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.

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.

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.

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.

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!The skills of evaluating evidence, posing questions and answering them, of writing, of mobilizing information in order to make an argument. I think all of that is important in a democratic society if people are actually going to be active citizens - Eric Foner
