Got KH ski lift ticket vouchers for sale. Use any time, no blackouts. Minimum 2 for $115 each.
Planning a late April trip to Banff, are conditions generally pretty good that time of year?
Generally yes.. I'm still hopeful that the taps will turn on in February and March. That's the usual case with la Nina years. Dry January and then a later spring. Let me know if you come up.Quote:

Let me know closer to the time. I'll probably be around and skiing those areas anyway.Quote:

I never got a chance to watch any of the FWT comps, but I used to watch Wrangle when they were still running that. Ran into Candide while waiting for them to pre-run the course one year. That was unexpected.
I’ve been here at KH since Sunday. They are setting up the cameras and what not now in Fuez that face ozone, conditions are A++ and deep. It’s gonna be good, but really freaking cold.

-29 at LL this morning and no new snow (again)
I laughed, but then cried as I have been skiing LL this year...
Family Day weekend in Jasper. I still can't believe how some things burned and others did not. Still a great place for food and skiing.
Not busy. Still very thin but good weekend overall.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...134c62e6c3.jpg
This should probably go somewhere else but Christina Lustenburger climbed and skied the south face of Robson. First ever decent of that side

So impressively cool.Quote:

Lets Hope March makes up for a dismal Feb snowfall.
It sounds like Sherpas had some crew out filming for the Lusti Robson descent? I hope so, so incredibly amazing would love to see more about it.

Or it can rain and lets start biking?<br />

Kinda scared for summer/fire season with so little snow.</p>
20+ at LL REALLY changed and improved things.
April and May were better last year at LL and SS, especially SS. Lots of unreported new snow on Bye Bye bowl in May.
Fingers crossed that the storm track starts to deliver something to provide a couple weeks of reliable soft and fresh before the melting sets in.
Skiing at Roger’s pass is very good right now
I have some items to post for sale and in the current financial and political climate I would prefer to sell things locally.
Do you guys think it's appropriate to use this thread as a local gear swap?
If not, maybe I should start a Rockies gear swap page in gear swap?

post in gear swap and link here?
no idea. no one really polices this...
Yeah I guess the reason I was asking is that I'd prefer not to even post it to the general public if I want it to stay local.
I'll think about it some more.

Talk about a cliffhanger. I want to know what you’re selling now.
but really, lets see all the pictures of the cool shit that spooky skied yesterday???
Haha... Too short for you I think...Quote:

Willing to ship to the US? [emoji13]
If you are willing to admit you skied something under 180cm, I will totally ship to you.Quote:

FWIW, I skied with skykift a couple of years ago and the effective edge on my 177cm k108 was longer than his 192 mfree.
I.e. don't be afraid to admit you ski small skis.

I'd say the entire setup is 8/10 or better condition.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6b6f7d1f5c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e0667ac0bd.jpg
I'd like to get $400 cdn for the package.

I will be in Fernie with family and friends March 10 - 15, usually get a Castle visit while there.
Would enjoy meeting up with Fernie peeps if anyone is around
Re. Castle, froma friend who was skiing this last weekend.
Falling apart quickly. They had 2 inbound slides on the weekend so a bunch is closed.
