i meant they don't advertise it as a part of their extreme freeride terrain anymore like they used to at the end of the last decade. does "closeuse" mean it may open for events/competitions/use when the conditions permit? does it still get regularly bombed? is the gate in front still there? i didn't see it last weekend when i went up...

Gets bombed for delirium ski out safety and shoulder safety. Been closed since a patroller got taken for a ride even after bombing it.

odds are never to be opened again. I got 2 laps in when it was "open" with patrol. We took the easiest route in/out (far lookers left) it was kinda spooky, and the other "options" where even more spicy.
no real reason to ever have public in that terrain, but I do kinda miss it

not a place i would ever aspire to ski more than once i took this pic in 2011, full size image here: https://i.imgur.com/lSUvwNA.jpg
The reason I was asking about it is because I read the other thread about soaring ski passes and immediately thought "i bet the extreme skiing boom is over, now heated chairlifts are more important".
Sorry to digress this thread.

Flights and accommodation booked for Revelstoke, Feb 2-10. Not my first time to BC, but first time in the winter. Hooefully that gives me just enough time to get my legs ready for some real vert.

I am curious as to which airport that you are flying to, Calgary or Kelowna. Calgary has a bigger airport (more flights?) but the drive is roughly twice the drive from Kelowna and with Calgary it also mean going thru the often closed Rogers Pass. BTW Revy is not in the Canadian Rockies but most who do not live in western Canada do not know that.

Heading up to Banff for the first time during the winter tomorrow! Planning on spending two days at SSV and two days at LL, any suggestions for what to do on the other two days?
I just picked up a touring setup this fall, but would be more than happy to use it alongside snowshoe trails and such.

You have a car? If so check the spray valley by Canmore, Sawmill/ Chester Lake trails is a hiking/snowshoe/cross country area if you just want to get out and tramp around. Black Cirque for actual BC skiing but avy gear and knowledge needed. Lots of stuff up the Icefield Parkway, but again real BC.

Thanks for the tips!
We do have a car, and I have avy gear but no one else in my family does so sticking to super mellow terrain. I'll look into the spray valley area, looks like there are some really nice trails down there.
Is there anything else between Canmore and Lake Louise that would fit the bill?

Wow that looks epic! Not sure if it's in the cards for this trip, but safe to say I'll have to start planning another trip out there!

I toured into Chester lake last Thursday with my son, there was 60 cm of new snow up by the lake, a nice mellow walk in the park
