Found an email in my junk folder offering mountain collective passes at par... advertised at $489 but you get charged $370 USD so mine came in at $503 today... close enough.

I'm pretty sure those Albertan's feel the same way about vandalism in BC as they do in Alberta.

I agree with this 100%

Edit: except playing hard... I'm too old for that. I'd just like to play a little.

Holy shit dude... then don't get the app.

It's a little invasive but nearly as bad as what you've suggested.

I haven't got the app yet but if I do I'll let you know if they ask for my first...

There will be multiple peaks. That doesn't mean we're not at the first one now.

But yeah, I don't know either.

Yeah that's a little unfortunate but this is a great example of the thinking that Trudeau can't do anything right for Alberta's. He did more than anyone else in federal politics to get the pipeline...

I think pivoting to a tech based economy in calgary would be great but that shit takes a long time to turn around... it won't just happen overnight.

And Kenny is fully invested in the oil industry...

Yeah that's all fair but it's now going to be bad... not just Alberta bad.

Oil future's trading at negative values last week and astronomical unemployment bode very poorly for Alberta for a while....

I hear you.

I'm glad I bought a fat bike this year... I'll keep doing that locally until they tell me I can't do that anymore either.

That sounds like great fun, actually.

I'm already a big fan of acid bike rides.

Sent from my SM-A505W using Tapatalk

I totally understand that.

I'm risk averse to begin with and would definitely be dialing it back even further if I went out in these times. And I'd accept that the risk to me is higher.

But...

I fail to see how getting outdoors is a problem, honestly.

I walk my dog at nose hill park and there are more people and cars then normal there, but it's so easy to keep your distance, both in the...

I personally don't have an issue with busy parking lots and it's easy to space pit once you're on a trail.

All the parking lots for nose hill park are busier than I've ever seen them but there...

Well at least I have an excuse to get fat if that happens.

Ugh... [emoji53]

^^^ fucking hell.

I'm not sure what risk you can really pose driving in your own car to do something on your own.

I'm guessing they're just so desperate they don't want to allow people to be...

I wouldn't feel guilty for touring I'd just accept increased risk and ski more conservative terrain to reduce that risk.

Which is why i want to tour the resorts.

But that's just me.

And then...

Holt shit... thanks for the info.

Sent from my SM-A505W using Tapatalk

Yeah fair... but I'd honestly rather ski the packed runs with less risk given what's going on now.

Sent from my SM-A505W using Tapatalk

Anyone here tour the resorts yet?

A friend knows a guy who was riding at sunshine yesterday but just wondering if it's busy there or not.

Trying to squeeze 1 or 2 more days of spring break traffic in first.

I'd totally go skiing but I'd stay out of the lodge.

But I agree with your suspicion that they'll all close before I get a chance.

Sent from my SM-A505W using Tapatalk

It sure does.

I think it's easy to forget because this is all so new. It would not be unreasonable for you to quietly point that out to anyone you see doing something like that, IMO.

The lake was skiing really well today!

Maybe but there's snow in the long range forecast for next weekend... we'll see if it holds up.

I have a weekend pass from the wife and jasper is on the maybe list... game time decision depending...

Is that observation sub peak? I think I've skied that and remember mellow runs.

Is there any relatively safe meadow skipping touring terrain on hwy 93N that would be suitable for solo skiing?

Don't worry, I won't hold you responsible for my decisions... just wondering if it's...

First day touring in about 5 years today.

Went to Vermillion on 93S. Some nice soft snow but the rain crust was a little punchy in places... overall pretty good.

Incidentally, and this may be...

Sounds like a typical day at castle.

Nice.

Maybe I should have waited but it's really tough on a powder day!

I still got 2 clean runs off top of the world so not bad at all.

I'd be interested in sickles but not so much in the regular camber S6.

I'll just treat it like a day at a new resort and poke around and trust my gut. It should be fun.

I'll be there to check it out.

Snow forecast is calling for rain at lower elevations but the forecast on the KH snow report page is suggesting snow to the village.

We'll see.

Thanks for offering yours as well.

Anyone in the calgary area have a ski shipping box lying around?

I'm trying to be the intermediary on a sale for another mag and I need to ship the skis but don't have a box myself.

Good to see that castle has good conditions... because they haven't updated their snow report in 10 days so I had no idea.

What's the deal with castle mountain's website this year... they haven't updated the snow report since January 11th?

Kickinghorse skied surprisingly well considering very little snow in the last 3 or so days... some pretty deep turns on north facing slopes.

Sent from my SM-A505W using Tapatalk

I appreciate the info... haven't toured in years but I have an ABS pack so this is good info while I hope to get into it again this year.

Thanks!

Sent from my SM-A505W using Tapatalk

I haven't bought one in a while... what do they cost to buy? Because $15/day sounds like it would add up fast unless you're only doing a couple/few days a year.
