Pretty meh skiing out there. Did a lap of disease yesterday and a stairmaster today. Both were ok, though heavy crust contact was the common theme. Fingers crossed for some kind of snow. Might have to get the bike out if this keeps up.

What you guys ski on the Ripsaw? West face?

Just the upper part of the Ripsaw glacier, down from the Quiver-Ripsaw col. Probably a 200m run at best, although you could make it maybe 400m before crevasses became a serious problem. I think the low angle really helped here; steeper faces had great snow too but you punched right through to whatever firm stuff lay beneath.
Looks like there would have been great skiing from high on the SE ridge of Macbeth down to either the NE (Naden glacier) or SW (Macbeth glacier, pictured)
And, someone made some nice turns on the north face of Macbeth/Curtain glacier

Curtain is a classic line and relatively low angle. Having said that the classic Spearhead that you did is pure skitouring eye-candy. Nicely documented

What the fuc$ was today???? Mar 11 or Dec 11?!? What a classic sleeper pow day. Rolled up at 10 am proceeded to smash deeper and deeper blower laps with zero crowds. It was a legit boot deep in Spankies all afternoon. Anyone else get sum of this???

Blackcomb Gondola down again this morning? Saw pics of people boot packing up to Base II as Magic wasn’t spinning? Dunno why you wouldn’t walk to village. Man those folks must have been pissed, first big pow day in a while.

Great day on whis today. Minimal line on peak when it cracked then ppl were weirdly avoiding shale slope I think due to vis? We did 4 laps of it with 30 sec lift lines before it finally got too tracked for our liking. Never done more than 1 shale slope lap before it's been moguled. Popped over to Blackcomb for a subpar spankys lap before returning to peak chair. All the usual runs down to red stayed fluffy till close

I guess that's what happens when you're rushed to get a complex new lift running during the ski season. Hopefully they're able to work the kinks out during the off-season. Heck, that may have been one of the reasons they decided to have Whistler open in May this season rather than Blackcomb.

So glad to see all the stoke in here, been a while! Beautiful Spearhead shots, TB
I imagine the demand was pent up. One thing I hadn't realized is the "fresh tracks" experiences at the Vail resorts here in Colorado are WAY more expensive. Over $100 US. Thankfully that's one thing they hasn't messed with (yet) - though its merits can be debated, still a cool experience once in a while.
