1) Couldn't tell you.

2) Pulse lift. Low rider volume, so slow speed while people are loading and unloading. Speed it up between those points.

I didn't get a photo, but last week at Louise there was someone with three gopros on their helmet.

Louise. Ask for Simon K.

Does it matter how much people post online?

OP, do it. Spend a year or two. See if it fits your style. You'll regret it if you don't.

On a blue at Lake Louise.

I haven't made it out yet, I'm not sure if it's worth it for the moment, have some personal things to take care of, so need some time rather than working right away.

But I'm not complaining about...

Riding with a go pro. Especially if it's on a stick.

As of today, depends where you go. Surprisingly good overall for the time of year. Lower frontside is spring. Alphabet gullies are shit. Don't bother. Paradise is decent, depending on aspect. ER 6...

Upper 5 was open for a bit yesterday. I got a couple runs in before it was getting skied off and too many rocks poking out.

No lift lines today, skiing onto every chair.

Today the backside was great.

Frontside was so-so up top, getting worse the further down you got. A few CMs of heavy fresh on refrozen crud. Groomers weren't bad, lowest meadowlark just wasn't fun.

Earlier this week we set up some brushies for corridor training, but we couldn't close off the run. The attention and reactions it got from gapers was "fun."

Besides the hilarity of watching...

I had a first timer lesson a few weeks ago. Dude had friends who convinced him to get into backcountry skiing, so he bought the full kit. Shift bindings, touring boots, fresh Acr'teryx from head to...

But there's a good chance of bushwhacking.

Surprise pow day at Louise today, with typical Tuesday crowds. So good. First few runs could hardly see because of the snow coming down. Snow stopped just after lunch, and started again as I was...

Same here in the Great White North.

LL has set up an entire department for it, and hired people just to hang out in lift lines.

Gondi was down most of the morning at Louise. That made for some fun lines at Glacier and Topo,

You can, if passports are needed.

I didn't even get out of the base area. I was trying to wrangle the crowds and make sure people were wearing masks.

A total shit show. Busiest day this season so far.

Normally, the World Cup is here in late November. Men's downhill, a run on the frontside, is part of the course. There's a reasonably steep pitch on it. For the WC, it's all blown snow, possibly...

Another benefit of not having the WC is that Men's has been fun to ski. The last few days it's been a lot different than I'm used to, in a good way.

Yeah. Louise today was great. 24cm seemed about right.

Great snow backside, not so great visibility above treeline. Frontside snow was a bit wetter and heavier, but still good. It was odd having...

It's Louise. The sharks are never covered.

But really good conditions, especially for the time of year.

Yep. There were even a few passes pulled for refusing to wear a face covering.

I have mixed feelings on the expansion.

I like that west bowl will be inbounds, and easier to get out of.

I'm not sure on the new chair. I just worried it will increase backside traffic too...
