How is Sunshine skiing these days? Is everything open for slushcup and can get some good runs in?

Haha you didn't come skiing down the trail/path that goes up to the Lake Agnes Tea House did you? :wink: Now that I think about it that might be pretty fun, could probably get some good speed...

I burst out laughing

Also, you guys will probably like this. Pretty awesome video new video just made by Tourism Alberta. I love the song. Some great powder shots from the icefields parkway?? Anyone recognize the...

Nakiska was actually a lot of fun today, better than I expected. The line got to 3/4 people ahead MAX and the snow wasn't too icey until later in the day. No rocks and basically no kids. It was...

Pics of girlfriend?

Calgary Herald has the story. http://www.calgaryherald.com/Sunshine+closes+runs+after+patrollers+stage+walk+protest/4135072/story.html

Oh boy another one. vibes. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-columbia/story/2011/01/16/bc-kokanee-park-avalanche.html

Apparently inbounds avy at Fernie

haha huge generalization. Do you really think that a poltical boundary has an effect on slednecks in pickup trucks? I've seen just as many BC plates blow by me as AB on drives to Radium and would...

Ugh :( That makes me sad.

So what's open at the backside of the Lake these days? Is ER 7 at least open? I assume 6 isn't...

I've been away for the past 3 weeks and can't wait to get back.

About 5 years ago there was some chick from Hestra on TGR. Many of you may remember where the "dexterous as fuck" comment came from.

I ended up getting some gloves from her and wonder if they...

Any reports from Sunshine today? Worth going tomorrow to get some turns in?? What about vs. Lousie.

A bunch of buddies and I are heading out

I assume Dive is closed?

Nope not really. In some of the sunnier faces it was but it was certainly pushable... more heavy than crunchy under.

Went to SSV today. About 7 cm fresh overnight and lots of fresh pockets all day. Still impressed by the amount of snow they have... The Dive was open and great.

So how is Louise for this closing weekend - is the backside open? Is it worth getting out there for the closing Sunday?

Any info on Sunshine?

Why can't the temperature stay somewhat consistant!!! All these cold days are starting to be a drag. Any indication of incoming snow in the next few days?

Am stuck out east for the next little while, how are the ER's at LL holding up with snow these days after this cold snap? Are they sliding or are we likely to see ER5 open this year...?

oh man that slide looks like something out of a SNL skit, I can't believe it was real.

Maybe a bit over-dramatic but another chair incident at Whistler. Did a quick search and didn't see any posting of it previous, sorry if this is a repost. Not a good year that's for sure.
...

Yeah that would be controlled.

Was talking to a patroler the other day and he said they bombed ER5 and it slide to ground a couple of weeks ago and that it probably won't open this year, like...

There were some Heli bombing runs in 2005 if I remember correctly.

*edit*

Yup actually there is a video from inside the Heli and some info here. It was 2005...

West Bowl came down today, just outside of ski area boundary. 1 person caught but very lucky. More info at the Lake Louise Avi Patrolers blog. http://lakelouiselowdown.wordpress.com/

Near the town of Fernie, not the ski resort

Nice pics. Do you have a wideangle lens on the camera?

if pics arrive i will elaborate on answers

1. price and quality (a lot of the variables falls under quality)
2. when it's needed
3. $2000 over a few years of purchases
4. most people here...

I like. Lake Louise has been decent as of late. Anyone know if Dive is open at Sunshine yet? I haven't been there this year at all.

Revy to Fernie is a long drive, but I'm sure you know that.

Sounds like you have it more or less figured out... Just get a map and follow the snow/good roads... You can get something in Kelowna too, Big White?

hey all, thanks for the replies. I just got back and I actually liked it. It was a nice chill scene without all the idiot punks. The Roadhouse was really funny.. there was a dog running around...

Hey all, heading off to Golden in an hour or so for the weekend. Anyone have any advice on what bars to check out Sat night? NOt sure really what is in the town. I know it is a truck stop.
...

I know you can buy cheaper tickets at 7-11 in Vancouver before heading up to Whistler. At least you used to be able to 2 years ago

ahh sweet, that is good then. I thought you were in a crash or something, glad you are okay!

If you don't mind my asking what was the surgery for? I must have missed it back in the day

Adam did you process/touch them up in Photoshop? I'd love to know what process/filters you use. They look really nice.

Oh and btw you put it in as .ICE in your cell. The period makes it always appear at the top of your contact list

I've got buddies who are paramedics here in Calgary and they check for .ICE everytime they find a cell phone. Helpful for finding out any medical issues or blood type etc.

Some provinces/states have alliances and share traffic ticket/fine information with each other. Depends on the state. I know Ont and Que share with NY but have no idea about BC

Looks like tomorrow is the day. Need to get out of the city for a bit.

Just wondering how it is. I assume it's just Wiwaxy

It probably just hasn't been updated. And if it's going to the states it would be US customs holding it up, not Canadian.

it's not too bad around the banff region. Was down in Montana 2 weeks ago and it is nothing like that. I dont' think we've got any fires burning nearby...

Yeah I don't get what is so groundbreaking about no poles?

All I see in that video are some some guys who are trying pretty hard to be "cool" and fit-in with their baggy checkered outfits doing...

I'm glad to see our most literate and intellectual member has chimed in his response

Totally agree. And since most of the global warming testing is done using models and predictions it really isn't even being tested. They are assuming parameters and then using them to predict.

The Climate WAS cooling in the 70's. A lot of scientists were involved with that and a ton of money was put into researching that. My doctorate supervisor (a glacial geologist) was hired and given...

I live in the N.W. and from what I've seen of the city I'd want to live here over anywhere else. If you are looking for big nice houses check out Edgemont, they have awesome views of the mountains...

What are you looking for and for what age group? Bars? Restaurants? Parks?
