CDN Rockies 2010-11 roll call and stoke

[time2clmb]

Posted 2 days sooner than last season. August is over, snow is currently falling up high and is adding a little bit ontop of what fell up high a few days ago. I like the trend. "Summer" has been great but don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out

[powbear]

About time too! Mrs and I went for a hike up to Chester LAke yesterday and there's some starting to stick in K-country too. Not much and it's up really high, but it's starting.

Today
Periods of rain. Risk of a thunderstorm late this afternoon. Amount 5 mm. Snow level 1900 metres rising to 2500 metres this afternoon. High 9.

Tonight
Rain becoming mixed with snow overnight. Risk of a thunderstorm early this evening. Rainfall amount 5 to 10 mm. Snow level 2200 metres lowering to valley bottom overnight. Low plus 2.

I may be living in Canmore this winter.

Purchased my early-bird pass for KH yesterday.


Hells yeah.

[time2clmb]

Also got my early bird mid week pass for Kicking Horse. Figured if i'm going to drive to LL, might as well keep going. Going to be a riot exploring new (to me) terrain out there this winter. Also getting a SSV pass. Getting antsy already.

[That was Pontus]

Blown most of my coin the last two years on a KH pass, this year it's finally going to tuition. Going to see if I can do a season and not spend a dime on lift tickets. Time to beg, borrow, steal, and skin my way up the hill

Saw the snow on the mountains to the west of Calgary. Got excited, realized it has rained for the last 4 months in the eastern rockies and its bound to dry up here soon. Hope I'm wrong....


bought a whistler pass instead...

? That post was empty to me... (but had some code for an image that couldn't load)

It was a shot of the webcam at Lake Louise from last night showing a very wintery looking scene with no ground showing under the snow. It's melted off now though.

[Canada Guy]

Got my pass for SSV, now I just need the card for Revy and KH and some new winter tires.

I was up in the Healy pass area this weekend doing some scouting around and it looked like there was some snow sticking in the higher elevations already. Bring on the snow!

[iscariot]

Getting a student pass for the Horse. Living in Golden most of the winter.

Rode Fernie this past weekend and it snowed up high, with snow on peaks all the way back to Calgary.

[Ramsey]

I'm in with a SSV pass and a new home in Canmore.... Hopefully I find the skis among the boxes before the season starts.

thanks to mtnlion, backscratcher and others that put some recommendations my way when I started looking for a place. As it happens, didn't use any of them, but was still good to get things moving. I'll shout you guys a beer at some point.....

Was pretty nice waking up to snow on the Three Sisters on our first night in the place....

f2f and others that put some recommendations my way when I started looking for a place.

are you sure i helped with this? you probably mean t2c (time2climb)? i'm exactly the wrong person to recommend anything on canmore as i'm still a jack-off newbie gaper from cowtown

OK... I re-read the old thread and edited my post.... beer offer withdrawn from f2f and passed to backscratcher!

[DougW]

Purchased my early-bird pass for KH yesterday.


Hells yeah.

Pass again at KH. Way cheaper this year for Albertians and BCers who aren't "local" . Saved about $200 compared to last year with SUPER early bird rate ( new this year ) and regional rate ( also new this year). Still sucks to be a late pass holder from Sask or Ont..

[f2f]

beer offer withdrawn from f2f

that'll teach me to keep my mouth shut!

[time2clmb]

^lol, that'll teach ya.

It will be hard for you to get that beer from Canmore to Buttscratcher in Calgary. You can pass it off to me if you want, i'll "make sure" he gets it lol.

Nice Try....

[alberta_hoser]

I'm convinced if I keep buying enough gear that I don't really need it'll just keep getting colder and snowier. I'm running out of trailers to watch, better get back on ebay.

Oh no ... he's related to Randy or Ricky !!!

Hey Ramsey, glad to hear you got a place. Looks like it could be an epic season so you picked the right time to move. Elninahhhhhhhhhhhh. I will take that cold beer after a day of Pow skiing when your game.

^lol, that'll teach ya.

Ya just like the last 24 you said you would pick up for me. All I got were empty cans and crusty drool all over them.

2TC I got that email you sent to Sentinel, pretty funny. Have you heard from him?

Looking forward to the season as I'm sick of the summer biz. Got the KH and SSV pass so I see many days in the KH backcountry and the parkway with filler days at the shine. Should be a blast

Less than fifty days of work to go and counting.
