2018/2019 CANADIAN ROCKIES THREAD

**weibo** · 09-26-2018, 10:56 PM

I asked a friend to bring me one from Vancouver when she's up for Thanksgiving. I tried 2 walmarts, 4 various drug stores and a heap of convenience stores in 4 towns with no luck.

When are you back to work mntlion? I should set up the appointment I wasn't able to in the spring.

**Foggy_Goggles** · 09-30-2018, 02:01 PM

My IKON Pass plus my scheduled hut trip says I'll be in the Revelstoke/Banff area second week in April. Stay tuned for my "How to Dirt Bag the Rockies" inquires.

I don't know if RMR has announced their closing date for 2019 yet but it is usually the end of the 1st or 2nd week of April.

**reckless toboggan** · 10-02-2018, 04:10 PM

40cm in 16 hours and still snowing hard at my place.

Already starting to melt now the sun is out, but first thing this morning it looked more like January than early October.

Who's you're surgeon?

Dr. Heimstra at Mineral Springs did my ACL, and at my 6-month check up she said "Go skiing."
It took me a little bit to get my confidence back, but run 5 was spent in a cat down in Fernie with Mntlion and a group from Banff.

Wait, what?!? Bummer, one of the few fun guys to ski with in Ferntown.

Kicking Horse released a teaser trailer for their new (inbounds) terrain. It looks like both sides of Ozone will be in? Does that sound right?

The new trail map should be released soon. It will be interesting to see the permanent closures.
