    Yeah, absolutely. Though I have to say, the few months I lived up there it was only a couple of times it was totally shut for wind (lots of times it was slowed however). Definitely opens up a bunch more skiable acres to the masses.

      I feel, unscientifically, like they are shutting down red more than they used to.

      I have memories of riding that chair in limp mode being basically sideways... So, windy.

      But I've seen a reasonable number of times in the last few years where it's not spinning at all.

        They need to get that upper T-bar installed sooner rather than later. The liftline has been bare for decades.

          Louise Conditions Report for Saturday the 7th and Tuesday the 10th - ~20 cm of mid density snow made for great storm skiing, great coverage for early December. Today was outstanding. Excellent coverage on whitehorn 1, fenceline gully, flight chutes etc. for this time of year. Good mix of leftover fresh, soft chop, and classic Louise chalk to be found all over. Best start to winter here since 21/22 Click image for larger version

            Polar peak opened today. Cono came back just to ski it.

            My partner, shackelton I’ll call him, blew first tracks with another one of his expeditions for that last sq meter of pow from 5 days ago, but that’s shakelton.

            My first run was good, but caudtiis as I plan to keep sking betond 52, but solid.

            Second run, I went at it, twice I was stupidly above somekind of cliff band, but the wind hammered, chalky, pow was worth it, I’d do it again, but send Shackleton first.

            I’ll try to get a clip. But better find the guy who pulled the back flip, if he’s around.

                30cm at Fernie at 7:20 am and still snowing!

                Looks like it's a BMT 122 kind of day!

                Edit: rain to the top of deer and super sticky below that.

                Maybe I need fresh wax in the 122s because I could barely move... Switched out for skis that were waxed recently and doing much better.

                Completely soaked at lunch time and need to stop to dry out.

                  Pretty good day today at LL. Obviously still need more base and more terrain open, but it was the best day of the year so far for me. Not that the bar was set very high...

                      Sometimes you have to take the bad with the good.

                        A and B gully popped this afternoon. Surprisingly well filled in, especially on the first lap. Nice little surprise I wasn't expecting today! The extra snow this week has made a big difference on the conditions.

                          Yep, was skiing really well - lovely little treat. Was surprised how good the coverage was.

                            should be some good turns as WH2 gets a re-fresh

                              They opened up west bowl half an hour ago. Just the bowl, made everyone traverse outer limits.

                              It was the exact kind of shitshow you expected to see with coverage like this.
