Good pics , Just returned from Golden BC.

Have not posted in a while but have returned from the BC Interior before the wheels fell off. ( Fernie, Whitewater, Red and KH ) . All had excellent snow but now all the RCR areas have shut down . WW is still open and have not checked Red ( although warm and mild when there )...

Yes , especially areas north of the St. Lawrence as to the south it rained but areas north received a few snow falls adding up to almost a foot on top of the frozen ice base. Enough snow to make a difference. Attached few pics . Base about 40 cm's so not deep.

The laurentian region did not pick up the November snow like Northern Vermont but they did pick up the rain. December had record rain and freezing rain resulting in the snow pack being about 8 to 12 inches of granular ice. About half the trails are still closed and the ones that are open are...

Happen to be near Perisher NSW, visiting kid # 2 who moved to Australia from Jasper, Alberta two years ago. This is about as far as i can go from my Quebec base for skiing. Skiing was quite good once you find your way around. Lot of flat sections and not very steep but still a lot of...

After the recent rounds of snowfalls ,the Laurentian region has a overall base of 100 cm . Decent mid winter packed snow conditions.

The 6 to 7 feet of snow reported is legit. Yesterday, powder and tracked powder everywhere,even Canam had soft tracked up dry powder snow. Normally this trail is all ice and rock. You could not go wrong yesterday in where you picked to ski as the entire mountain was easy turning. The Tram and...

Arrived at Jaypeak about two hours ago to see first hand the reported 7 feet of snow in the last week as reported by JP :shock: . Well who knows but without even stepping out on the hill and just walking around ,there is a lot of snow . The tram and flyer were down today due to wind .Will see...

Mrs. Anthony has no interest in the lifts so the BV side and back country are a big sell. More and more ski areas are allowing uphill traffic during opening hours . We tend to select areas that allow climbing and riding the lifts. Saturday night, BV picked up another 8 inches and more on...

Skied Bolton Valley today after the area received over a foot of snow over the last few days. The new snow opened up all the terrain . Found the best snow off the wilderness chair which was running today. From this lift you can pick your own lines down thru the trees which starts off...

Just a quick note , this year they banned traversing back into the T1 range after you walk over to superbowl between T1 and T2. If you want to ski T1 you have to climb it . Our oldest who lives in Golden advised too many complaints of a ski track forming cutting across the pitch. Trust me ...

After a week of rain and way above average temps , the snow pack has been reduced to 68 cm. So just over two feet of snow on the ground. Skiing is on life support or should i say snow gun support. Natural ski trails (touring, x country ) are on hold and could be done if it doesn't snow...

Sounds good, back in the east ,last day on the Horse was the 13th and still found loose snow. Have family now at Fernie. Meanwhile ,in the east rain and heat !

Late in posting this as season has been rough . These are the current stats. The amount of snow on the ground is at 92 cm while the total amount of snow received to date is at 231 cm at a elevation of 1600' average. The big story this season is the rain as normally having a base of 3 feet is...

If you have only 1 day at KH and your day is Saturday ( the one busy day on the horse ) , would pass on the hikes on T1 and T2 as this will take too much time off the clock with the meter running on your ticket . if you want steeps you can use the small staircase at the summit of stairway to...

Three more days on the horse . No new snow since the storm last Thursday so conditions are now packed powder and hard pack. Snow conditions are holding up as limited up hill lift capacity and lots of hiking to inbound chutes and bowls spreads the crowd around. Hiking T1 and T2 offer great...

Arrived in Golden BC late Wednesday afternoon in heavy snow and just before the Trans Canada highway closed in both directions. Highway to the west opened up Thursday night while the eastern direction opened up on Friday. So after getting over the drive it was now time to ski. KH has received...

Arrived at the hill late today (10.30 am) and not a good sign seeing guys drinking beer at bar at 10.30 in the morning. A damp overcast flat light day out on the mountain with the summit obscured in clouds and a stiff breeze blowing to say the least. The trails took a pounding from the rain (...

Have been skiing JP since early December and can say that they are out in front with natural snow totals and amount of base .Nevertheless , it is still early in the season and skiing off trail in the woods should be done with caution as there is still plenty of gullies...

Tremblant closed for the season leaving leaving only MSSI spinning lifts on their huge snow machine base . Amazing how much machine made snow goes unused in the laurentians after being built up during the year. Skiing could carry on longer but the interest just isn't there to make it...
