I was going to go, but our photog had a back injury, and the other athlete bailed. Not about to do a 50 hour drive solo & the thompson pass is having the worst snow year in 20 years. They got hit by record breaking 180km/h winds that scoured the entire surface and blew a lot of snow away. Looks like they just got 15 inches of fresh, but who knows how stable that will be ontop of that wind crust layer. Super sick event, hope everyone up there stays safe.

Well, I've got 2 of the early bird tickets for sale at $180 instead of the current price of $250 if anyone is interested!

A bunch of boarders from Whis are flying up just for the King of the Hill comp instead of driving... I know 2-3 skiers up there for the comp but haven't heard anything yet. The WESC was supposed to be the 25-1st.
