Yes. In mid December, Sunshine and Lake Louise are more reliable and will likely have more skiing. Pano is better as a day trip from Banff. Go check it out, and then decide if you want to spend a...

Second this. Just got a df54 and have been very happy with it so far.

Wow. Thanks Lee. That’s a lot of research.

Good deals. Thanks for posting

We bought one for my father in law. He likes it for situations exactly like you said: On the road/camping etc. I’ve used it 1-2 times, and it makes a tasty coffee.

They’re going to go out to Slovakia... So disappointing.

On a much better note, Canada are through to the knockouts at the Copa! I’m still adjusting to the idea that Canada are 1/2 decent at...

What a turnaround. Oilers have out scored Florida 18-4, since the 3rd period of game 3. Monday’s game should be great!

Thanks Casey for posting !

Evening ride after the rain.

Stay in Banff. Free shuttle bus to the hill, or an easy drive.
Many good restaurants in town.
Lots of info in this thread.

This. Mount on the line, and go skiing.

No touring for me this year. G3 districts sat unused

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...

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.

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...

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...
