I had 2 of those 4 things last season, and I had an excellent and pow fill season up right up until mid-March. I'm hoping to survive the hoards on Saturday to complete my comeback.

Have a happy and a healthy!

fun to smash some pow first runs of the season! kept it mellow, still pretty thin out there, fun to get on the shred sticks again!

The ditches were manageable, didn't hit much of anything. It was good.

Anything left for tomorrow for us citiots?

so they didn't even let us hike up to rabbit tracks, apparently some nasty layers under there. Anyone know what the odds of hiking are for tomorrow?

Slim and none from what I heard. 3ft crowns all over the place. No need for another JP type incident. Speaking of which, I can't believe somebody dropped that 20 ft'er right under red chair on Insanity. Landed pretty much to the ground right between a stump and a log. Either great placement or extremely lucky. I can't imagine the amount of trauma being wheeled into the clinic today.

AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE OI OI OI

forecast looks like Tuesday could either build a hell of a base, or get awfully wet. Tons of precip on its way.

all praise be to the greatness of Ullr! for he is strong and mighty and delivers the goods to those that are faithful! gather round and make copious sacrifices to ensure his good graces!

"don't be surprised to see additional snowfall in the 4-6 feet range those three days."

Heard from a little birdie that they mayopen up the Die Hard signline and have another closure further up Harmony.
Clownshoe?

Adequate





All filled in to the bottom

Yeah I'd say that was a good opening.

well played, Jay! hope you got 1st tracks down Dipsy Doodle! I had daddy duty today while the wife skied, but tomorrow gonna git some more! Anyone up for a tour?

it was a nice day for sure

heading to whistler on monday to pick up some new bibby pros (stoked), anyone reccomend a shop to mount some mfd alltimes on them? someone who has done them before is preferable obviously.

also, if anyone wants to show a guy around tues/wed., i'll buy the beer.

Skiis and Biikes sell the MFDs, so they should be able to mount them

Some nice sized surface hoar forming - 1 - 1.5mm sizes. Still thin over in Crystal but overall its pretty good quality all the way to the bottom

Had to wait 3 min for them to open that damn signline, and then watch Mile Douglas sled by a couple times........dunno how much longer he's up there, but the sled laps he were doing were a lot quicker than the 3 I did.

I got in the first round through Whistler Bowl/Shale this morning, but I was just skiing down from the shack. I moved out at about 11:30 am today, after 7 days and 6 nights. The whole thing was amazing! Wednesday's highlight vid will be a banger. We've been holding some good stuff back.

My first tow up the road was just to get a shot of the Avi shrapnel. The 2nd tow up was to look for my lost cell phone - I found it. It may have looked like I was just poaching laps but that wasn't the case. Hope y'all had a good day out there. It was a beauty!

Awesome, I don't know what you'd call those 6nights... promo? showcase? whatever. I'm sure you got some amazing footage. Looking forward to seeing more of it. You may have started something with this.. What's up for next year? Blackcomb? Stay in a tent?

Best part was showing what patrol does to make it all happen. Its not all glory!

first lift accessed day today...gotta say it was fucking sweet, cant complain about bluebird. I was a little surprised that they opened the peak for hiking cause of all the slide activity but Kalisto and myself hiked to the peak and picked our way down....this storm cycle thats hopefully coming is definitely needed but there was definitely some good turns to be had....
