Great to see the grom getting after it.
Can't say I have ever seen the hockey stick technique, but sounds brilliant and a good way to cross check out of control snowboarders put the grom in danger.Last edited by hutash; 12-30-2021 at 04:34 PM.

You could pull some Tim 'Dr. Hook' McCracken moves and the line would clear out totally for you and the wee one.

We've had a range of conditions out here.

Winter appears to be doing its best to end early on the island. Kid #2 arrives in less than a week so I will be just trying to get #1 out on the bike and to the resort to give mom some less hectic time with the baby. Kid #1 is ready to shred on the bike and got out for his first singletrack yesterday. I won't be keeping up for long. (cross-posted as I forgot about this thread)

It turned into biking season in Feb/March.
And then out of nowhere the season turned on again in... April?
But my favourite day of the season by far was today.

Haha - thanks guys. As you can see - he's already sponsored
And thanks Dave - you are spot on. Turned out to be boy #2 who arrived in mid-Feb. Definitely the highlight of the season. I'll try not to share too many photos - I'm definitely the dad who would share them all day if people were interested, haha.

Yeah!! Hey Shafty, me, the missus, and dog will be in your hood around valentines day. Maybe we can hook up for some turns? Didn't we have a romantic ski on valentines day in the rockies a few years back...?“I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you different.”

Every ski with you is romantic, Gary. I'll dm you my new number! No promises on what we'll be able to do with the 2 kids always keeping us on our toes, but would be awesome to get on some snow with ya! Originally Posted by garyfromterrace

Hey Van Isle dwellers! Me and the missus are pulling into Cain for Friday to Monday (Feb 10 to 13).
Then going to try and ski up Forbidden Plateau on Feb 15. Beta on this would be appreciated. Planning beers and munchies at my buddy the brewers' place (Ace Brewery) apres ski on the 15th.
Also would like some beta on the requirement for chains going up to Cain. I have a new 3/4 ton diesel 4x4 with new snow tires and studs all round. They can't possibly require that I chain up?? Can they?? I'm happy to wait until plowed as opposed to buying tire chains that I will never use.
edit. Shafty my phone is wrecked these days... texting will be difficult for the foreseeable future. PM prolly better mate.
edit 2. Post 69! winning!Last edited by garyfromterrace; 02-07-2023 at 04:58 PM.

Jealous, I've been wanting to ski Cain for years. Almost moved up there but got screwed by COvids. Take pics!

haha, I hear they take your cell phones away when they give you a lift ticket. You get them back as you leave the parking area at the end of your visit. Weird. Should be fun... Originally Posted by Name Redacted

Just about to head up to Cain and park the rig for 3 nights. Following Cain (and then some family fun) going to skin up forbidden plateau area on Feb 15, then apres ski at Ace brewing if any of you islanders want to meet up.

One of these days I'm gonna ferry up there with my camper and ski Washington and Cain, and hopefully tour into the park. Bumping this thread has given me fresh eyes and hope... thanks!
Gary, when you mention skinning up Forbidden, do you mean the old ski area in Wood Mtn Ski Park? Or into the bigger stuff to the west?
A few summers ago I hiked from the base of Mt W past lake Helen Mackenzie to the summit of Mount Albert Edward. It is rad as hell up there and would be very cool to ski tour.

You should definitely do this. Washy is worth skiing, and Cain is a gem. If you can swing it, head up on a weekend to get a day or two of the lifts spinning (at Cain), and then spend a few mid-week days and you'll have the place to yourself (human powered). Originally Posted by Norseman
And yah, Strathcona Park is pretty unreal. I could spend the rest of my Summers exploring that place and not get bored. Most of the touring in the park requires a fair bit of horizontal before you start up (think about the AE hike you did on skis), but there is some sled access options outside the park (or to the boundary), that I'm admittedly not too familiar with. Special fucking place, I miss it.

Got a question about Mt. Joan. Moved to the island from the Kootenays and I the Beaufort Range is my new backyard. While it looks like Apps is best for skiing, the locked gate Monday to Friday is quite annoying. I can see Mt. Joan from my house and from the peak down to the little lake looks like it would be some decent skiing. I've been to the trailhead on a dog walk but haven't done the climb up there. Is Joan worth the effort to get up there for a ski (considering that it's right behind my house and has no gates so I can get up there on a weekday.
So far I am starting to accept the fact that this place is NOT the Kootenays - to say the least. Need to get myself a dirt bike to get past those pesky gates!
