Ok, so I'm coming from the 29th to the 3rd or 4th I think, not sure where I'll be skiing yet, but I'll have purple Saga pants, a blue Causwell jacket, a black LoHi, crowbars, AR7's, and this years Booters. I'll let you know where I'll be skiing closer to the time.

Louise was really fun today even though it's unbelievably rocky and in other areas super thin. There was still calf-deep to be found and it wasn't remotely busy which was surprising. Welcome back ski season.

That's the best way to some it up, it was wicked up there today. I had to leave early afternoon, did they open up much later on, Poma/Paradise etc?

As for the park as someone asked I think they had a flat rail, a FD rail, couple flat & down boxes and a FD box, one shitty little jump, rainbow box thing.

Mason might have been a bit optimistic. With conditions as they are, driving my car that fast is a bit like:

Louise was fantastic today. I stuck around mostly the trees to skiers left of Grizzly Gully, and loved it in there. For. Those wondering about te park, they have a flat box and rail, flat to down box and rail. Little jump, rainbow box, butter box then finally, a loooooong flat box

It was amazing.

As for anyone that has been thinking of bringing new sticks, I would.

Any rocks or things like that, you can see them, even faintly. They are exposed, I didn't hit anything today, even in some deeper snow.
There is a solid base, with this fresh storm snow sitting on it.

Viewer discretion is advised though. If you still don't feel comfortable on skiing new sticks, then no one will judge you.
I'm skiing on Anthems for the next two weeks, wish I had a longer pair of skis, they'd be much more stable.

yeah. I skied early with them last year and the base got one nick that was a cm long. I'm pretty happy with the performance of those bases for sure. Combine that with the snow base and the forecast for tomorrow I doubt there'll be need for going into places that need a rock ski. That and my rock skis are the narrowest, shittiest skis I've ever had the displeasure of owning. Just used em for work last year and banged them around pretty good. Thanks for the thought though.

We're at Louise. There is snow but I'm definitely glad to be on rock skis. I have a fresh core shot already. Sharks are plentiful. they closed TOTW for wind but got some laps in while it and the back were still open.

Louise was amazing today. I fucking sent it, and almost died at the bottom of Top of the World.
Everyone watch out for snow sharks, they'll get you.
When we left, it was still dumping there, and probably won't stop for awhile.

See you guys there next weekend.
