Blackcomb saturday: 10am at Rendezvous
Saturday, 10 am. Blackcomb, right outside Rendezvous. I'll be wearing a black full face, black jacket, and grey pants. We'll wait around until 10:15, by which time I expect to have a good posse. Hopefully, we'll see:
-me
-my dad (who rips)
-Red Baron
-powder11
-fiddler
-maybe BakerBunny
-anyone any of you bring
should be fun!

If you do get out in the blackcomb bc try to stick to north facing slopes. Coming back in via disease ridge bodybag bowl will be a pain in the ass I can guarantee that.

11cm of new up top, and it's a little slushy down low. I'm about to head up for the day, so I'll post another report. It's nice and sunny today, so hopefully it'll be good up there.

They don't know the mountain, and you do? There's an easy solution to your dilemma staring you in the face.
Also, you can do both. Ski with us for a couple hours, have a late lunch meeting with the missus.

I have to bail. My wife's surgical procedure won't happen till tomorrow afternoon. I want to be there. She says I should go Sunday though, we'll see. Anybody skiing Sunday too?
In drove this drunken madman and stopped on a dime! Unfortunately the dime was in Mr. Rococo's pocket!

That was definetly a good day, even though i bailed early (not a good season so far for keeping in shape.) Good to hear you guys found more stuff all day
Looking forward to skiing together again sometime.

Great day guys. Sorry you had to check out early 778skier, it was fun skiing with you.
powder11: thanks for showing me around Blackcomb a little bit. I don't ski Blackcomb that often, so I don't know it very well. I'm still smiling about that line on Secret Chute.
Red Baron: sorry we missed each other. I was worried about something like that happening when we changed from 10am at the Roundhouse to 10am at Rendezvous. Did you ski Whistler? I called you, but got no answer.
and one more thing. powder11: yeah, i got her number.

Yeah, my dad kicks ass. He even bought her a drink.
This weekend got me stoked on skiing again. Today was sunny, and I went back and hit some of the same lines again. The snow was harder, but still soft enough to drop some stuff.

Sam - Sorry we missed you guys; we're back in Vancouver now. Yes we skied Whistler early, then gave up on the rainstorm and crowds, and headed over to the Blackcomb side, goofed around there for a bit and called it a day around 3pm.
I've got to say, our description of the day doesn't look anything like yours; all we found were jam-packed runs full of people, or totally rock-laden runs with huge bumps on them!
Coming down on the Whistler side it was POURING rain - yeah, that was fun....sounds like you guys found the goods; next time we'll find you and check it out - we did go to the GLC and saw that band, but we didn't get there until about 5:30 so I wasn't sure if you were around - yeah, I should have called....

Damn, don't let that guy leave Van - we need to squeeze some more rain, err-snow out him
Wish I could have gotten up this weekend- hoping to get back to Blackcomb in a few weeks.Last edited by Squirrel99; 03-06-2005 at 05:59 PM.
