Northern BC going off - cold and pow

[LeeLau]

From a friend in Smithers

"Toured at the ski area today. 45cm fresh.Minus 10. Was getting faceshots skinning uphill"



http://www.snow-forecast.com/resorts...ntain/6day/mid - Shames forecasting 48cms over next weekend but maybe getting warmer

http://www.snow-forecast.com/resorts...thers/6day/mid Smithers with "just" 34cms new on top of the 45 new they just had but staying cold.!


Been doing some research

Note that you can fly, ski, stay at Terrace and Smithers for about the same cost as it takes to get to Whisgnar from Vangroovy on a typical package. About $550 per person for a two day weekend for 2 days lift tix, 3 night accoms, flight all in. Must fly via Hawkair to get the buy one get one free deal.

That looks nice. Had it on the agenda for last season and was gonna mooch Gary's place and then it didnt snow for a month so we scrapped it. Might have to get it on the dance card for later this month.

Shames 3 days ago. Yep, it's looking good! Shames is now open 5 days/week (through Feb).

Confirmed. Skied the hill at Shames yesterday, free half refills throughout the day, nobody on the hill aside from the A Grade locals. Test the quiver day. K2 Darksides, Armada JJ's, Armada Declivity. Skinny ski faceshots on the diamonds, fat ski chest shots, uber fat ski belly button hits. Armada Declivities for the win today. VERY happy that shames is open for thirsty thursdays through february...perfect timing for my stepping back from ski touring a bit and "just wanna do lap after lap refining product testing" season ethos.

f.y.i. LFH in stewart now reporting HS of 380cms at treeline.

Got a place to crash? And a car to borrow?

[JoeStrummer]

Fuck it, let's go bowling.

I am good to make it up in mid-March if any other beaters wish to rally with me. Or the end of this month. I can stay a week. Or two. Europe is killing everyone this year and I hear nothing bad ever happens in BC.

Tomorrow you sissy. Let's bring strippers up to appease the locals

[JoeStrummer]

Unfortunately, I gotta go see if I can put a baby in Tina Maze the next couple of days.

Jealous!

And working on plans myself.

[LeeLau]

Smart move! 1m + of new predicted with fls at 500m. Ie blower choking pow

[LeeLau]

3000m of descending inbounds freshpow at Hudson Bay Mountain was adequate for needs. 38cms new in 24 hours. 18 cars in the parking lot. Northern BC rocks! Smithers rocks! It's still coming down. 15cms predicted

[wendigo]

How can I be so close yet so far away from this?

[whyturn]

Sick. Reminds me of my last trip to retallack.

[filthyfrenchbum]

Damn. If the flight costs were cut in half from the discounted price I'd be there tomorrow. I shoulda been a dentist. Pina coladas will have to do for the weekend.
