Just sayin....

The frenchies love that zone... they skin up in the am and sneak out on the way home! Some of those guys wear their banning like a badge of honor, so threatening to ban someone, who most likely has already been banned, isn't a very effective deterent!

Any mags skiing Blackcomb today? Got a day of skiing solo up there today and don't really know my way around.

Orange Flylow jacket, green pants, orange boots and Bluehouse Maestros. Give me a shout!

^ I'll be up tomorrow as per usual.

This is a complete shot in the dark, but is there anyone in or around pemberton that's heading north on 99 today? A friend and I are stuck in town, unable to get a ride 20 km north to the trailhead.

Though I didn't get a chance to meet any mags on Blackcomb last Friday I had an awesome solo shred day, got some decent pow turns, some awesome slush turns and even some sun.

I'd really like to give a shout out to the few patrollers I had the chance to ride up the lift with as well. On three separate occasions I rode up with pro-patrollers that were more then willing to give me great beta and were super friendly. I'm sure it didn't hurt that we all knew a ton of the same people as the community is rather small, but it was nice nonetheless! Awesome display of hospitality!

After pow laps I got to do two laps on Half Nelson in Squamish. Why the fuck don't I live there?

Who's still touring the slackcountry.
Gimme a shout, seems like everyone is in the saddle.

Still skiing. I'll be around this weekend, no idea what I'm going to do though.

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.

**Schemeboat** · 05-04-2012, 05:11 PM

Yup. missed it. Damn. Tomorrow we'll give it the old college try. Anybody up for a shred?

FKNA awesome above 1500 meters. Creamy knee deep pow. A bit of surface slab/sluffing into death cookie debris fields on steep north facing stuff, but the more mellow terrain is off the charts for this time of year. Was getting face shots all morning!
