Ok. So Everyone pick your favorite resort, or choose delagates from each resort constituency and post the updates for the Mountain you most frequent. Say if some person goes to Sunshine, then post Sunshines updates. If someone frequents COP then post the snowgun progress.

Of course if you always want, you can go to a website and look for youself rather than getting biased and sometimes silly opinions from Regional Forumers.


I pick to give the current 10-4 on Fernie.

Its goin' RAIN....

Norquay on Sunday was sick. The rainbow box rail was a bit wack, like 1/2 rainbow 1/4 flat. Fun though, got all the cobwebs off my skis and skiing abilities..

louise isn't opening tommorow because the avalanche danger is insane.
The snow they got is sliding down the raincrust that developed.

sunshine got rid of their waterfountain and microwave and it is hard to get ketchup and spoons etc. next season you will probably have to pay to go to the washroom. but the skiing was really good. there were tonnes of snowboarders because louise wasn't open hahaha.

I can see that happening too, Sunshine is ridiculously expensive for food, I mean who charges 8$ for a freakin' burger? I was going to take a cup and they tried to charge me 1$ for it?!

same thing happened to me lol. did anyone else get yelled at for skiing near the truck on standish on friday? they were moving the truck with the cat treads near the front of the hotel rooms and there was nowhere else to ski and they yelled at everyone that went by it not to get in the way, because they were taking pictures of it or something.

I'm going to go ask if they'll set up a down box or something a little bit bigger. Who knows if they will, but if they do it will be worth it.

Maybe if a few other people ask too they'd be more likely to set something better up, so if anyone's going to COP monday afternoon, ASK!!!

Ski patrol and staff at sunshine say that angel chair will be open this friday (Nov. 17). They were randomly running the divide chair for the ski patrol all weekend so it'll probably be going too.

louise today was sooooo rad
you bitches missed out.
It was blue skies and so much sweet pow skiing on the backside. Man it was sooo sick and they are setting up some rails if anyone gives a shit. A box of sorts and a down rail among others. I was too busy hauling ass down the groomer to really look.
PS the backside is tracked out now
