Blackcomb Opened Today It was good

[trama1260]

knee deep pow and a few rails but way to many aussies in the lift line which cut the day short for most of us

[Jake...]

i wanna ski so freeaking badly, damn you

 

[Nadia.]

I feel sorry for everyone at the back of the lineup in the morning, 4000 people apparantly. I got there at 7, wasnt too bad. My buddy who got there at 8:30 loaded 1.5 hours after me.

 

[KRASHED]

easy on the aussies, they are the friendliest people in canada, come to ontario where everyones an asshole and the french run rampant!

 

[french_fry]

yeah one of us was standing in the line for the wizard while we were buying lift tickets, took about 40min in total. Line up at the solar coaster was huge too, but then a lot of people were on the catskinner, so Jersey Cream was good and not too big for almost the rest of the day, I skied some wicked deep stuff today, i had an old pair of 1080's so rocks didn't matter at all...

 

[hollygrove]

i have almost another month before i start. but out hill does have like 75 cm already.

 

[BMit]

4000?! seemed like 20 thanks to the singles line

 

[Age]

Australia represent.

Only 21 days till i get to whistler

 

[peter.doubleu]

ya im going to get up there tmmr cant wait

 

[peter.doubleu]

and im hoping there wont be as many people because lots will hopefully be to tired

 

[lalalalaura]

Jesus Christ, that day was so goddamn good. There was such a good snowcover and the softest snow EVER. Jesus.

 

[french_fry]

Eli finding some goods

 

[peter.doubleu]

that looks sick

 

[QuazBotch]

Bah, Ontario has rocks too.

 

[garrett.]

OMG!!! we have the EXACT SAME BUBBLE CHAIR!!! (with out the wistler logo on it)

 

[Nadia.]

Probably because most chairlifts are made by either yan or dopplemayr?

 

[TOOEast]

I want to shred the pow pow gnar gnar

 

[cork5_thovex]

I want to see snow. today was the closest it hailed. looked like fun. 4000 people that is nuts. how many runs were open?

 

[Nadia.]

Pretty much ski wherever you want, as long as you can get back to the lift.. Solar coaster, Catskinner, Jersey Cream were open.

 

[Ahmets_Brother]

[[fisher]]

[Caramba]

[LeBlanc]

[johnnypsunami]

yeah my mountain already has 95 cm and is opening next weekend for season pass holders.

AUSTRIA REPRESENT

 

[ronalddregan.]

[WIfreeskier]

damn i miss whistler, hope to get up there again this season

 

[DuncanK]

what part of the mountain was open?

 

[french_fry]

^wizard but only to get up, then solar coaster, catskinner, and jersey cream, with whatever you could ski in between

 

[alaskaunbound]

Duude last year at the end of the year alyeska started to put on some used bubbles they got from VAIL...with the old stickers still on. I dont know how many they got but in may they had like 4.

And thats just how ghetto alyeska is.

 

[peter.doubleu]

ya it was amazing today and like no crowds either

 

[Nadia.]

The lift opens at 8:15 regardless of when you arrive.

 

[Gorilla.Steeze]

Blackcomb is so much better than whistler

 

[mk2]

man we havent even had frost yet here.

 

[albatross.]

who was the cool guy with the dragons in brown?

 

[french_fry]

you're wrong, sir. You can't compare them

 

[J.D.]

Excelerator and Excalibur gondola were open today.

Opening weekend... yeah. Definitely good. Yay pow.

 

[oO~sKiErGirL~Oo]

I got up the singles line, which I waited in with my friends, in about 10 mins. people are idiots.

 

[Nadia.]

Even better was this morning, got there at 7:45, and was the 4th chair up. Hardly a lineup even at opening time. (8:15)

I guess all the tards packed it in after saturday. All the more mountain for the rest of us.

 

[grams.]

there both amazing but on a big powder day i would want to hit up 7th heaven first and spanky's ladder (if it was clear) but if we had another pow day the day after that.. i would take the peak go skiers left and traverse really far, wait i shouldn't tell you this hahaha but if you are at whistler on a pow day make sure you hit up the harmony chair, so nice in the back near the flute bowl, but thatst just if its not all socked in with clouds (and it is usually socked in)

 

[dr_jib]

im so jealous man my local jersey mountain doesnt open till december 17 or more set back cause well we dont get any snow haha

 

[skoganskier101]

dude its ok it didnt open today this thread was from november 5th of last year i really dont know why it was brought back up.

 

[Snowcase]

yea i noticed that after 10 mins of readin but i am high as hell right now so all i could think about was powder

 

[dr_jib]

o well then would ja look at that, but it still makes me depressed to see skiing pics when i still cant ride untill late decemeber haha

 

[michael_bc]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

today I was eatin snowflakes in Zermatt.

 

[scientist]

I read this whole thread thinking blackcomb got a mega early opening

 

[Charley.]

damn i didint know that blackomb opened so early...everybody there are so lucky to ski

 

[nickmcnutt]

some people ae fucking dumb, that was LAST SEASON, there not 1 snowflake anywhere in whistler besides the glacier.
