65 cms of snow on windloaded aspects. Some Harmony AC closures lifted around 12noon. Not the lightest fluff but still acceptable skiing

I stand by my comment and Khyber knows I'd say it to his face: "Anyone else practice caution anymore?" is just an excuse to wave the electronic penis. Please. That's ivory tower quarterbacking at its worst. Basically calling someone reckless on the basis of one picture and a tour on a day when hazard was not high?
I don't know these guys and have no idea how they assessed that face or approached it but that's my point
Asking about decision making is fine. Asking about it that fashion is douchey. Don't even know why I posted this really. Not like it'll change anything.

Don't worry about it Lee, you are someone who get out there and actually does things that inspires people to do the same. To top it off every time I see you are at least as stoked if not more than I am to be out there skiing and you are out there for the right reasons. There is more to skiing than talking the talk on the net. It is easy to ski lines off decker and fissile 2 weeks after a storm when it is shralped, smoo'ed, sun baked and consolidated. But it is that fine line being the first one after things have settled a bit between stability and good snow that gives us the best runs of our lives.
And c'mon people! More stoke less drama! I am sitting here putzing around on a snowmobile and touring mellow glades in the koots and I want to see how things are filling in out there!

Just inbounds? Touring as well?
Head over to photo/video... tons of discussions about it.
Any AC done on Blackcomb today in prep for tomorrow? Or they going to be rocking it out in the morning?

Tech talk jjjjj....
I might be heading back through Vancouver this weekend. I need to drop by lens and shutter to check out some christmas stuff for my dad I can see what is available for bags when I am down there and let you know. I dunno, something Lowe Pro. If you are really stoked on taking lots of pictures I would get a bag like Phil or Amy have that straps to your chest, then your camera is always easy to access.

Whoa, I post a mere (admittedly snarky-ass) question & all this drama. Lee, perhaps it's even more douche to start playing Defence Attorney and jumping like an asswipe down someone's throat before asking what they meant, eh? And I'll say that to your face
@Geo -- no hate meant. Thx for the brief summary of the conditions.
So ya .. interesting propagation fractures today. But some sweet deep out there with a day long reset. Too bad I broke a pole, boot and lost a camera.
Keep the stoke rollin' -- didn't mean to interrupt your regular programming.

Had the usual runs off of green and red chair this morning, definitely some nice snow early on, then trying to get creative we headed up to do McConkey's trees with early exit, but got stopped by the avi closure half way up hwy 86 just at the flat spot. Never been stopped by that one, usually hit the closure near p2c. So we dropped in from the little boot back and hit the pillow field -> faceshots. The lower half was dust on crust and definitely sportier than usual, the devil's club is still sticking out in spots so another foot of snow to 1000m would help out a lot :-) Ski out to creekside is good.

I'll be up to Kanukistan Sunday night for a week at WB. Anyone willing to deal with a jong with few redeeming qualities (but a couple of surprises) during the week?
ObSETHed's, red Arc shell (or maybe a blue sidewinder), tan Omen with stickers from great satan ski areas, black pants.

We didn't actually have the first turns down Fissile. As we were cooking dinner at the Russet hut some solo skier just finished his second solo lap of the day and was heading back to Aus with a headlamp.

3 Glacier laps in before I had to go back to work. Not to shabby. 10-15th chair up on the 1st lap.
A young snowboarder ahead of us decided to drop the hollywood cliffs. Didn't go so well for him. The thud of his ass landing on the rock sounded bad. He started screaming like he broke his assbone. Patrol was just up the road when I let them know what I saw. They were in disbelief. Million to one shot doc...million to one.

Freezing levels looks like they have abated for Sunday/Monday. It will still be wet snow, but not rain (at least not above 1600m). Really fucking excited for tomorrow. New Billy Goats mounted up and ready to rip.

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 with 2 guards trying to hold back ignorant Joe Public.
The Suadan got raped buy poachers ignoring the closure( AC was done on the northside but not the southside today).....I think dispatch can even see them from the office.
Snowpack is scary, hope the freezing level stays down Sun/MonAlways do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.

^not too sure what you're talking about, I thought it was pretty mellow. Aside from the initial GE line up, it was pretty much ski on to the lift all day. I did see people hiking for sudan, but figured spankies was the path of least resistance. I actually stood around in diamond bowl looking at potential lines and didn't see anybody for ten mins. Zut Zut was snorkel deep all day long. The upper saphire entrance is a bunch of jagged rocks waiting to punch you in the face! Be carefull...
