depending on the snow whitepass chair is ill, and on a good pow day there are lots of sick lines in curry bowl and cedar bowl. however if the snow is bad take laps on bear chair lots of fun natural jumps and a decent mogul course and the rail park is also on bear chair. have fun bro fernie is sick hopefully it snows

lol ima help you out again for an easy bowl you cant go wrong with lizard bowl and for glade runs if you get good snow red tree way on the far side of cedar bowl is always a good choice you have to hike a bit but the snow is usually awsome

Its been said but: ride whitepass if there is fresh snow, thats where the pow will be

If there isnt new snow, ride bear and lap lizard bowl. always fun jibs in lizard.

Yea lizard is tight dude hopefullly we get some fresh for you to shred. If not consider hiking out to Fish Bowl which is out of the ski area and has some real good lines and gets pretty gnarly towards the bottom. Its only 10 minutes of hiking then a short traverse and drop wer you want and then a 10 minute hike out on a cat track!! Have Fun but screw RCR!

If it hasn't snowed for a while (or even if it has), traverse under the knot chutes off white pass, follow the traverse all the way and sidestep up to the ridgeline, drop in on the other side (into currie bowl), this area is called anaconda glades and holds snow fairly well since people are too lazy to do the 5 min traverse/side step. It also blows in stupidly deep when it snows and the wind is right, deepest turns of my life there a few years ago.

hahahah nice! you know that trick to huh?

when i was there last season everyone kept dropping into whitepass and we would do the full traverse to the side step and got fresh lines back there all day.

right when you come out of the side step if you hang another left and hike ~30 feet depending on how much snow there is you get an AWESOME drop zone, which also allows you to get ur speed up to go farther left incase someone has found the goodness already
