This was from Sunday. Best way was doing a few more side steps and doing the high traverse, not lower down. It was a gong show of people taking their skis off and struggling with the lower travers....

Miracle March, Magic March, Marchuary, March Madness …. well that was an epic few days. Was worried Peak was not gonna crack today. Felt like a weekend day with the crowds. Hoping to head up...

Ski season is back in session! Glad I got 3 days to work the ski legs. Saturday was the best. Amazing what 20 cm of fresh can do. And the views of the sunlight hitting the valley clouds on the...

Thank goodness I got to Excalibur early even though I knew the 10 am start, and had a pow pow fun day. I heard the lines went into the Village and didn't realize the Blackcomb gondi was closed....

Wish this was the week we were in Terrace :cussing:

Heading up to the Dome, Shames. The rain runnels were big from the rain the previous day.

Had a great first trip visiting friends in Terrace considering the weather we got. Mixed ski touring days at Hankin and Shames with day trips to Nisga'a Memorial Lava Bed Provincial Park (why have I...

^ It's a bit f*cked here too! Do you know if there is a MIN report about it on the Avalanche Canada.

Oh and it's Ms. Spark btw.

I miss covid times when we score 1 bedrooms condos or Village central hotel room for $125/135 per night.

We'll have an AWD with snow tires. Didn't realize there was two trail heads the Hankin and Evelyn so clearly I need to do a bit more research.

I am finally heading to Shames! Yay!! My partner and I fly out January 24 and we'll be there till January 30. We'll be at Shames Thursday. I have a pair of the 2022 special addition DPS 100RP Pagoda...

I was close to the front in the Creekside corral so was so surprised when we hadn’t loaded yet till we got word of the ice removal problems. Once we loaded, we were ahead of the crowds and not stuck...

Devastating. At least 150 people dead. I can't stand big crowds but this will make me even more aware of my surroundings.

Awesome day indeed! My partner lucked out with birthday pow today :biggrin: More in store for tomorrow. woot woot!

Looking powderlicious! We didn't make it last year, but will be booking flights for end of January. Fingers crossed our trip happens.

Thanks for the beta Clownshoe! Stoked to get the season started. We're heading up Thursday skiing Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Partner is aiming for 50 skis days this season for his 50th birthday...

Tentatively planning a trip in the new year, the last week of January for about 10 days. Tentatively because of covid19 of course .... but looking for some advice on how to breakdown our ski days....

Agree! No wonder this one gets no action. Thought everyone was wishing for pre-covid times with the old one.

Bump .... just did the Antartica Pensinsula trip with Ice Axe Expeditions for my 40th and I would highly recommend it. It was truly epic and so unreal. The place is incredibly spectacular and...

That's what I have been thinking the last few years about my dad, but he's now 81, still ripping, even though he had some health issues. We are heading to Zermatt in February.

I'm jonesin' to ride the white stuff but a conference Friday to Sunday has me now patiently waiting and a bit of time to figure out the pass. Finger crossed I can shape my work schedule to take some...

Harmony closed last 2 days = deep powderlicious wellness day. Happy I booked off today to play & avoid the weekend crowds :D

I think it ran from about 9:45 - 1:45 pm.

Trying to decide between either doing my AST 2 with Canadian West Mountain School http://themountainschool.com/info/avalanche-advanced.html#3 or Whistler Alpine Guides...

Blackcomb was a nice surprise today all things considered. Deeper than expected. It was nice to get some good pow turns! Glacier and Showcase stopped running around 2 pm bc of the high winds. It was...

Stoked to be spending my first Christmas at home in BC. Heading to the Island to celebrate with family. Skibrain and I were hoping to ski Mt Washing to over the holiday ... no packing ski gear for us...

Harmony stayed closed today.

Can't believe I am riding instead of skiing at this time of year. This day last year was my 3rd pow day .... oh, and the day I broke my wrist.

WOW! FKNA!

Hot damn!! Great mission!!

Decided to change things up ... Baker face shots for me today!
Oh DEEP pow ski days, how I missed thee! Feels sooo good to be back.

I wasn't commenting about the conditions in the mountains. I live in Vancouver ... I fully understand no snow in the city doesn't translate to no snow in the mountains.

Heard there's been no snow on the ground in Terrace since the beginning of January which is very unusual and unexpected. Was hoping to get up there this year but looks like I'll be moving my plans...

Dear Ullr,

I see that you have been waiting for me. You did not tease me with any big snow storms and the WB base is not too different then the day I had my fall. I am ready now. Bring on the...

DAMMIT powder11!! I should not have come here ... but could not stay away. I'm out for another 4 weeks. A little ski mishap and I've got a broken right wrist and sprained left hand.

Can hardly...

Could take time off this week but will save my pow wellness days for when conditions improve. Bakers opens tomorrow. Think I'll head somewhere this weekend to make sure I haven't forgotten how to ski.

I've been watching the weather and was so surprised to hear their opening this weekend. Their current base at Pig Alley is 25 cm - haha.

I'm just passing through there on my way to Vancouver - not planning on riding there. I'll PM when I get into town. Thanks!

I'm leaving this Friday for a 2 week road trip to hike, bike and camp in the Rockies. Tentative plans are to hit Golden, Canmore, Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper, Mt Robson, Blue River, and back to...

Awesome TR!! What an epic season. Nice work in scoping out a heli free zone in Haines to earn your turns.

Love ski bike days. Skied Blackcomb till early afternoon and then hit up the Lost Lake trails. Conditions Saturday were better than I expected. I'm not ready to give up on ski season yet.

haha - that was great!

my DH bike is gettin' less and less love in and around the Shore.

Here's some information on NSMB.com that might help:

The ski season that keeps on givin'

I've skied new lines that I have never done before :D

Looks like you found the goods!

I've been up there to mountain bike and hike, now I need to plan a ski trip.

Nice jobsite!

Last year I skied pow for the first time on my b-day (May 12th) since moving out to BC. I'd totally would love a redo of that this year.

Awesome. I love adventures with my girl friends.
Some of the ladies are on FREESKIER magazine trip. Hope an article gets written up.

haha, Lee is everywhere!

Fully enjoyed this TR. I agree, awesome!
Nice work guys. Way to get after it!!

Here's a route-finding exercise from the CAC Online Avalanche Course

Heard from a friend that the long-line rescue on Friday was in the Christmas trees. Heard two skiers, friends, collided in the area, then one hit a tree breaking both legs (bilateral tib-fib breaks).
