    Yup, Fernie is always the wildcard when we are on the tour. Was there for a wicked good week in March 98 on a Solo trip (same trip I discoverd RED - a story for another post). I wasn`t even serious about this stuff back then but went with the guideance of good buddy S'all Goodman. Went back with...

    Whistler T-Day

    Awesome post Skrad, I am envious you lucky bastard. I read a report (11/25) of recent rain on http://whistlerblackcombsnowreport.com/ do you now how high it went? The listed base has dropped about 30cm - so I'm wondering if it is a settlement issue or a rain shrink issue. The 11/26 report echos...

    Hey, I hear ya...it will be about 2000K round tip. But I've done the tour enough times that I could almost do it with my eyes closed. We land in Calgary Christmas morning @ 9:17 and will clear the Airport shortly after 10 and be on our way. If no problems are met a Kicking Horse pass we will...

    163" (414cm) is a whack o snow by any and all accounts for November anywhere. Actually not to put too fine a point on it Mr. C but, the official W/B website had claimed on the day the mark fell that the previous record was indeed 416cm in November. Now I am a stickler for details, but we are...

    Alta Delays Opening

    Many thanks to both Marc & Rob for their posts on this...now I get it. I just assumed that the probibition on boarders was rooted in some kind of elitest skier prejudice. One should never assume...From what you have described of the terrain challenges (traverses & hikes), I don't blame them for...

    Alta Delays Opening

    Be careful what you wish for...is sharing a slope with snowboarders really that bad? I don't see how boarders could ruin atmosphere or easily accessible lines but hey, I respect your right to your opinion. Maybe its just because there are a few bad apples in every bushel. Many times I have...

    Alta Delays Opening

    Wow children, play nice now. I have read through all of these posts and I'm not real sure what all the fuss is about - except maybe two of you are cranky and in need of a nap or a good spanking. Personally, I believe that all of this Alta BS is just a load of bad karma coming back home to...

    Hey no arguements here Mr. C. - I think that long term forecasters are just blowing smoke up the collective asses of the masses anyway. I just wanted your input, thanks.

    Yes indeed sir, a good base is must for the Olympics. However a whole lot of powder just before the games would likely not be the best scenario. Hard & icy makes for the best race courses and fastest times. There is ample time between now and then for just about anything to happen...

    Interior BC Snow!

    Mr. Crocker that is one impressive resume of Canadian Skiing - and that on top of everywhere else you talk about. You Sir are dedicated to the craft, or nuts, or wealthy or a combination of the 3. I envy you. Shanks

    Interior BC Snow!

    Good evening Liftlines - I have been reading many of the posts for both East & West for a number of years and really have enjoyed the depth and quality of information found herein. You are an august group indeed. That said, I find most of the postings to be decidedly americo-centric in focus...
