It's still good - just not as good as it used to be. And you have to deal with way more BS to get the goods.

Do you mean the highest entrance (2m gully)? While steep and commiting that has a pretty tame run out and I can't think of any cliffs in the area.

I would say it overperformed for sure. You could still feel the bottom in spots but in other places it was easily 3X what was reported. Killer day for any time of year let alone April 1.

Nice sleeper day today with the 7cm reported skiing like triple+ that on the right aspects. Good viz (in the morning) and moderate crowds (for the Friday of a long weekend) really tied the room...

I will jump on the "if these are still available" train. I am in Squamish so no need to ship. Can pick up this week.

They literally do one or maybe two tire checks per winter and it almost always happens on non-snow days. Seems like an ounce of prevention could go a long way on a day like yesterday when it will...

Most of the slab trails around Alice Lake ride well in the wet. Amazing grip even with muddy tires. Pamplamousse (not a slab trail) has some of the best drainage i have ever seen on a trail

Just in the time for the President's day/Family Day shit show weekend..................

I hiked a Piccolo Face at around 1pm and there were a few small groups still heading out. Flute shoulder had a handful of tracks on it and the same on lesser Flute. Looks like most of Flute chutes...

What are the odds that the alpine opens this weekend with a ton of new snow forecast Friday night and steady precip through both days (all falling on a bunch of different surfaces)?

One thing is...

If I wanted the absolute best performance fit I would be in a 23.5 (probably with some serious work done), but the main issue is that no one really makes 130 flex boots in that size (other than plugs...

Imagine pitching your tent at the front of the line for Whistler Gondola 16+ hours before opening, chilling with buddies, firing up the stoke. You go to sleep with dream of first Gondi of the year...

Check out my weird small feet. Sent in via the QR code - MW initials.

Fairly wide (especially the right) and high for their length is what I've been told. Scans seem a bit short...

I was just thinking back trying to remember the earliest openin and I'm pretty sure it was Nov 4th in 2005 (although I didnt make it up until the 11th a week later).

I would loved to be proved...

I wonder what this means for biking in the summer. Are they just adding 8 person cabins to the existing infrastructure or do they need to add new stations/towers/sheaves?

I know every year there...

I inquired about these before the length was listed. Would have happily grabbed them for the $100 initial asking price if they were the 184. Killer deal now for a great ski.

Was listening in on the radio in the Harmony line and it sounded like it was mostly just storm snow moving so when they pulled the plug saying it was instability at tree line I figured it must have...

Love me some neoshell. Can you elaborate on the sizing? At 5'8" and 190 I am assuming this would much too large for me.

Thanks, appreciate the offer - I did see those (been searching all of craigslist) but I think 193 is a bit big for what Im looking for.

The ones in Nelson are prefect (preferred vintage) but...

Bump - Who is holding?

Hoping to find a set of one of my favorite skis. Surely someone has a set that has been sitting in a garage unused for too long.

Would prefer the 2011 or 2012 model with the urethane tail but...

Too bad about the warm up - yesterday was really good on Whistler with only poor vis up top limiting some of the fun.

You could begin to feel the firmness under the fresh at about 1650m yesterday...

The unusual PWL has certainly got to be the root of the issue with regards to alpine openings. There was no major movements from any of the visible bombings on Peak or Harmony today (just storm...

Pretty underwhelming is an apt description - especially compared to yesterday.

The wind (and possibly a temp spike) overnight really messed with the snow making it much denser and kinda funky;...

Where are you located? I have the OG (green) Factors that are due for replacing but Im not sure if these fit the same. Im in Squamish.

RIP Boot Ballet

West Bowl ripped out huge with a meter plus crown line - size 3.5 per Wayne Flann. Ran all the way onto lower Peak to Creek just above where Big Timber splits off. Took out multiple trees in the...

Size on gloves?

The RCMP could also really help the situation by actually doing tire checks at Alice Lake when there is a snowfall warning in effect. In 5 years of driving up from Squamish I have only seen them...

Sweet pow today up high. May 13th. What a season.

Pretty solid 9cm day.

Not sure where everyone was today. Disneyland for March break? Hungover from St Paddy's? Maybe its just that people start to forget about skiing once mid-March roles around?

Regardless the...

I have never heard of this brand before but it looks like a nice jacket that seems comparable to the Patagonia Nano Air (at a much better price). Does anyone have any real world experience with this...

I will add this to the list as well if you are looking for down: Burton AK Down Insulator.

I picked up last year's on sale in the fall and I am pretty happy with it. Love the vents for the same...

Where are you in BC? Im in Squamish and have a set of 2013 Cochise 120 with tech soles. Used a handful of times in excellent shape. Im not wanting to ship, but if you are around S2S Im sure we...

Wish this was always the case. Apparently some kind of mechanical. Hopefully it's closed again tomorrow. Might be another good one.

This - I was shocked given the volume of snow and high winds. I made the mistake of going down to Green thinking I could milk one more tree run until the Alpine opened, and missed being in the first...

Will take leashes if you will ship to Canada

Must have been a busy day at the malls yesterday, not that I am complaining. Great to get quick pow laps before the holiday hordes arrive.

It skied much deeper than 27cm. I can't remember the...

Not sure where everyone was today but it was pretty sweet; not as good as last Friday but still very good turns to be had. Right back onto the lift at Harmony all day long - Peak looked busy for a...

I can confirm that taking the day off work to ski low density pow in the sunshine was the right call.

Today was good and tomorrow should be even better as long as you stay above 1500m. Lots of bombing but alpine did not open so if the winds aren't too crazy you might luck out. Looks to get warm...

Hard to make snow when the freezing levels are above 1500m. It's feast or famine at Washy - when it's good it's really good, but not sure I'd be investing in anything up there long term with such a...

Im not clear on what version/size of the Slayer you were riding, but if it was the most recent (2011-2014) and they were both Large, then the Rocky is is actually the longer bike:

Reach
Slayer -...

Bump for Neko's procore fail at Lourdes. This system does not appear ready for prime time.

If youre looking for something more on the charger side (but still playful in their own way) I have a pair of 194 Lengend Pros that are in amazing shape. Good for everything you mentioned other than...

A quick heads up for the Canadian participants: I picked up the order from Intuition today and will get them shipped out by the weekend.

My understanding is that every lift will now have staff on hand reviewing the RFID scans via a tablet. As you walk through the scanner your picture pops up on the tablet so that staff can check for...

Where are you located?

Im in Squamish and can get down to Vancouver to arrange shipments to other canucks if the numbers warrant.
