I did something similar, just added another set of poles to give me head-high clearance by the van.

But definitely like the idea of something less ghetto.

Cool. Thanks.

Maybe this has been asked, but did you make your awning set up? It looks good.

Something I’ve been wanting to do for my minivan camper, for summertime.

Alberta crowds are finally spilling over the border as far as Kimberley. Lineups got busy by 10:30. Apparently worse later on but I bailed early.

Yep. Still soft on the backside but nice to rip some groomers this morning. No moguls = 12 runs by noon.

Good news, the quad chair reopened this morning at Kimberley.

I managed to work off a few beers hiking for two weeks to go lift skiing.

Will widening that latest stretch of highway speed up travel that much? Or mostly reduce accidents that now close the road way too often?

Wow. Disappointed to find out Pano-dude is just another covidiot. Another internet medical expert.

But I guess eventually most people online drop “the mask” and show their true nature.

Kimberley dodged the rain except for a thin zipper crust at the bottom of Tammy and the frontside.

Today was wind affected on certain exposures and still soft on others. We quickly figured out...

Crazy day at Kimbo.

After a foot of new we started hiking early to the backside as the quad is still broken down. On the way there we found out the power was now out on the hill and Tamarack chair...

Top 5 Day at Kimbo. Well worth the 20-minute hike/skin.

Quad chair from Kimberley base is broken down for at least a week. But they’re going to run the other chairs for people willing to hike /skin the 20 minutes to get to the backside.

Based on the...

Merry Christmas Rockies’ mags!

Nakiska FTW!

Tuesday early morning reports for past 24 hours:

SSV 20 cm new
Louise 20
KH 30
Fernie 31
Pano 34
Kimbo 36

Season started slow at Kimbo but is rounding into shape.

Tamarack chair is not running yet but you can ski a lot of its runs about 7/8ths down then catch the ski out trail to the frontside quad...

Canadians can fly into the States even to vacation. So some Snowbirds are having their RVs or vehicles shipped down to Florida or AZ by a transport company and then flying down to pick them up to...

Race prep (water injection etc) usually means it stays bulletproof and icy until springtime. Aka not a fun run.

Anyone have opening day reports from KH and Fernie?

SSV FB page:

“Dear Sunshiners,
We are pleased to report that under the new Alberta Government Covid-19 restrictions we will be allowed continue to operate our lifts under strict covid-19 health...

No splitting of hairs. You’re simply trying to insert meaning into the restrictions that was not placed there by the people making them. You’ve just done it again with a different aspect of the...

A social gathering is just that, an organized get together with other people to socialize. It does not mean being in the same place as other people. Otherwise walking down a sidewalk with other...

Sounds like NO day lodge access to eat, warm up?

“ Outdoor recreation is permitted, but facilities with indoor spaces except for washrooms will be closed.”

“ Outdoor recreation is permitted, but facilities with indoor spaces except for washrooms will be closed.”

New restrictions announced today.

So no day lodge access except for using washrooms?...

What does that have to do with Albertans coming to BC? The story you referenced says nothing about ski areas.

Good day!

That’s the one, although I’d only need to smaller 9000 model. I see Steveston Marine has it on sale.

Below is a sample of the much lower output of solar in winter. More northerly and cloudier...

Solar panels yield a lot less during winter. As you said fewer hours of daylight and much lower angle of sun, so unless you have panels that tilt at a better angle then you lose even more.

I...

Looks thin down low at Fernie. And there’s no real downside to opening a week later than “tentatively” scheduled. People are just happy there will be a season and if the hill doesn’t open until the...

Uploading does take longer with twosomes and singles but this was 8:30 at gondola start time. And people were not social distancing the same as they have been doing once they reach the actual corral...

Creekside lineup this morning at 8:30.

Ghetto solution but it worked for me. Move your thermostat so it’s right by the ceiling. 50 there will net you much cooler down lower.

Would like to help with an answer but I’m in Whistler until the season starts at Kimbo so not exactly a role model in all this.

Park at the far end of the parking lot everywhere you go?

Interview w WB guy in Pique says skiing on Red, Green, Garbanzo - Jersey, Excelerator, Cat Skinner.

Did she mean you can reserve after Monday, so Tuesday? Because Monday is not core season and when I was online this afternoon Sat to Mon were not reservable but Tue onward was.

Mute, what does it say for tire pressure on the vehicle? Isn’t it listed on that RV certification sticker if it’s a factory build?

If a home build then what’s the pressure listed on the driver...

Sure it could happen. I’m saying that in the scenario here, using the address is a simplistic screening system that could block people who actually LIVE in Whistler all winter but happen to have an...

So anyone who lives in Whistler for the winter including seasonal staff but who have their pass or card under their summer address elsewhere would be banned under your plan?

Nope.

Looked at WB’s FB page and numerous people reporting the same problem. So I think it’s probably on their radar to fix.

Are you basing that on your experience reserving at WB or some other Vail resort?

I could and did reserve today for next week Thursday, Friday (skipped Saturday) and Sunday. Monday the 30th and...

Posting this here rather than the Epic reservations thread because Edge Cards are unique to WB.

Went to reserve opening day and a couple days following but after adding Thursday to my “order” it...

I posted before seeing your most recent posts.

Yeah, annoying but no reason to feel you have to update.

Edited to say I recently installed some new version of Garage Band on my MacBook and had...

Why would any apps that now work stop working just because you can’t upgrade to Mac OS 10.16?

I have a mid-2012 13” MB Pro and am still running OS 10.14. It could run Catalina 10.15 but I chose...

Booked some days yesterday but thought I’d check this morning and just now there was no waiting room. Went straight to the reservation page.

When have they not run Creekside on opening day?

There’s a likelihood that when this stove reaches its end of life so will everyone in the vehicle it’s installed in.

Got an email about the refund I was supposed to get on my credit card from WB.

Too bad I charged a bunch of stuff to that card earlier thinking the credit would pay it off.

Hoping the gubermint...

Bike park looks sweet, Lee!

Yep, me too. $351 Cnd refund coming to my credit card at some point since I bought my 20/21 Edge Card right when they went on sale.

So in the April 27 announcement and email from WB it said they would be getting in touch with each person by email in the coming weeks to let us know what credit we get on a new pass/card. And that...
