My biggest fear is it being a US decision to shut everything they own down again. Similar to how every restaurant in town were slamming busy all summer but GLC Merlins and Dustys were all closed...

"Fuck now Atwell is gonna get tracked so quickly bro"

damn i read that as October 2021. That would be a big call...

gonna be EPIC!

this is it.
just hope we either get round 2 out of the way like right now, or it doesn't happen. Definitely not over Xmas.

Calling for a La Nina winter

Is it basically just sold to the guy/s who are currently running it?
Good idea for those guys, they grew the hell out of a brand and hopefully can keep it all going.

Rode LOTS and the Ninja...

Savage Ride Todd!

Grizzly warning on Pot of Gold/Ninja lakes as of 3rd August.
Rode LOTS yesterday was in great shape.

Nice bike stoke from everyone there.
My legs are still struggling with 1000m days but girlfriend is forcing me up LOTS tomorrow morning no matter what. Got to get ready for chilcotins somehow.

Some covid era pics i never posted as everyone was a little touchy.

Heres a link to my trip to the tantalus this spring.

Just fucking beat it out of this thread bud. Nobody cares what you have to say.

Are you actually this fucking dumb IRL or do you just play dumb on the internet?
The guys is breaking the law, gets caught after endangering literally every person he comes in contact with during...

A story I heard from a friend whose roommate is a WBP patroller:
Guy breaks his collarbone riding the bike park. Patrol attend the scene. Ask them if there is anything they need to know.
He says he...

Showcase isn't glacier where the tbar is run. for the most part. I assume it was already melted out there when they built it?
Maybe something from base of showcase up over prime rib.
It must be...

Oh for sure. Its whats keeping me here/going right now without much chance of real work til summer next year.

It'll be interesting to see what happens this winter. Can they afford to run both mountains at full capacity with no americans (if it comes to that, and currently i don't see the border opening)....

I got an American friend who married a Canadian girl. He had his US plates on for 8 years after he lived here for whatever reason. We had this exact conversation. Please don't automatically assume...

It won't take a miracle. It takes a concerted effort by everyone. New Zealand are 100% open (except borders), can do anything they like. No social distancing required. Sydney isn't far behind. Social...

Perfectly said.

Agreed. Starting hydrated is key. Chug a liter on the way from whis to pemby, and its a 1 water bottle ride no problem. Unless you're like my girlfriend. she will drink a full 3L camelbak on that...

Can you guys just all fuck off with this shit. take it somewhere else...
PG is literally the worst person on this whole board. Please stop getting involved with his bullshit.

Horstman tbar is being dug up right now. Currently no plans for replacement.

4 at a time except for Garbo which varies depending on how many lifties. But they could switch to 2, just with longer lines.

My take on this as someone on the battle lines in Whistler when it comes to housing.
Lots and lots of places came up April 1st. They are mainly the places that people who are here for 6-12 months...

I dont think its going to make money, but hopefully the town survives. One of the issues is we won't have an influx of front line workers for the winter to man all the stations on both mountains. We...

100% exactly what they are trying to figure out. I would expect late spring (post telus fest). Just peak chair or 7th.

in other news.
Grizzly spotted in Whistler Cay according to the pique.

The issue isn't that its just WB. Its that is every single person who bought a pass. (though maybe the don't have edge cards elsewhere, i've never looked into it). There is also likely the people who...

From what I can tell (maybe Lee Lau can chime in) Vail are seriously hurting. If they don't make any money from ticket sales next year for WB then maybe it will be too much for them. I think your...

Was this right after the storm snow or later in the week.
We cut a couple of cornices, aggressive ski cuts right above convexities, dug pits etc. We saw a little bit of a slab on April 2nd but...

Hmm it wasnt that dry of a March was it? Or was all that snow in April? I mean it wasn't pure chaos but was still decent.
I think alot of really big lines would have got skied this past week if not...

How about these temps though? No end in sight either.

What an odd winter. No snow, then a sketchy af snowpack til well after Xmas, then some amazing times, then this.

Seems like its all over now anyway. BC Parks just got officially shut. Avalanche danger would be super high right now. Hoping to see Hanging roll go massive from my patio.

I agree. We created a little group chat and basically formed our own mini SAR team to help out with a rescue if needed. at least 50% off us have WFA training. I don't think one of us have posted a...

Dont think ive ever skied so many 2000m+ days in my life. Its been pretty dreamy this past few weeks.

Ya im also thinking its unlikely to happen.
Very worried about ski season next year and to be honest my general livelyhood. The possibility that things won't be back til normal til there is widely...

If any regulars are looking for obs feel free to pm me.

I get the feeling, and am hoping, that Vail will do something like transfer them forward for next year. No matter what they do, people are still gonna hate them though.
Anyway, some recent obs. M/F...

Lee left out the Creekside route which goes up the road you climb to access kashmir, almost all the way to H86. Took me 1.5 hours to get to the go no further signs. lots of people out. think they are...

So much great South facing terrain out there. Just always a little spicier!

We also got out to the tantalus for a couple of days, sunday and monday. As scblurlt mentioned weather was phenomenal. Cold af & sunny. Convective flurries on saturday afternoon resulted in 20-40cms...

Do you mean both South & East facing or just south east facing?
Darkside was pretty busy too. Spankys was mauled quickly. fucking tbar not running seriously fucks things up.

Well today was pretty fucking sweet.

Not widely available better deals. Hard to tell on the weather. Last forecast i saw was for thursday night to be the dump. its still so far away i wouldn't bank on anything until later if you can.
...

Nice. Symphony headwall can hold some decent turns.
Gramboh, i think your spot on. The blackout weekends almost have the opposite effect, quiet on those weekends, but the other weekends are crazy....

Not really. Been everywhere up here. Pique/Chief/FB groups etc...

Whats with all the Saturday pow days this year. what a load of shit! :cussing:

Having apres'd in europe i think its sweet that there is something euroish going on. Its cool if you wanna sit down and drink quiet beers, but some people love getting fucked up in the afternoons...
