Arbutus has Yeti/Spec Enduro/ and another boutique brand taht I forget right now
Evolution has V10's - best in town, likely a brand new bike right now.
Village sports has Spec Demo's - also good....

awesome

Might be the latest pow day I can remember. -8 at horstman at the moment

I believe it depends. I had a text from a patroller buddy saying that you could skin from Jersey on certain days, but never saw the signs say anything but closed. I also have been pretty much just...

Not lately. They have signs at the bottom of the tbar pretty much daily that prevents hiking. The only current guaranteed exit right now is up body bag. They've also had signs forbidding hiking from...

Summer ops is a big fat no to skis.
Decent turns up in the alpine yesterday. Slushy down low. Actually felt like Spring.

Yeah had some decent turns up high yesterday too. Think the backcountry will be amazing if we could get some vis before the deluge on Sunday.

What MY is that?
I wonder if based on the location they could say its from a flying rock or something.

Thnk they went in 4 minutes or something wild like that.

Yeah even the font screamed that Kevlar had been hacked. If you could read that content and take it seriously i feel bad for you.

Pisteurs are probably eating duck confit and drinking pastiche somewhere anyway so unlikely...

Im hoping this a hacked account post...

Tech talk jong

No thats exactly what im looking for! Had some of the old TLD ones and they were so hot and heavy. Much prefer the lighter weight stuff.
Thanks everyone, will post when it shows up

Are they super heavy duty dh pants? theres another pant with 13" inseam that goes past the knee too.

Anyone had any recent experience with their gear? I have a winter pro deal which is luckily still open and need some biking gear. Prices are good, but I can also get deals on poc/mons thru a store...

Great shots.

Definitely worth heading up Ray. North facings holding good cold powder as Maximus mentioned. I think every day will be excellent touring this week.

7th engine is fried. Being replaced hence why Glacier is running.

I think prices have gone up considerably these days.

Yeah its an interesting gamble. I've owned the sled for 4 seasons. Not super well maintained but still was running good. Track is in decent shape. Clutch serviced done about 15 days ago.

Didnt test, just when pulling. Can def feel both. I think the 4k is for a full rebuild of everything. I mean its got 6000 km on it and isnt in bad shape, but to me it seems like a gamble to fix.

Just want to give a shout out to all the people keeping this thread on track with real data, articles and educated opinions.

Maybe i just rode mid week? Or have my timescale mixed up. Or am just dumb. Likely the last two.

@WG
When i was injured i was pretty anal about my diet. I was a chubby kid and didnt want to go back to that side of life. I did IF all though it wasnt by design or wasnt really known to me back...

Yeah this is interesting to me too. I have been working 6-2 and hustling to make last 7th and get out of bounds. I've been hit by a no hiking up hill sign on the way to the stupids 3 times in the...

I mean, on anything other than a pow day its really all you need open. The mountain is pretty much deserted from here on out and you can get everywhere from there. Im just fucking pumped we get til...

Hey sled mags.
I think I blew the bottom end of my sled. Won't start, check engine came on and then shut down abruptly. lots of smoke etc coming out the side. Still got compression when i try and...

I def remember seeing you in line at Glacier chair on a May pow day many years ago, but yeah over the past 5-8 years or so its been predominately 7th and Jersey. I've ridden a lot of the spring (when...

Yeah. Interesting that we actually get some details, and that there was cornice debris involved as well. Lucky outcomes all round.

Yesterday was wild by closing. Today is going to be interesting to see if they get anything open. Thank fuck its blackcomb that is open.
edit. Be a good day to beep inbounds friends.
also this on...

Well that was a hell of long a weekend. Great snow, lots of stability and the intermittent light seemed to keep the jokers away. Not many shots cos when the weather clears for you, dont fuck around,...

More sickness boys!

If you're planning on just bashing resort laps maybe not, but i feel like the backcountry has been not terrible. Did DOA on saturday and apron was good. Decent reports coming in from the duffey too....

Exactly. Its been a tough year with now 4 fatalities on the hill.
Alpine closed all day on both hills today due to "weather". I really hope this isn't going to be the new normal...

Edit: I see...

Good list. Glacier slide is nowhere near DOA. That guy is fucking lost if is looking for DOA around there.
The Sapphire one was definitely not "on the traverse into sapphire". edit: (I guess its on...

Ya.
Cornice failure i believe on West Ridge which had a tragic ending. Bootpacker on blackcomb glacier above the windlip. Never seen that go before, and they had results above it to the lookers...

Looks awesome.
Could you imagine one of those lifts in the US. Holy fucking lawsuit.

Brutal. Vibes to all involved
I have no idea how your Coloradbros backcountry ski with shit like this. I just can't fathom it. Looking at those images i would probably ski that slope in high...

Paige said everything pretty much perfectly from a Whistler side of things.
Summit: They did patrol they couldn't ride black diamond trails at work and patrol told them to fuck off and that they...

lol wtf you smoking out in tennesse. Its Whistler. I've seen it go thru 3 sets of owners and mostly the changes since vail took over have benefited me as a local. I'm currently debating a spring trip...

TBF they have been pretty good at Whistler Blackcomb. They did fuck up some management decisions, but the past 3 seasons I think they have done amazing with what they had.
This would make me more...

I think she brings up good points about creativity. Its like a totally new, ultra gnar venue with decent snow. Should be a great show. Im already worried for Aymar. He'll probably try and gap the...

FKNA!

Sounds like a great trip! Glad you had fun.

I love blackcomb with every bit of my jaded heart, but that venue is good for kids or huck and pray and thats about it, plus Its like 6-8 turns at best. I really wish we had a decent venue. Maybe in...

Ya i'd agree. I mistakingly bought a 4 season tent and for the most part it's over kill, heavier than necessary etc. I almost only ever camp in good weather as well, so makes it even more useless......

Great weekend out there. Rode pretty much every slack area on blackcomb over the weekend. Somehow managed to get lucky with vis on every single run other than our Sunday sunset effort.
One gorbpro...

Shhhh bro. Its hard enough to get a beer at handlebar as it is these days since the pizza oven has been in. Don't need more competition!
FR though, its awesome in the upper village, Portobello is...

Gonna get DRTY LINE tattooed on my fingers.

Patrol probably got asked to put the sign there cos a bunch of Vancouver punters complain every pow day that people dont wait inline for spankys. Its...
