Someone emailed this link to me. Wow. Maybe this guy's buddy could move over a little next time?

Hey Mark!

Met mark coming out from camping on Circle Glacier with my wife. That's that little thing below the travers to disease ridge. Mark and his companion were VERY unafraid of the Jager. :-)...

Was supposed to do Cakehole today (which I've never done) but my pal got called to be a photo whore so that has been postponed. Bastage. ;-)

Went with a new buddy from this year to Cowboy Ridge...

If the date is correct on that fissile report, I think I shared a skin track with that party. I went with Jamie and Tobin to the north face of Fitzsimmons on 2/20. I did notice that that group (which...

Mm I heard about that from someone else yesterday. Sounds like a blast. Did you get a pic of the line you skied? I wanna see!

Now is that some Canadian euphemism for doing ghey porn movies? I can't keep up with you kids anymore... who knows who IRL and who has which inside jokes with who else, who pays the bills doing ghey...

It's a stoke thread, dude. Which by the way is what you're supposed to be contributing, not UN-stoke-ing people. Sheesh!!!

The wind did frig up lots of stuff. I didn't see that much today because...

Poopchutes and that 9th hole must have been friggin awesome. Maximus I saw your skin track heading across circle glacier on my way to DOA and I was thinking whoever that was was gonna get some silly...

Ah nice where was that one?

Yesterday we skied from spearhead to circle glacier.... nice, stable pow. Then up disease ridge and off the back toward Decker creek. That had been totally melted by...

Hey thanks you two dudes who complimented that one photo. I have a handful of other snaps from that zone which are similar--- shadowy, pow-wy. Chad said it was hero snow all up in there. Good times....

Here's a few more from sunday:

Steglich from Texas can't believe Chad is a pro!

...

Tim actually stopped in the middle of that line and did someone's taxes which earned him an extra 7,500 GNAR points. :-)

I definitely saw someone with a bamboo pole heading to Husume about a week ago. No pic sorry.

The helicopter evac injury by the start of the skin track was a broken hip. Person wiped right on a...

I just asked him and he says he is not. Between the lines I think we could say that unless Todd is about 11 years old and doesn't know who his father is, he definitely is not related to my buddy...

Haha Lee and Stan for some reason you're conjuring up Big Lebowski quotes in my head.

My friend Steglich and I got up to Rendezvous about 9 this morning and thrashed breakfast burritos and coffee...

I did end up heading to poop chutes today and instead of pounding up stairmaster I went to the bottom of the glacier and skinned around the back way.
...

Quick update on my binding mount issue in the unlikely event that anyone cares. Alex from Escape Route got a hold of me and is on top of the situation. Don't anyone hesitate to speak with him if you...

As of like 1pm showcase and Blackcomb Glacier wasn't open so I never got higher up than Jersey Cream. Was going to go skin with my wife and see what it was like up high but we got sick of waiting.
...

Anyway enough of that... back to stoke thread. Go out tomorrow in the rain and do this.... this pic was from a similar day in December:
...

Yeah I dunno who was the one who did it. It would have been possible to see the extra holes and hole-fills if I would have thought I needed to check for them. This is actually the second time in a...

Lookinback.... take your skis to Excess Backcountry/Village Sports (both near the plaza in Whistler where the two gondolas meet) as Mark said. They are used to mounting that stuff and they will take...

Hey man! Hope that Jager helped your hangover!

I bet the apron below DOA was fantastic. Jodi and I traversed out of bodybag today to the very bottom of that area and that was the best snow of our...

Yes it has been very nice the last few days and not really that many people on the hill. Easy to find nice pow lines.

Went touring with my wife today. It was nice and sunny although a hair cold...

Ah hey man, thanks! Hope you had a fun lap. Saturday was just gorgeous.

I see they've upped the prediction to 5-10 tomorrow, 15-20 wednesday, and 5-10 Thursday. Maybe we can get this whole thing...

Wow--- what a sunny streak. Don't you miss the constant snow? Of course it's nice to get out walking, too.

Here's a pic of that Pattison crack:
...

Disease is looking more filled in. Friend of mine came down the further large chute and said it felt okay in there, for whatever that's worth.
...

Still a lot of precip coming down. Crystal chair isn't even open yet today. Somewhat gusty winds still forecast (and possible 10-15cm) for Sunday.

My guess is Monday for Alpine starting to open...

I agree about the grooming today--- it was terrible!

...

They're predicting high winds Friday again. No blasting at all going on today. Might not have the alpine open until Saturday when the winds settle a bit.

Two guys and I put Stairmaster back in today. There were huge drifts in areas; very hard to get up. Took us well over an hour too.

We ended up skiing the main poop chute--- everything from the top...

That had to be quite the trailbreak effort up Stairmaster!

Today was sick.

I'm back in Whistler for my first full season in quite a while. Got in a week and a half ago. Already got reconnected with some old friends, and made some new ones.

Been an...
