it would rad if it was always like that. I finally got a sled this season, and it's defo more chill sledskiing than resort/slack. there's just so much terrain to ski and sledskiing feels more like a team sport with everyone kinda helping eachother moreso than racing to the goods. ...but still trying to outrad your buddies when the time comes. win/win.
for resort, even weekdays are a race during winter these days. I guress thats the tradeoff for living in a place with so many shredders. but I still love it.
To be honest I kinda like the early morning 'game' of finding the flow of pow stash hunting and timing lift openings.
but yeah... April resort pow might be my favorite.
good buddies. strong legs. broken-in boots. easy laps. sun. no crowds.
now... anyone wanna babysit my kid so I can do more of it?

Riding the whis gondy right now. Haven't found any pow but peak to village/Creekside laps with the groomers absolutely deserted are pretty fun. Just been laying down giant run-wide carves on perfect cord. I literally have the whole mtn to myself

Another super fun day up there today. Thanks to LeeLau for going biking and seemingly convincing the entire #southcoasttouring people to do same! Hopefully sneak in a few more before summer starts next week

I’ve visited WB twice in my life. Last week of March and second week of April. Only a few spots had lines (7th Heaven) in March. None in April. Except perhaps the 30cm powder days we got on those trips. But they were just powder day lines and dissipated as terrain opened. I was shocked at how uncrowded the place felt. I imagine it feels even quieter when you leave the resort.

Feels like summer now for real, at least in the city.
Anyone hear more about this South Creek cornice collapse avalanche? Pro snowboard film trip I believe, on Wayne's blog says the heli pilot had to land and dig the guy out? Sketchy. Buried/injured rider still in hospital after taking a huge ride.

super sketchy. without knowing any of the facts i'm tempted to say someone should have known better with the huge temp spike
nice evening skin up cypress. snow up high is starting to corn up. down low isn't too sticky yet. might all change after another couple days of these temps though

I had to return some rental boots today (warrantied a boot a little while ago) so I figured I’d spend a little bit of time up on the hill. Some real ACL snow off of Seventh and they closed the alpine early for avy danger as things heated up. Not the most fun of conditions unless you’re just trying to get in the park!

Today the ski lifts closed an hour early (3pm) due to lightning risk. I wonder if it will happen again in the final four days of skiing.
