Play in some trees with a good view of rad lines. Note what's ripped. Come back later

Probably the best turns i have ever had on the front side of summit combined with some waist deep lines right to the trees on flight chutes.
On the side probably the worst condition s or drive i have ever had to louise from canmore.

Yup, 1800 is where shit got good on the way up to paradise today.

It was deep at high wood today. Mellow lines but fun....and deep.

Lots of natural activity going on on every aspect. Rain made it's way to the top of the run Kicking Horse (almost pioneer top). Above that is fun, below that is interesting and skiing on all the rain runnels was not that fun….

Long shot, but is there anyone from the Invermere area here? I have a pair of skis stranded there and don't really want to drive from Squamish to pick them up, so would like to get them shipped if possible. Sufficient beer funds would be provided of course!

I go back occasionally and can do it if nobody local steps up...

I heard pano is doing an early opening this weekend, sat & sun, might only be for pass holders, not 100% sure on the pass thing though.

Solid opening day at Fernie. All lifts running except Polar Peak and Deer (and the magic carpet). There's a rain crust that goes pretty high but it's not awful.
