

Anyone hit 19th hole on decker or disease ridge today? Just wondering what to get after tomorrow.

you talking about the high chute or the low chute? i know the low chute was good to go a few weeks ago, then the christmas storm ripped all the snow out of it. it was filled back in on thursday, but...

gonna throw out today as being my favorite day of the season so far. just could do no wrong. stomped stuff i thought i was going down on etc.

good times.

thanks for the pics axman.

we did the entrance on the far right of your second pic late last night. (i got no idea what the actual name is) snow was surprisingly good. little bit of a sketchy...

Oh I Mis read your post. Thought you said you had just nailed it.

How was disease? I still haven't been down there this winter. Still looks kinda gnarly and not filled in

damn you!
i was looking at that when i took my photos.
had the day off and was thinking about it but i was spooked by all the activity lately. (and not knowing exactly where to go, or having the...

big slide on decker, looks like the whole north face ripped out.
also a big one after DOA. had the best DOA run ever, pow in the chute except the very top, the apron was perfect, sunny, then a huge...

terrible christmas present for someones family. no doubt the news reports will be piling in soon.
vibes to the guys family, people who found him and the patrollers who had to deal with this on xmas...

congrats man.

there was also a huge one on skiers right of DOA above that couloir in the PC bit.
looked nasty and slid right down onto lakeside bowl.

not too sure when that happened though

anyone done any travelling lately?
avi advisory is at moderate now but why am i still feeling scared about heading out there??

patrol must be on the edge atm with all the slides. props to them all for getting it open for us.

anyone else getting some serious concerns about the snowpack this year?

thanks for the photos of decker, we were thinking of heading up spearhead but had a boot packer with us so opted for spankys...

Reward of beer and massif karma points if returned

If any one finds a probe somewhere on blackcomb its probably mine.
It was in a orange bag, nearly brand new. I think it was a black diamond though i cant be sure. it could be between top and bottom...

there were lots of crowns in jersey bowl and i saw 2 slides go after bombs were dropped from bushrat and a little closer to jersey chair.
havent heard any rumours about openings, made it over to...
