Was down there over thanksgiving, and the resort was so shitty. The park was ok though. Skied some amazing backcountry up by Paradaise Divide with really good coverage. Theres a big storm going through right now that should improve the conditions at the resort alot, but make the BC avy danger quite terrifying.

Looks sick, but really hard to get a sense of scale in that picture, how big is that?

canaan is sick right now

park crew has been doing a good job, i thought the lips were good-pretty floaty, but not too poppy and the landings are steep and long(er). also bigger than i thought they would have up to begin with, but hey...bigger is better right?

now we just need some snow

Loving the park so far, pretty epic and super floaty...i cant seem to find the sweet spot on the big jump though but im sure its just me. Cant wait to see the rest of the rails up!

bigger is always better! Yea, definitely itchin to get more of the rails in. IMO, lower canaan is a clusterfuck designed by helen keller.....hopefully see about changing that up so the C box is actually uh, useful and doesnt land you at a dead stop........ugh.
