Temp was hovering around zero for the past week or more at Kimberley, so they haven’t been able to make snow. Probably the same at Fernie.
Dr E, how was it today? I’ll probably go check it out Monday anyway, need to scratch the itch.

Download on Timber with a few runs open from Whitepass. I wasn't there but a buddy said it was very thin down to the base below whitepass.
On that note, lift tickets were $80. What the fuck. $80 for 10 runs and an essentially required download? Lift ticket prices are madness.

Guessing pass holders only then. I would not have paid for the Mike 1 soft open last year if I hadn’t had a pass for Pano. I did it because I could.
Whales are in pretty good shape here. Just need to knock em down and smooth them over. Unemployment allows me to get turns in Friday afternoon and then spending 3 days in a camp with level 4 instructors. I am pretty much self taught from age 5, so this will be fun.Using Tapatalk

It was warm and wet last week as well, so yeah, not much snow making on the lower mountain. That being said skiing off White Pass was really good today. Soft winter like snow everywhere. I don’t think I hit even one rock. Sounds like patrol are are going to try and get upper Curry open early next week. Bellow Whitpass was thinner, but had no problem skiing to the bottom.

No disagreement about ticket prices in general being high, however there were 4 lifts spinning today (Elk and Bear we’re running as well). I’m guessing the prices are in line with what Sunshine and Louise are charging. Plus at least you don’t have to worry as much as getting core shots.
Downloading was an option but not mandatory, an intermediate skier would not have had a problem skiing down to the bottom on both the old and new side.
It wasn’t our best openings, but it definitely wasn’t our worst either.

Thanks, Dr. Evel, sounds fairly decent.
With nothing open yet at K or KH then Fernie will be worth it since I don’t have to pay.

I'll second Crashidy. I think I hit about 500 rocks at Louise this weekend and almost ate shit a couple times entering cat tracks with the dull edge 6 year old rock skis lol. Kids had fun sending leapfrog deep and uncovering lots of other rocks... At least it's skiing though.

I was at SSV a few days ago and I thought it was good conditions for the time of year. Maybe LL is in worse shape.

Heading to blue river for Wednesday and have a buddy in jasper. Is it worth it to hit marmot for a day tommorrow? Won't likely cost me any moolah (other than ptex).

Pano to have all lifts operating this weekend, even the triple. They hadn’t blown whales into Fritz’s yet, but that only takes a day and part of a day to knock em down and spread them out. Not sure if Taynton will be open though. They have had crews in bootpacking the bowl.
Intend to be skiing Friday.Using Tapatalk

*jong Q alert*
Mapping out potential foray from Rossland to Revy, noticed there's a ferry leg at Shelter Bay. Do the inland ferries run regardless of conditions or do we need to check on the status if there's weather? Anything else we want to know about driving in the area? (4WD with snow tires. Check.) Still not sure if doing a triangle from Kelowna or an out-and-back from Spokane, but most likely the former. TBD. Took the Rogers Pass route to Revy last year and appreciated the beta. Thanks y'all.
