Calling all the skiers and snowbroaders, wake up.

I know it wasn't a good season so far since we didn't have much snow up at local mountain. But things could change this week.

How's your season going? And how many rocks you hit?

I have been to Whistler 5th times this season and I can't remember how much I hate rocks. LOL.

Sun Peaks
10 days (Christmas holiday)
Lucky, both 5 hrs driving with sun shine.

Not much snow, just enough, no rock.

planning go Whistler for a weekend. waiting for snow. they said, will be +15cm today.

went to Seymour late last week: not enough snow, hardpacked...only 1 run open. Situation sub-par.

Will wait and see how things coming this upcoming weekend...

Q.

Interior all has good snow right now from what I heard.  Whistler will be getting 15cm tonight and tomorrow will be packed with powder tracer.  Too bad I can't go tomorrow but will be there Sunday.

Cypress only have both mountains opened like a day ago.  Grouse, they push all the snow together to create a narrow path (their usual way).  Seymour, only the beginner area and 1 run opened.

Whistler, most groom runs are fully covered thx for snowmaking.  The lower mountain runs are icy mixed with man-made snow, i.e. no fun.  Staying high up is the only way to go.  Whistler bowl, Symphony, snow is good but impossible not to hit a rock eventually.  All the off groom area are full of rocks.

I just got back from Cypress~~~
was snowing hard today!!!! phew, I was so worried about the snow this year!

My last 2 visits last month was like snowboarding in the spring, really slushy and some spots not covered with snow.....
and now they finally opened up the other green run, soon we will have sky chair opened too

Snow depth went from 60 cm up to 111cm in 3 days!

my only complain is the fog (which is always seen at local mountains)

小熊 : For snowshoe, I believe Seymore hadn't open the trail last week. Now, you have to check.

嘉嘉 : Whistler has 43cm just last night.

You enjoy your coming Big White trip.

Mountain top wasn't opened today because of high wind. If anyone going tomorrow (I'm), it will still be uptouch up top if they eventually opens that.

well I don't ask for too much la
as long as there are some nicely covered trails I am very happy~~

thanks! I am so excited about it! even bought a new board cuz of the trip too

作者: B2L2 時間: 2014-1-13 10:06

We are planning our Big White trip by end of Feb. Looking forward for that.

Whistler update 1/19

With no new snow for whole week, the snow condition at Whistler was better then I expected yesterday. More runs are in ski-able conditions, but few spots were still easy to hit rocks. Snow was nice packed on the upper mountain. Anything on the lower half of the mountain, expect to meet icy surface with piled up man-made snow.

Whoever want to join us for some runs at Whistler, we go every Sunday as day-trip. Newcomers are all welcome. Come out and have some snow fun, who knows how long this winter will last. Our group has such a variety in skill (beginner to expert), age (1x-6x). So I'm sure you will have some fun with us all.

Just back from Big white
condition is about the same as whistler, no new snow for whole week!
but oh well~~

Too bad you guys go on Sunday, or else i would like to join
(yup, I have snowboarded at big white, at sunpeaks, at cypress, but never at whistler!)

作者: B2L2 時間: 2014-1-21 11:57

嘉嘉, we occasionally go on Sat. I could let you know when there is a Sat trip coming up. (few of us go to church and they prefer Sat trip so they don't have to skip church)

Family day (Feb 10th) is coming soon and Whistler is 50% on that Monday. FYI.

It is like spring. Alpine temperature is +4 yesterday. Enjoy

LYK day, excellent idea. Anyone else interested to join?

作者: fibbi 時間: 2014-1-27 21:00

Wish I can join...too bad

作者: esee 時間: 2014-2-19 22:31

plan to Sun Peak in Mar,
any LYK have suggestion to me

thanks in advance

作者: B2L2 時間: 2014-2-20 10:12

Sun Peak, the front side are all begineer/intermediate runs. The back side, all advance runs.

We are going to Big White next weekend and all we are worrying is the highway condition now. HWY5 closed for 2 days since they have to clean up 2m of snow and all the avalanche risk control.

作者: 嘉嘉 時間: 2014-2-20 17:10

What kind of suggestions are you looking for sun peaks?

depend on how many people in your group.

if you want a hotel "Coast Sundance Lodge" or "Delta Residences" or "Nancy Greene's Cahilty Lodge", use central reservation.

if you want to have a vacation house (with good big kitchen or a private hottub), there are many choices.

Another one: www.ownerdirect.com

Place to go?? Really that's just a ski resort. There is a small shop and gas station at the main entrance road, that's it.
