    I broke my own rule (no new boards before 2 metres) and brought out the Super 7's today for the first time. Definately quite a bit stiffer than the regular S7's, but they ate up the pow today.

    Pits?

    With the snowpack the way it is (variable sketch), and the major avi on Fissile that sent a user to the hospital with a full rescue not long ago, I'm surprised anyone's touching this terrain (yet).

    Anyone else practice caution anymore?

    Right on! I'm breakin' out my new Super 7s tomorrow also.
    I'm in black pants, black jacket, black helmet, black backpack, black FKS 140, the brightest thing will be that big red R on the one ski :-)
    Find me and we can bust a few laps.

    sure man, I'm in a green/grey North Face with grey pants and lid, red pack. You riding whistler or blackcomb tomorrow? I was thinking of starting on Blackcomb and watching the lightboard for a Peak Chair opening. Can't decide though, think Peak will open?

    having fun in the cubicle, Phil? I'll be thinking of you tomorrow when I'm choking on snow. That's all the stoke I need!

    Gotta love W/B's forecast for Sunday:

    Sunday
    Snow, heavy at times.
    Freezing level near 1200m rising rapidly to near 2000m. Lows near minus 2. Highs plus 6. Alpine winds southeast 30-40 km/h. Accumulations near 40cm.

    Hmm... 2000 m freezing level. 40 cm... of rain? Better get a kayak.

    I'll be going up Whistler and usually head up Creekside.
    I won't hold my breath on alpine opening before I go to work at noon but you never know. Meeting a buddy at lightboard 9am. Anyone else (Todd?) is welcome, just gonna do as many as possible before noon (my record is 13, but that includes fresh tracks!).

    Fuck it, can't take the wait for the weekend, probably be on Blackcomb around JC and Crystal on yellow Armada ANTs. Renegades still not here or I would be taking them for a test drive tomorrow.

    I thought this was " Whistler Stoke and Conditions - 2010/11 " not second-guessing armchair quarterbacking douchebaggy comments thread or is that just TGR par for the course now. Or maybe you were there at that second on that slope and have some insight

    Side 1 - Avy report stated mod/mod/low on that day. Charge it brah! They got out fine so it was obviously fine.

    Side 2 - Never a bad thing to ask about decision making. Second-guessing can be very helpful, especially when we're talking about potentially dangerous situations.

    Not sure what side I'm on but it seems a bit early to play the douchebag card.

    The top 5cm was moving but that was about it. The conditions were amazing. Hate all you want... I could care less. I skied fissile on a blue-bird pow day and you didn't.

    I assume by "does anyone practice caution" you mean " two skiers made a calculated decision based on ski cuts, shit hooks, spoken information and skiing one at a time stepped onto 55deg of low density snow overlaying a mid-november facet-crust-facet layer"

    With the snowpack the way it is - slab consolidation and variable thin facetting layers sitting underneath a 5 day SH (PWL?) , I would be a little MORE concerned with any skiing up there from this point on.

    Fuck no, charge EVERYTHING all the time. Fat skis will ski it out, it's all good brah.

    Everything under Extreme on the avy report means send it.

    Wait, I thought Extreme was when you had to send it? Ride it to the grave, switch.

    S7's is the quivalent of the Cove Shocker in the bike park circa 1 or 2 summers ago. Oh, and 90% of the time with a rock shox boxxer on the front.

    As far as stoke goes... CANNOT wait for this weekend. (Yes, I'm stuck at work, it's a choice I had to make). I think Saturday will be a busy day. People be safe out there!
