you like that eh?
7 sisters was also completed, we still had time and energy before the snow shut things down so we cut those 2 new runs
I skied that middle run today for the 1st time since cutting it ... damn good!
Ironicaly all that cutting was done by OLD backcountry skiersLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

Forget the OLD part dude. Although insanely physical, falling requires serious skill. Those new openings to the lookers right of Reality Check required the falling of some huge, nasty balsam so IMO the old and experience quotient was almost a necessity in making those clearings. Young ramrods with chainsaws would have just gotten their heads taken off. And those clearings as well as the 7 Sisters Glades (awful name BTW) have really spread people out. The deep O-Zone lines have been untouched every time i've gone out there. Loads of new skiing at HBM. Super cool. Now if only we could get a bit more snow.

Yeah I think we had 3 or 4 guys who had done falling but at least 2 of the crew are collecting Old age security and a couple young fellas in their 50's but there was no fat on them lads ... lean BC skiers eh?

Nice to meet Solesides in the Fayzurs today! Fun had at Shames this the 9th day of my 10 day stop in. Sorry HBM buddies, couldn't leave the home hill in these conditions.
Some random photos through the week...

Thanks for the tour, Gary! Such a great way to close out our time at Shames. That was our 10th straight day as well.. We left and went to visit family in Kitimat and actually skied a day down there in the Mt Clague area. Not bad! Can't wait to come back to the north coast!

A few photos from the Christmas-New Years stretch. We spent a handful of days skiing at Shames and another few to the east at the Anderson cabin. That Christmas surface hoar problem was pretty intense. Never been on a trip where you're triggering multiple slab avalanches every single day. It felt like we were constantly retreating, just getting beaten down and pushed around..but that's how it goes. Safety first and all that.. Managed to piece together some decent skiing in the trees but it was definitely a strip club kind of situation with the bigger lines - look no touch...!

Nice Solesides!
We made the trip out west and had a nice chill day at shames, looking at the crown fractures on Geronimo kept things reigned in... so did a late start... Dome thru Fazers was fun! Drove through the reset storm on xmass day for the ferry... now to shake the skiing apathy and find some pow. Looks like 20-40 in the PG East line and fucking cold and dry for powderking.I don't work and I don't save, desperate women pay my way.

Very nice indeed! Thanks for posting Solesides. Glad you could spend some time at Anderson. Great that you also got to sample the goods Moose Pit!

The one thing that impressed me about skiing in the Yukon and northern BC. When ever you met a Yukon crew there were usually more women than men. nice shots looks like finally winter again.

OK, a little un-current as it was now weekend before last, however I understand Shames is skiing very well these days so it's still fairly representative.

I hear that skiing between PG and Mcbride has been good and skiing around Wells above treeline was great last week. Looking like a couple good storms rolling through this week, should make for a good weekend!

I really wanted to come up this weekend and visit friends in Terrace/Kitimat to enjoy the pow... then I see flights are $560-600. Guess the word is out about conditions

Actualy flying into Terrace is often way cheaper than flying into Smithers but yeah the high cost of air travel helps to keep the riffraff out ...and in !
yeah they got snow coming but its gona pretty warm in Terrace the weather up narth has been warmer than average the last 3 years so what falls as bottomless pow is upside down pretty quick ... you gotta have good timing!Lee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know
