[ChucklesNorman.]

Could be really good if we get the what they're forecasting.

 

[ChucklesNorman.]

[HIT]

ummmm is this Jake or Sandy?

I THINK WE ALL KNEW IT WAS OPENING SATURDAY BROOOO

but even still, the snow's shit. have fun riding ice from the roundhouse to the bottom of red and green chair. you probably won't be able to ski out unless temperatures drop, which would be a miracle, and... i make more snow for you

 

[doyle.]

well shit lets hope it gets better. and its jake btw

 

[NPF]

[Skiingsnow]

[dan09uk]

how busy does it get on opening day?

 

[250r]

fuck me i got kind of fucked over on getting my pass on time, looks like ill be skinning up for a while

 

[kstanz]

wow FUCK school right now. gonna try and come up for the day on the 18th

 

[cool_name]

way to busy because only like one or two chairs are open not really worth going up for it

 

[NPF]

all the tourist and the people who stayed up all night usually go down by like 12-1 cause its so busy tho. its just fun going up for opening day cause everyone is just sooo stoked!

 

[simon44]

yes

 

[K2skipunk]

First time I've had a pass at whistler. Stoked to ride lifts this weekend. See ye all out there

 

[Skiingsnow]

also one of the most stoke filled days on a hill you will ever experience....

 

[joelski]

any vids?

 

[ChucklesNorman.]

Edit uploading right now.

 

[will_powder]

Anyone driving up and down from van on saturday? getting pretty desperate.

 

[VT_scratch]

how was the shred today dudes? pow? rain? clouds?

 

[NPF]

raining at the bottom of emerald pretty much. wind as fuck up top. barely any snow. not the greatest opening day...

 

[ChucklesNorman.]

Yep. Definitely a gore-tex day.

 

[NPF]

yup hahaha oh well hopefully is snow a bit more timing and tommor is less wind/cloudy

 

[VT_scratch]

for sure. well im stoked to get up there tomorrow and make some turns regardless!

 

[AnthemzzzZ]

pretty shit conditions but tomorrow should be a lot better.

 

[cool_name]

only line i had to wait in was the gonadal line though which was awsome

 

[VT_scratch]

awesome.

do they have any mellow features set up yet?

 

[NPF]

2 ride on flat boxes1 short down rail

1 tower rail as a canon

1 big tower rail horizontally across the slope

i hope they set a little bit more up soon.

 

[BaileyB]

anyone know what the park setup is for this weekend?

 

[ChucklesNorman.]

Blackcomb is opens tomorrow and catskinner is running so expect at least one jump and multiple rail/box features over there. Whistler will probably stay the same. maybe they'll add another rail.

 

[Skiingsnow]

First day skiing tomorrow on Blackcomb, yay

 

[doyle.]

I really wish I could ski blackomb tomorrow but I'll be up there this weekend

 

[ilanna.]

same...stoked to be shredding blackcomb this weekend!!

 

[jibbinc.]

they claim 2 jumps 15 rails

 

[NPF]

anyone driving up friday night?

 

[NPF]

Or Saturday morning!

 

[doyle.]

^ Sorry bud I can't help you out. But in other news no pass needed for HL park anymore just a helmet

 

[joelski]

ya but it will be smaller

 

[doyle.]

well that sucks

 

[HIT]

no it wont lol.

black park is black park.

 

[doyle.]

I guess we'll have to wait and see

 

[250r]

how is the park now? got kind of fucked around this year with getting my pass, so im still waiting to get it, but wondering if itd be worth hiking just to ski the park, seeing as the alpine/bc isnt really an option right now

 

[doyle.]

I haven't been up since last weekend but the park is alright, a couple decent size jumps and mostly rails not sure if I would hike to ski it but I'm lazy as fuck

 

[Skiingsnow]

peak and harmony opening tomorrow...

 

[NPF]

***If weather and avalanche conditions permit. ill be surprised if they do open... they are getting heaps of snow and the avi danger is at high.
