I have a BCA tracker DTS with a broken case and id love to keep using it if anyone has one for parts I can buy!

Welcome to the forum. Sorry to say, broken case = replace your beacon. It's possible internal components were damaged when the case was cracked. Not to mention that's an outdated 2 antenna beacon.

It was all so sparkly!

If it's not a sat/sun, their approach to opening terrain seems to be no different than at Whistler, i.e a total clusterfuck absent any motivation to deliver.

It's a bit much to ask for detailed conditions updates when they're 10 days from opening? Probably short staffed and those that are there scrambling on other higher priority stuff?

Just click on the telemetry, the links that are on their site. Wouldn't you do that anyway if you're that concerned.

Nice pictures owmyballs.

I got to xtal late today and missed the crowds (A lot was full) but still snuck in a couple of GV laps and only hit a couple rocks. No skiing pictures but GV was awesome and iceburg skied surprisingly well.

I beat XavierD by a few hours and it was primo; no rocks in Green Valley or Iceberg if you kept your speed up and went light on the edges.Attachment 347450

That would be sweet. Got a whole lot of unused PTO that I need to burn before the end of the year.

Don't have a jig, but been contemplating 3D printing some mounting/drill guides for various bindings, and this would be a good excuse for me to finally do it. You'd probably get about 5-6 mounts per guide.

Shoot me a PM if you're interested and we can figure it out.

Ops folks are prepping for a Monday opener. Maybe/probably passholders only.

Asked the marketing-looking guy how many Ikon passes they sold in the area.

"More than last year."

I fully expect them to almost immediately switch to 100% reservations.

I figure they’ll stick it out without reservations through a few shit show weekends, just to get more passes scanned to eliminate the possibility of deferment.

I've purchased the Ikon as per usual, but I'm contemplating buy a Stevens Pass just incase xtal is a gong show. I don't want to lose the option to defer my pass if the alterra-overloards can't figure out how to manage the pass holders. It would be fun to ski Stevens again since I haven't had a pass there in years. But I do love me some B-lot.

Good to see the jongs getting after the early season goods! Keep the stoke coming!
