I was in the city all day, can any one tell me if the alpine opened today.

Looks lick a sick pow day tomorrow.

Don't ask, Don't tell

Anyone been in the Joffre area last couple days that can give me a conditions report?

Yeah, all those noisy heli skiers made their pretty little tracks right next to one another on the low angle stuff.

Had to listen to that Whistler 212 for a good portion of putting the skin track...

Praise be to Ullr!!

Fuck ya, 6 Peak/Harmony pow laps before 11. Who needs the sun, keep bringing snow and low freezing levels.

Should make for some interesting May/June/July touring off the...

Got stuck behind avy closure this morning at the bottom of the Duffey.
A good chunk of the Roar chutes ripped out(heli bombing?) right around Southern Comfort and buried the road in a couple places...

Definitely lots of wind affect.

Scoured entrance to DOA, alright after the choke, good on the apron.

Very little activity.
The usual 1.5/sluff off the back of the Spearhead, Corona great all...

After seeing a cat digging out the bottom of Harmony today I'm betting the Whistler Alpine doesn't open till thurs.
Wind was just as strong at the top of the T-Bar as it was getting off GC 45min...

fuck yeah Dr Tomahawk!!

I've only been here 17yrs but I think its surpassed 98-99
Looks like another cycle coming in Monday after a couple semi clear days.
Thank you Ullr.
How about Crystal...

Props to Patrol for getting 7th open for that 1/2 hour.

Too bad after doing control in Spankys they didn't pop it....."It's loading too quickly". I guess busy weekend skier compaction wouldn't...

9 day forecast calling for 200cms, praise be to ULLR!!!

That was one wicked ass day.

Seemed like Ullr and Mother Nature were trying to one up one another.

Had a good morning, raced over to Solar once I saw things closing up. Hung there till 130 and...

Thought they would have had AC done already seeing as when I got off Jersey the closure sign and rope wasn't up across the road to the reservoir.
Then again they could be too busy to do such an...

All hearsay...

Had a friend ski down from above on to this.
From what he heard some old guy just stopped, keeled over(heart attack?), and died.

First off....EPIC day, at the lift at 715 arrived back at Merlins at 615.

After an early alpine opening(Glacier chair 9:01) and a couple laps, left the area.
Dropped in to Cham chute at noon,...

L'Avalache' still great

DOA,all time

Corona, great

the week is looking fantastic, if only those guys at Whistler Heli wouldn't ski the north face of south Decker

Haven't read the document yet, just the Blackcomb map.
Looks like the T-bars would come out when the gondie goes in.
Like the idea if a Ruby chair.
Blackcomb Glacier chair....looks like you...

Was on Vanatge Wed.
Great champagne pow off the east ridge. Similar aspects as those here in Whistler affected by the wind. The pit I dug seemed more consolidated than a similar one from Whistler...

[QUOTE=jjnorm;3142756]re conditions...

anyone up on the hill today? yestreday it rained up to AT LEAST roundhouse and based on temps I would have expected very wet snow / slush all the way to the...

Has anyone gone and looked closely at these fractures.

I was with a small group skiing out the back of Flute/Oboe and wanted to take a look at one of the northeast fracture( 2 huge ones) but got...

The only conservative decision Blackcomb Patrol made today was to close the top of Horstman Glacier from the top of 7th.
Some cat fucked shit up.

I'd have to say they did a great job today...

HOLY FUCK ULLR!!!

That was so damn ridiculous.

Mandatory slingshot/piggybacking to get anywhere.

Some of the sickest runs in a long time.

Straightlining the steepest lines. A little...

I also went for Alpine Recon.

Somewhere between 1900 and 2000m( tower 10-11 Harmony or just below the 1st flat section of the saddle) there is a horrible crust, above that was some pure sickness....

Another sweet pow day

Blackcomb Glacier smooth as a baby's ass

Fuckin great gong show up there today.


Like a western.....The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

Great snow and brodown @ GC. Smoked/baked salmon. Spanky's, deep and dicey.

Helivac for said boarder...

From what I've heard WB always has to provide backcountry access passes, part of their deal with BC Parks.
They don't like to advertise the one ride passes because most of the user's use them as day...

That was fuckin' ridiculous. Just shy of snorkel deep.

Touring yesterday spoke to one of the ladies who run AC on Whistler. She said if they got enough snow with this storm Harmony may go this...

"Temporary Boundary".......look at sign temporarily,ignore,then proceed through boundary
