Be sure to drop me a line if you come. Snowforecast calling for 10 for Thurs. It's blowing a bit up high right now so probably filling things in nicely.Quote:

Quick question: what's SSV usually like in the spring (early May-ish)? Good spring skiing all over? Or getting to be pretty melted out and restricted to less interesting terrain?
The question could be phrased as is any of SSV terrain interesting ( other than the Dive) ??:fm::fm:
Haven't skied SSV in May in a while, but LL tends to be nearly wide open until closing. High elevation snowpack is typically gaining into June. It rarely goes above freezing for more than a few hours up high in April/May. In my experience, 'winter' conditions are more likely than spring slush (except at the bottom or south facing stuff in the afternoon).Quote:

I love SSV in early May. Usually everything is still open. Maybe goats eye will need some good dumps this year though.
I've had some of the better resort pow laps of my life in early May in the Dive. Even if you don't luck out with snow there should be good skiing all over.Quote:

Coming out to ski SSV March 4-8 with my wife. Any mags willing to meet up and show us around at SSV and the Dive for a few laps? We're both expert skiers used to lapping off the Ridge at Bridger as a point of reference and we will have our trancievers/probe/shovel. Just looking for a quick lay of the land and meet/ ski with some good people for some laps. Happy to provide lunch/dinner, beers.
Just a heads up to anyone with a kid under 5 and a mountain collective pass. Even though it should be free, MC does not have a free ticket once your free days are used. For example at lake louise after our free days were used I would have figured 50% off of free is free. However even for a 3 yo they charged 18.11$ as in the MC system the child pass is 36$.
This applies to all resorts is my understanding. If skiing more than your free days with your kid get the home hillmpass for the season 20$ or get a day pass each time.

Any mags in the Revy area atm? Would be great to meet up for a tour/ski or even a beer with somebody :)
Funny: banff is home for me, and I'm BZ right now. I might be home by March 4th, and happy to show you around if I am. PM spooky and see if he can show you around. Its MUCH easier to find your way around compaired to the ridge a BB. its 100% alpine so you can see what you are getting into for the most part.Quote:

Anyone here work for Louise or Sunshine that might have some friends and family passes they could spare? I could return the favor with cheap Fernie passes. PM me for more details if interested.
Are you staying at SSV the whole time? Try to spend more time at Louise...and Kicking Horse for that matter if you can. Highly recommend Chuck's in town if you feel like splurging on a dinner (grass fed tenderloin, yum).Quote:

We are staying on the mountain at the SSV Lodge for the week. Wife is recovering from a bout with Lyme disease and we opted for the ease of Ski in/out in case her energy levels aren't up to par. If needed she can ski down and head to the room while I keep skiing. Not ideal but it is what it is.Quote:

Skiied some awesome bottomless blower and pillows at the wawa cliffs at SSV today, it was sick!
Kicked off some decent sluffs but it was otherwise ok. Cold as hell, was -22 when I got to the car.
I skied some laps with Cole earlier this season and fuck did he make me feel old. Such a nice kid too, looking forward to see where this could take him.Quote:

Maybe not pics of her ass specifically, as Hammer-Down already stated her ass is bad.
anyone noticed an IKONic invasion anywhere close to what the Jackson Hole guys are bitching about?
Second the Riverhouse- dump-rocker bar- drinking with the locals
