I haven’t been down to Kimberley recently , but it’s spring further North in the Valley (Invermere, Golden). The last two weeks have been warm. But, there was a big storm last night, so conditions...

We have some friends who moved to PG several years ago. They thought they’d just be up there for a few years, but now they’re settled and enjoying it. They live out of town, close to the bike trails....

Yum Son, a Vietnamese place downtown, is delicious and one of my favourite places to eat. Their soy sauce + peanut chicken wings are great. Good cocktails too.

This thread is fantastic! Great pictures! Thanks for sharing what looks like an incredible trip!

An unexpected 24 cm overnight in Kimberley yesterday. Still lots of soft snow today.

It looks like an old “Magister Stella”
Maybe the “Pro” version with the gauge.

Full on spring skiing across the front side of LL today. Anything not in the direct sun stayed frozen & firm.

High speed quad coming for Castle: They’ve reached an agreement to buy the Angel lift from Sunshine. I wonder if Castle will replace the old triple? Hopefully it doesn’t change Castle too much.
...

Right on. Happy to hear you had a good time

Yes. Cutting bushes, alders etc.

Skied Panorama today, and coverage was excellent for what has been a dry start to the season. Summit was open. Summer grooming makes a big difference.

Fun opening day at KH. Not as much terrain available, due to conditions, and the ski out below catamount, was heinous. But otherwise it skied well and everyone seemed happy for the first day back.

That Chelsea/City game was bananas. I thought City were just going to roll again this year, but would love to see Liverpool beat them in a few weeks.

Along the Powder Hwy, I’ve had a good experience with Purcell CMH in Golden. You can stack heli days if you want more than one day skiing. The second day is often better, as the guides have more...

It’ll be interesting to see how they do with the reboot. My understanding is that Powder are moving to a slightly different publishing model. Now putting out 1-2 larger issues per year, instead of...

We rented a Corolla wagon and were able to fit long skis in the car. (Hoji 195, and Super 7 188)

Terrible for the staff. As if the housing crunch wasn’t bad enough.

Now they’re saying someone’s been charged?
...

Second this. Barcelona and Girona are both great. Although parts of Girona were considerably more touristy than I expected. It’s good or bad depending on your perspective. In Girona, everyone in the...

195 Hoji
179 G3 District 112

The standard in MLS is MUCH better than it was when it first began, and in a few years, they might be able to compete, but I still think the worst team in the EPL would comfortably roll the best in...

Kicking Horse was good today. Much more snow than the 6 cm reported.

Agreed. As an LFC fan, that was fun.

Exactly. Castle has their cold weather policy on their website. The rationale for not opening is a combination of mechanical, and safety reasons .

If you’re flying into Calgary, Costco often sells discounted tickets to the various hills. But, I haven’t checked their availability this year.

Do you have an Ikon pass? Or Mountain Collective? ...

Right on time for Harbaugh to leave and take an NFL job....

Great thread. Thanks for sharing. Will enjoy following this winter.

I believe MAR is from the French, “Maroc”

Still not fixed. Maybe by the 3rd week of December?

From their Instagram: Tomorrow, Strawberry only. $68 lift tickets.

Consider Banff. Ski your legs off on the double chair at Norquay, followed by prime rib at Chuck’s steakhouse.

Last Frontier is offering 50% off if you’ve never skied with them before. I can’t imagine their return customers are too happy with this pricing , but it’s a great deal if you’re new to them.

It appears that Trek are also launching a light e-bike, using their Fuel EX as the template.

Waiting/Pre-hab is frustrating, but it might work out in your favour.
If you have a stiff shoulder going into stabilization surgery, it’s going to be even more restricted after surgery, and wearing...

This. Lifestyle, relative anonymity, and living somewhere warm goes a long way. Players are celebrities in Canada. Whereas I get the feeling that in Florida, or California, they’re just another guy...

Nah. Liverpool had a great season. They nearly won everything. But sometimes you hit the post, and/or run into a hot goalie. Courtois was fantastic today, and RM took their chance. Not much you can...

Lots of info on the area in this thread

Correct. Your skis will get beat up getting thrown into the heli bin, and if you crash + lose a ski, no one wants to wait around while you look for a missing ski. People do bring their own skis, but...

Nice prize! If you’re both strong skiers, I’d pick Bobbie Burns for the backcountry lodge. For me, that’s half the appeal of the trip. The lodges are special - Walk out the door to the helicopter. ...

Enjoy your day tomorrow! Haven’t skied LL much this year, but Summit - back bowls to paradise chair, are almost always a good choice.

Closed out Panorama today with some smooth, sunny groomers. Unfortunate that they are shutting down when there’s still plenty of skiing left, but people’s thoughts in the Valley have switched over to...

Great night for Vladdy. Go Jays! Go!

Fantastic photos! Thanks for sharing.
People on this forum are damn good at skiing....

What a collapse by PSG. They have got to be some of the biggest chokers out there. All that firepower, but terrible defending.
At 36, Modric is still fantastic.
However , I don’t think that...

Great TR. Thanks for sharing. Had never thought of Turkey as a ski spot. Food and skiing both look great.

It’s hearsay, but I have also heard about a likely block/ convoy near the Banff park gates on Saturday

Usually people split up skis to avoid having them stolen?
Look around and you might spot the matching Stockli on a nearby rack.

He also plays for Red Star Belgrade: So he likely knows a few things about chest thumping and salutes...

Borjan /Canadian keeper is a gem. Goes down with dodgy injuries whenever Canada needs a breather. It’s about time that Canada went all Concacaf, and frustrated the Central American teams for a change.
