O.O

Looks like I have some amazing skiing to look forwards to this weekend.
 
Today was fucking amazing, deffs better than saturday. no lines, and it was dumping like crazy all day, basically endless pow if you knew where to go. There was finally enough snow to hit insanity! soo ill
 
Now to make an early decision.. With 25cm of snow in the forecast for almost every day until Friday, should I ski my bacons when I get up there Saturday? Is there any park set up yet, or would it be best to mess around in the pow?
 
this shouldn't even been in question.

When I went on saturday i took my anthems... I was wishing I brought my hellbents.

No doubt bring your bacons and shred that powder.
 
its too bad all this snow is coming cuase i dont think il ever be able to use my legs again after yesterday

gettin 40 cm overnight seems like a regular occurrence these days...its funny how we have a 190 cm base in mid-november. we didnt get that until like january last year.
 
It could have something to do with the high avy danger at the moment. Maybe being closed for the few days before bcomb opens is so ski patrol can do their thing and control the snow.
 
this could mean that they are opening up more stuff after the 19th! this would be fucking epic!

so much new terrain for the weekend would me such deep face shots!
 
I would expect so. I skied trees all Sunday. I definitely encountered a little exposed terrain, but really not much. I'm assuming that after the 100 or so centimetres they've received since then that everything should be nicely covered.
 
god damnit.

all that means is that What's Open update is valid til Nov 19th. They'll update it again on the 20th when they know whats going to be open. word on the street is they want to get Peak and Harmony open by the weekend.

 
Wow, as if i couldn't be more stoked on what has gone on in the passed 5 days, you drop a bomb like that...

So amped.

Here's to hoping peak and harmony open up this weekend...
 
The snowiest November ever?! According to the WB website.

This forecast just keeps getting better. They've gotten over 50cm in the last 24 hours and to be conservative they will probably get at least another 50 before the weekend.

Jesus. Christ. I am excited.
