Sat morning was amazing everywhere, sun exposed areas got cooked by noon. The trees were tits all day

Noticed PR was open, anyone sneak over toward Heather lift to see the carnage from the slide? I was having too much fun to take a look.

Who's up Thursday/Friday?

**SgtSkidmark** · 03-23-2011, 04:21 PM

I was looking for a copy of this book and someone was kind enough to show me how to view the entire thing online. Thought some here would like the resource.

That book was/is a great resource for getting me going in the BC around these parts. I formerly "used" it, but with the baby, my bc buddy moving south, etc. I have been strictly resort this season.

Here's the full edit from Saturday. Nothing great, just a lil something with some back slaps, over exposed footage, and the like

surprisingly soft snow (and several inches of it) on the front bowls tonight at MHM .... should be good tomorrow early in all the usual places

Yes, Thursday night at Meadows was a real sleeper. My expectations were low, but were exceeded tremendously. It was dumping at first. They picked up probably 4 inches or so, and then it cleared off. Thinking I need to get up there again soon!

It's waaayyyy good @ Bachy. Light snow, no lines ,little wind and prolly a foot of new. Today rated hell ya.

**Patarero** · 03-25-2011, 10:08 PM

^^Yeah Thursday night was fun. Went up just to dial in my bc rig and was pleasantly surprised. Spent a few turns in the white room.

from yesterday, my 6yo son - 6th day on the hill this year and first real season of learning to ski

lows:
some crying up on vista due to poor visibility & "deep" snow
he lost it when he saw a sign pointing to a black diamond and yelled at me for endangering his life
no steadicam on the iphone

highs:
awesome day on the hill with snow falling all day
he actually did vista twice with some blue runs (i said they were green)
first pow "turns" for the boy
he actually lasted into the afternoon
first descent - he lead the whole way off of easy rider
his first "jump"
slaying the half pipe
he asked some grandma in the lodge at lunch, "have you seen Gnar?"

sweet day overall

if you can stomach it, may i offer some dramamine & a video sampling of the day...[scrub thru if you must cuz it's almost 2mins, but let it play the last 10secs]

I love it. Way to get him going early (with both skiing and the appropriate attitude). How soon before he starts cornice-whacking?

**::: :::** · 03-26-2011, 06:50 PM

he needs poles first
but i'm sure he'd be all over it

**forty** · 03-26-2011, 07:37 PM

nice meadows vid and gnar kid stoke up there!

mulling over bachy on mon, skibowl looks like its setting up nicely for mon night as well
do i save the bachy voucher for spring skiing when skibowl closes up shop or take the semi-pow day when i can get it? decisions decisions...

**drdevon** · 03-28-2011, 10:41 AM

Looks as though the midweek warm blast will end the really, really good stuff for the year ... bring on the corn

**jonesy** · 03-28-2011, 05:03 PM

Bachelor was tits Monday. 12 new the Summit opened and face shots were available on request. Warm up on the way,BBQ/Beer/Tan.

**drdevon** · 03-30-2011, 09:26 PM

OK .... who's ready to talk spring skiing ... anywhere off-piste folks recommend a newbie try hiking for some turns?

**Patarero** · 03-30-2011, 09:54 PM

I still have hope for big dumps in April, long range shows a Canada trough digging in next week.

Tilly Jane is fun. White River up the middle is simple. Pea gravel is easy, park at HRM and follow the skin track. Adams probably won't become a single day adventure until mid June. Helens can be a crap shoot, but fun.

**drdevon** · 03-31-2011, 08:52 PM

I'm going to shoot for a couple of those trips this spring, Patarero

**jonesy** · 04-01-2011, 06:42 AM

FL going from 8000ft to 1500ft overnight. Got a few free Bachy tixs any mags want. Need a days notice.

**SgtSkidmark** · 04-01-2011, 07:17 PM

Jonesy, I'm staying at Black Butte this weekend and was just debating whether the conditions will be worth buying tickets on Sunday. Any chance I could trade a 12-pack for 2 tix?

**jonesy** · 04-02-2011, 07:37 AM

Hey Sgt, I'll be up at Bachy today for an adaptive program so let me check on tixs for Sunday. I'll get back to you when I get off the hill this PM. Are you going up Sat.?

**Patarero** · 04-02-2011, 08:07 AM

Looks like Wy'east finally slid. Big.

Not going up today, planning on tomorrow. Thanks for checking.

Meadows was fuuuuun today. Stormy, a few icy spots. But the bowls and shooting star were skiing exeptionally fun.

Tomorrow should deliver the goods too.
