I just pulled this off the site: http://www.bigwhite.com/index.php?fuseaction=specials.showSponsorSpecial&SSID=511

The day we’ve all been waiting for has arrived!  Big White is excited to announce it will OPEN, Tomorrow Tuesday 9th December!

The Plaza Chair will open for skiers and snowboarders from 8:45 until 3:30pm. Lara’s Gondola will be operating for access between the Village Centre and Happy Valley between 7:45 and 5:00pm. The Happy Valley Day lodge is open between 8:00am and 5:00pm. 

On Wednesday 10th December, The Ridge Rocket Express will also open between 8:45 and 3:30 and will allow access to Serwa’s, Easy Out, Highway 33 and Easy Street runs giving local powder hounds a taste of what’s to come.  Get your skates ready as the Skating Rink will also open on Wednesday for family fun between 11am and 5pm.

Opening day tickets are $35 for all ages and can be purchased at The Village, Happy Valley and The Ridge Ticket Offices. There will be 25% off all rentals and Ski & Snowboard School products from opening day as a limited offer until further notice due to early season conditions.

I went riding for about 4 hours today on that one run, it was pretty full of gapers but not as crowded as I thought.  Everyone was having an awesome time doubly because it snowed like mad almost all day.

It's amazing how many skiers including instructors I saw on twintips and even more amazing that I didn't see a single other skier ride backwards or do even a 180 that entire 4 hours...

Was anyone else out today, or possibly coming out for the much better tomorrow?

I'll be out all day most likely, bright orange 1080s bright green poles both with some NS stickers on them, oakley wisdoms and a black bandana.  Would be sick to ride with some NSers.

Pat u know you want to.  Fck school!

Yo!

Ryan spotted me right outside the village mall and we ripped it for part of the day, MAD steeze from him I was stoked that i'll get to ride with skiers so much sicker than I am :P  +karma

It was SO good today went from 9 til 2, sunny and fresh snow, to a guy from winnipeg in the prairies it was unbelievable fun.  I will be out all day every day this week/weekend hope to see more NSers!

Ahh sorry Jordan I owe you a beer!  Thanks for pointing that out, heheh.

Paul, for sure give me a ring.  Flynn says the earliest we'll be doing anything is monday next week so we have so much time to rip it. 

I was saying to Ryan my NS sticker pack came in and ive still got a small pile left so if you guys want a few let me know and i'll bring them down.

The small lane is set up with all ride on stuff, we set up a few big street style rails  today in the L/M lanes and actually it will be really sick when it opens.  The plan is to have some medium jumps as well I think although snow is still iffy in alot of places.  There's a box with a log stood up before it for a bonk should be fun, not sure what else we're building in the coming days.
