How is it looking right now?  I might make a trip up tomorrow and do some hiking.  Can anyone let me know? 

ps.  I checked RMR's web cams and they were no help.

I hear the snow in rogers pass is marginal, I hope things get better or opening day may be bust. Any one actually been up, on the ground?

so a group of us down here in rossland are thinking of coming up for opening - just wondering from those that are there - how is it looking? will it be worth the drive (and cost), or what? we don't have much snow down here, so just wondering what the coverage/quality will be like.

and are they opening the new lift this weekend as well?

doubt it'll be worth it. wait till we have more snow.. and trust me we'll get more snow. but if you come this week you wont be dissapointed.

Is the bottom even gonna be skiable? From the webcams it looks like there's no snow really in town and that its thin lower down. If they have one groomed run to the bottom I'd be surprised. I bet they are gonna download.

Opening was alright, found some decent lines in north bowl...   kinda suprised they opened the runs they did considering the stumps, rocks, and general lack of grooming on most of them.

can't wait to get MORE snow!

crappy snow, bad vis up top, but sick to be riding a lift.

Loved the jump at the bottom of North Bowl. I hope that was someone on here.
