Opening week 2009

Let's cross our fingers for an opening like we had in 2009.

[Snow Dog]

I was there on Saturday and there's still snow in the Saddle and Whistler Bowl. Go git some.

The village was busy for the end of September but I guess the warm dry weather helps.

Still a patch of snow up in Sudan.


Not much left up on Currie either.

Thanks for that. The video got my stoke going. November '09 was so rad.

Early season sled-skiing near Whistler in December 2011.

Fingers cross for another phenomenal winter! Wooooo!

Still pretty hard to get the mega-stoke on with the perfect riding conditions this past month....but those vids are making it hard to sleep....

^no doubt... I'm going to enjoy the shit out of this amazing stretch of awesome weather. I hate to say it, but we are over due for a shit season. The nice thing about that is even the shit seasons are good here!

bingo.

I've had a few people say "Oh I hear it's going to be a poor winter for skiing." My response is always meh, it's still going to be 10,000 times better than what I would get still living in Ontario. If a weekend'er like myself pics his extra days right it can be an awesome season. Just gotta time it right for what mid week days to take off when the snow does hit.

don't worry, I moved away, it'll be a huge year

It could rain dec/jan/feb and we would still get our entire season total in march/april for the win. The downside is having to mtn bike in Pemby... life is good!

So stoked. So impatient. Is it snowing yet?

Sounds like a perfect plan for a long weekend.

If this endless high pressure doesn't clear up soon I'm sacrificing some old gear to Ullr.

Who wants to burn some shit?!!
