Ski Boundary area generally isn't a big deal, its closed/permanently closed areas that they are concerned about. The CBC closures aren't new, they've just beefed up the signage. It's kinda lame, but my impression was that they're really just trying to prevent people from blindly following tracks and getting in over their heads.

Ya don't forget, PC is still PC even if it's behind a boundary.
Granted your less likely to get pinched once its boundary, but they seem pretty tight about this one.
There certainly seemed to be more people getting stuck on the cliffs in there this year.

Apocalypse or Puppy Chow is the word. But like Clownshoe said: PC is PC, regardless of what time of year. Originally Posted by Neuro

The tree skiing below the Rescue Road down to the golf course is pretty nice at the top, but kinda flat near the bottom.
Just sayin....

Wasn't there a serious avalanche that started in the CBC PC area that almost took out people on the rescue road.
I think that's the issue with those closures.
I always wondered what skiing in the hey bud area would be like...Looking to ride the shore but don't know where to go?

The frenchies love that zone... they skin up in the am and sneak out on the way home! Some of those guys wear their banning like a badge of honor, so threatening to ban someone, who most likely has already been banned, isn't a very effective deterent! Originally Posted by Clownshoe

Any mags skiing Blackcomb today? Got a day of skiing solo up there today and don't really know my way around.

This is a complete shot in the dark, but is there anyone in or around pemberton that's heading north on 99 today? A friend and I are stuck in town, unable to get a ride 20 km north to the trailhead.

Though I didn't get a chance to meet any mags on Blackcomb last Friday I had an awesome solo shred day, got some decent pow turns, some awesome slush turns and even some sun.
I'd really like to give a shout out to the few patrollers I had the chance to ride up the lift with as well. On three separate occasions I rode up with pro-patrollers that were more then willing to give me great beta and were super friendly. I'm sure it didn't hurt that we all knew a ton of the same people as the community is rather small, but it was nice nonetheless! Awesome display of hospitality!
After pow laps I got to do two laps on Half Nelson in Squamish. Why the fuck don't I live there?Local Golden, BC area rep for Bluehouse Skis. Shoot me a PM if you'd like to try a pair when you're in the area!

Love ski bike days. Skied Blackcomb till early afternoon and then hit up the Lost Lake trails. Conditions Saturday were better than I expected. I'm not ready to give up on ski season yet. Originally Posted by Gripen
