looking like big 3 for me . If anyone needs a fourth for the norquay pass just pm me .
wait a sec , boot packing for a pass? call me a noob but what does this consist of? and how can i get involved ?
Nothing on either LL or KH websites yet, KH says details in Oct. If they're are major changes, hopefully it's on the smokin' good deal side (aka. 4 unrestricted free days like the old Snowmax would be sweet....).Quote:

KH pass is paid for. Will be buying a LL card and maybe a Fernie card as well.
Now I just have to fix this sciatica.

Probably going to buy SSV and LL cards again and try and spend most of my time in the Backcountry.
Entertainment factor under the Stairway Chair at KH is lower this upcoming season. They put in a cat road to pole 10. That traverse was not only a pleasure to watch on the way up, it also weeded out some of the gorbies.
I remember my first time doing that traverse a couple seasons ago (actually my 2nd day skiing out west). Lets just say I was not prepared and I'm sure I provided some entertainment value for those on the lift! Now its just plain fun
Back in feb two of my buddies, on snowboards, were out visiting from Ontario and I took them across that traverse to the 'easy entrance' into feuz. I don't think they were too happy with me
Looking like LL for me. I don't know if I want to support SSV again after the patrol gong show last season. It's too bad since there is some really fun slack country right outside the SSV boundaries, although it might be fun to explore right outside the LL boundaries.
LL, and hopefully COP if the youngin expresses any interest :)
Def LL this year. Undecided about SSV because of the patroller thing. KH too. Saw some fresh snow high in the mountains recently (didn't last long)... Can't wait.
The traverse kept a lot of insecure and unprepared skiers out of Feuz.Quote:

That being said, anyone know of any decent accomodations in Louise or Golden? Looking to head up there beginning of November with the dog (a really well behaved mini Australian Shepherd who is super stoked about a season in the snow) so don't think staff accomodation is a go.
Damnit, that made for a fun pump track on the board, and kept some fresh lines into Feuz.Quote:
