I was just curious to see which mountains around are still open and if you guys are still shredding. Include like the conditions of the snow, sky conditions, park conditions, things like that.

I ski at Grouse Mountain, British Columbia and it is still currently open. They said it will be forsure open til the 15th of May but they will monitor the conditions after that and correspond to what the snow is like. Snow is slushy but a nice amount, mostly clear but at the moment its actaully snowing there. Havent really groomed the park in a while but whatever.

True enough but anywhere in BC like the Okanogan (Even highest peak up) there still wont be all that much snow to have. Maybe if you go deep in the Rocky Mountains but then your looking to pay over 1G or so to get there in gas plus snowmobile gas.. Plus food etc. Gotta think about that stuff. But yes WEST COAST RAPES SHAT!

sunshine village open till the 23rd of may, have a 218cm snowpack right now.

"A lot of excitement is about incredible mid-winter snow conditions, combined with sunny and long spring days. In fact, April saw a total of 150 cm of snowfall, smashing the previous record of 138 cm recorded in 2008 and double the April average."

Lake Louise and Sunshine are open, I went to sunshine last weekend and the weekend before. The backcountry snow is pretty crappy for just riding but it is perfect for jumps, soft to fall in but stiff enough to be able to land switch in park skis. Plenty of base too, I have not hit a single rock yet.

Big White is too cheap to stay open past the set date every year. 2 weeks after my mountain closed this year, we got a little over 2ft bringing the total snow base to around 400cm.
