Blackcomb is lookin good

yeah, today was good, didnt ride the park much but pushed my way to pakalolo, got very first tracks on it at like 10am and some pretty sick lines in the glades below...And the snow was light, still kinda rocky though
 
Yeup, definitly hiked up to the Blowhole on saturday it was awesome, and with enough speed you can air pretty good out of the bottom roller. And you can ride the right wall. Ski-outs a bitch though
 
yah i just left whistler and blackcomb was sick on sunday they had the superpipe open and teh top half was good teh jumps were small but fun and they had some fun boxes and rails
 
Glacier Chair was running on saturday, don't know if it was earlier in the week. And the Showcase T-Bar (the one to the blackcomb glacier, i always get it and hortsman t confused) was open too.

Student killed in Canada ski accident

BRIEFING: MANKATO, MINN.

A Mankato student died after a skiing accident in Canada, a school counselor said Monday.

Michael Gjerde, 18, a senior at Mankato East High School, died Sunday after he fell on a ski run in Whistler, British Columbia.

Gjerde was skiing with a classmate when he fell, according to school counselor Katy Ojanpa. A ski patrol found Gjerde and he was flown to a nearby hospital in Squamish. He was speaking with rescue workers while they took him to the hospital, Ojanpa said.

Few other details were available. An autopsy was scheduled.

Ojanpa said the school was providing counselors for students, who were told of the death Monday, and will have memory books on hand for students and friends to sign.

from what ive heard from my buddies it was on the last jump on the right side of the "black" park though its not the black park yet... the jumps are getting fairly large and the conditions are fairly hard... don't be stupid.
 
^ Damn thats shitty news....I was thinking of heading up to Blackcomb this sunday, all the jumps are in the black park right? and anyone know if the Snowboard world cup will interfear with the park or does fis still stay away from slopestyle even in snowboarding hahaha, thanks
 
theyre using the whole blue side of the park.. hence why all the jumps are in the black park... as soon as FIS is over... that'll probably turn into the black park right away seeing as the jumps are so big
