sounds great! hoping we get ours this week :? can't believe how dry it's been in december.

i can't count the times i've had to stop and wait at the top of a chute for a skier who's spilled and now they're meticulously trying to remove their second ski so they can crawl back up the hill to where their first one fell off, then slide around to pick up their poles and whatever else they...

:lol: thought that might strike a chord with the torontonians. don't get me wrong - toronto is a great city and great place to live. i may end up moving back next summer...but that's another story :cry: option, i just got fed up with trying to time my ski trips and missing the good snow...

tony, i appreciate the optimism! i'm hoping the law of averages works in our favour this year. but you know, after what we went through last year people up here are finding it hard to stay optimistic. "it has to come" has been a phrase repeated all too often recently... still, i love living...

last year the unthinkable happened here in whistler, and the PNW in general - winter never came. well guess what, it's happening again. with only one significant storm on the board this year, which occured before the mountains opened, we are in dire straits again. i can't even provide a first...

i hear ya, option. i'm living in the mountains and i see way more snow on the internet. i just came back from a morning of bulletproof hardpack. at least snowbird is on my list of stops this winter. although it'll probably dump in whistler while i'm gone...

sounds too good! love to hear the reports...even if it's making me jealous!

wow. sound like you either love it or hate it. i'm thinking i'd love it. option ride, i'll be looking forward to your report when you get back...

oops. don't know how i missed those. thanks for the links.

thanks kc, good to know. that's why i love this board. if i'm driving through i may still check it out, but it sure doesn't sound worth an exclusive trip. i figured the main reason to visit would be the exposure to more and better terrain. if that's not the case, then i'll just do my own hiking.

wow. that is a sweet project. sounds like something you could sell to google earth. that would really be something cause you could just fly from resort to resort and check out the terrain first hand. i've been doing a bit of that already, but it's really hard to pinpoint the resort mountains...

thanks for the feedback, guys. that's good to know as a start, but it is still early. good to hear they're getting the snow further north...means less of a drive for me! killclimbz, so you have skied silverton? my interest in this resort was that i thought it seemed relatively cheap for the...

i'd like to hear some suggestions of resorts really worth hitting if i was to do a two week road trip sometime in feb / march. i'll be leaving from whistler and right now am looking at travelling down through washington (baker, crystal?) and then either east through utah to colorado, or south...

grant - totally agree with your report. we've really only had one big storm at the start of the month and a few dustings since then, but overall, the conditions are great for this time of year. i think we actually had more snow at this time last year but the resort wasn't working nearly as...

:D today was opening day for whistler mountain, although i got my first turns up there last weekend. i am happy to report that it was much better than i had predicted. coverage was thin in places, but you could comfortably ride down to the base of red chair (which was not so nice for much of...

thanks!

i just posted that report so you hadn't missed it :wink: too early to say if it will rain. never believe anything beyond three days forecast. keep your fingers crossed.

latest report... http://www.firsttracksonline.com/boards ... php?t=1344

if you visit the official WB webpage today you will be greeted with a video claiming that this coming thursday whistler will be opening the most terrain of any resort anywhere in the world. i personally find this hard to believe since a buddy and i climbed whistler on saturday as a little...

short post from a short day. we got rain all the way up midweek and then a rapid freeze. a bit of snow fell on friday through saturday for a classic dust on crust. i did 4 runs on saturday but with a full season upcoming no need to crack up myself or my board at this point in the year. we...
