ummmm is this Jake or Sandy?

I THINK WE ALL KNEW IT WAS OPENING SATURDAY BROOOO


but even still, the snow's shit. have fun riding ice from the roundhouse to the bottom of red and green chair. you probably won't be able to ski out unless temperatures drop, which would be a miracle, and... i make more snow for you

Blackcomb is opens tomorrow and catskinner is running so expect at least one jump and multiple rail/box features over there. Whistler will probably stay the same. maybe they'll add another rail.
