    Cnd Rockies this weekend?

    Anyone going anywhere? I see that the Lake has opened some lifts up top. Has anyone checked it out yet?

    I am probably headed (yet again) to Sunshine since I have to pay at Louise and I doubt the coverage is worth it right now. Anyone want to meet up for turns? I will be on the board (with snowshoes), or tele skis, or AT gear in case the Standish OB stuff has filled in with snow since we scalped it last weekend.

    Sadly, it's christmas party weekend for me and our company one is up in Edm so no skiing for me.
    Thinking of heading out tomorrow for a few hours, though.

    I assume you'll be at the Lake tomorrow. (Or are you talking COP? ) I'm thinking of going tomorrow as well, but not sure I can justify Louise quite yet. Post an update on conditions and what's skiable.

    I'll probably see you driving back from Edmonchuk, since I'm headed north Sunday afternoon.

    Hola Eldo...

    Man, someday I would love to come join you and your bro in the Cnd Rocks...but still need this damn dui to fall off my record before I make it north of the B. Sucks the different way this particular misdemeanor is treated here and how "serious" of an offense it is considered up there...wahhhhhh, I know I brought it on myself...

    Btw, You guys ever going to make it to Mammoth so I can throw some hospitality your way?

    Man, I could kill for a fine Canadian brew right now...even a mass produced Export would wet the throat quite nicely...

    peace,
    BS.

    I'm heading into K-Country Saturday. I was at Sunshine last weekend and I'm up there all next weekend. I figured I'd mix it up a bit. Haven't been out there since October.

    Hey Bodhi, welcome to the funny farm. Your not missing so much this year not being able to come to the GWN, snow has been sadly lacking so far. Although it looks like we may get some this weekend.

    Didn't make it as far as Mammy last spring, only got to Bachelor in Oregon and ended up staying all week as it just kept on snowing. Maybe this year. Or else we'll have to rendevous some where else. Maybe JH for the Summit (See the Summit Forum for info on that)

    Meanwhile, send me you addy via email (I'm still at the same address) and I'll see what I can do for you re: some Cdn suds.

    ee

    I'm going to be skiing at LL on Sunday unless SSV has better snow (forecast says 15cm) anyone want to meet up for some turns?

    Well, I was SUPPOSED to be at SSV today, but ended up having to work.

    I'll be there tomorrow with mntlion, and likely Sunday as well.

    Idris - are you skiing this weekend. Or - yikes! - have you found a job?

    Hey Bodhi, welcome to the funny farm...
    Funny Farm, eh? ;-)~

    Maybe JH for the Summit...
    I will look into that one...might be in the cards since it is on my side of the border, sucks for you with the exchange rate, though.

    Meanwhile, send me you addy via email (I'm still at the same address) and I'll see what I can do for you re: some Cdn suds.
    Drooling right now...all over the keys like a rabid puppy wanting a treat. That requested email will be in your hands by the end of the day, NIAOB! You just need to name something (likewise tough for you to obtain) that we can trade for the froths...fyi, we have primo tasty homemande Jerky here in the SoCal deserts...

    peace,

    Exchange rate is the best it's been in a decade+, the way your dollars going things may be switching soon as far as deals go. Don't think you're going to get a jug of beer and $20.00 cdn in change from a US $20.00 any more.

    Have fun out there.

    Big thumbs down to finals… I was hoping to make it down the 9-10, but right now that’s not looking so hot.

    Thanks, forgot the free locals day. Probably complete chaos. Guess I'll go to SSV then. There was some nice snow up there today

    Oh yeah! It was nice indeed.

    I kept an eye open for you, Redskea, but all you patrol people look alike to us day skiers. I usually look for Red, and then I'll know you must be close by.

    Have a fun day tomorrow. Heavy snowfall warning in effect for Banff.
