I know this is the wrong place, but the touring setup I bought in July is now in Invermere and not getting here anytime soon, and one bootpack from JC to DOA was enough to last me the season, so if anyone in the area has a dynafit setup they are trying to get rid of please let me know (ideally looking for something 185-ish with radicals or verticals).

There is this thing call "shipping".
Have someone wrap your skis up in a old blanket and toss them on Grey Hound.

That was the plan, two months ago... The shipper has been slow at communicating and has been in and out of the hospital for the last few weeks. I bought the skis in July while they were in whistler, didn't get them then, and I'm tired of waiting.
Found some amps, so i think I'm setLast edited by filthyfrenchbum; 12-19-2014 at 12:44 PM.

Dear W/B Marketing
Please piss off with the all day radio ads promoting 10cm of snow and how the whole vertical mile of skiing is open and awesome.
First the lower mountain is bare.
Second now every Joey in the lower mainland is thinking it's deep and they need to get up there.

Jessie,
Awesome fucking shots! Stills don't get the credit they deserve since Gopros arrived, but watching that was a couple of minutes well spent. Who's the tune? And are you back in Van area? Let's get some, not waist deep alder, turns in.
Cheers dude and nice stoke.

Play safe out there. Hero to zero in a nanosecond with this early season snowpack. Some experienced skiers spent the night unexpectedly around Oboe/Piccolo.

I have new skis and no rock skis - want to help save me a core shot? Any one have any guidance on the entrances to the rocky starts? How's Bush Rat? Pacalolo (sp?)? Cirque?

The alpine is pretty well caked. Stay out of trees and anything below 1700m and you'll be fine.

Entrances are fine. It's the exits of runs you need to watch out for. Spankys has tons of snow up high, but the bottom is full of sharks. Bush rat is full of debris at the bottom. Pakalolo is fine top to bottom.

Did anyone go up to Keith's over the weekend (20-21st) or planning on going up soon??
I somehow managed to forget a ski in the parking pullout on friday night. Ya, I know, how the hell do you even manage to forget a single ski. But I did. And it's a DPS wailer 112 with dynafits - pretty much my dream ski. Posting here incase anyone was up there and saw, it, grabbed it, or is going up and would be willing to look around for me. I went up saturday night but the pullout had been plowed so it could be buried in the bank. Of course I didn't bring a probe to do a proper search.
On a related note, has anyone worked with Eric the ski finder guy in whistler?

Buddy and I hired out his metal detector rather than using him as he will only go to certain spots (wouldn't go anywhere near cbc where my buddy lost his). DIdn't find it, but heard from others that he does a pretty good job, especially in open terrain as opposed to trees etc.
Skied Pakololo yesterday, only a couple people had skied it by midday! We were eyeing up the curl but limited vis made us think otherwise. nice snow conditions up there. Trees over on 7th are definitely filling in and very much skiable pretty much down to the chair. Couloir was soft top to bottom too. Managed a couple of lines far skiers left of ruby bowl (can't remember name of the line), great snow up top, but patchy/icy down below.
Has anyone skied bad attitude yet? Is the traverse good to go?
