Shovel to walkway, showing pavement @ 6pm, redone at 8:30, measured 15cm on the money. Car was parked at like 4pm, just spent half hour digging it out so it can move in the a.m. Tommorrow is going to be all time. Lanina is back and she's pissed. To those of you that "thanked" me for "sacrificing" work time last year, have fun in your cubicle / office LMFAO

[Joe Strummer]

Make sure you check with Parks Canada before you head out as there were planned closure for tomorrow.
SSV access, TransCanada and Kootenay highways.
This in addition to some "unplanned".

[Joe Strummer]

6cm in the last HOUR at Sunshine.

[time2clmb]

SSV access probably won't affect people heading up to ski if they leave at normal pow time. 93N is closed, getting control work tommorrow. All highways past the SSV turnoff including #1 will be closed, get the word out.

[Joe Strummer]

You skinning all the way to Louise?????

[Joe Strummer]

Anyone else here on Twitter?

Wonder if I could get first chair at COP tomorrow on the way to work???? #thatsucks

[f2f]

COP will be off the hook. it's because i'm sitting at the airport on my way to toronto.

the melt on wednesday will be epic. i'll wear my harness.

[time2clmb]

I thought you looked familiar

To the Scandi that decided to side-slip the first 20 feet of Coffin straightline and ruin it for everyone else, people saw, people are pissed, people remember. Just sayin.....

PM a description? On the off chance it was one of my usual crew I'll be sure to pass that along. Doing anything but going straight in there is just plain bad form in every imaginable way.

[MustangSVT]

I saw the snow alert for Castle, and I feel just sad that I have to go to work tomorrow.

[Turnipking]

Stupid work tomorrow...

[LSeed]

If anyones going to be at Louise tomorrow hit me up, Red outdoor research coat and red ripzone snowpants, 2011/12 obsethys and black helmet with gold oakley crowbars. Always looking for someone to shred with.

[Spooky]

Anyone else made it to SSV or Lake Louise this weekend? Share your stories.

Have been up at SSV every day since mid last week and life just keeps getting better and better, and deeper and deeper. Some of the deepest inbounds I can remember and some absolutely epic laps of WW.

[MoNtY]

Lake was rad the last 2 days, may even have to go back again today...

[mntlion]

50+ in 24 at the mighty quay. Big chair will be epic...

[Fat Mike]

Well my cycle into work today was as sketchy as its ever been. So sketchy in fact that I don't think its safe to do it again tomorrow. I guess I'd better head to the lake instead

Tied for top snowfall on the TGR page snow totals. Not often you see that!

Puked all morning at Kimberley and faceshots galore. In for lunch then switching to the skis this afternoon as getting stuck on the board tried to traverse OB.

Good riding with you guys P.Blz. Sorry I took off there but wanted to catch first tracks on Geneva Glades. No waiting on a powder day.

[Caucasian Asian]

Nakiska skied pretty well today.

I mean I was in my office alllllll day.

[theshredder]

Nakiska skied pretty well today.

I bet. I was on that highway arond 6 yesterday. It was a freagin whiteout.

[time2clmb]

Lake Louise was really damned sweet again. Sun was out, getting warmer for sure. The crowds the past 2 days has been retarded. Been looking like a weekend, where the fuck are all these people coming from?

Watched the gaggle from top of Paradise...shit show up on Whitehorn, did the anti crowd maneuvering which has worked out really well, let lemmings be lemmings


Watched it crack while getting pow in *undisclosed location*....looked funny when the ants came down it.

Starting to become Goldenshowerized....fucking Calgary fucks and their full on highway douchebaggery is in full effect. Suprised no highway deaths in the past 2 days....amazed actually. Seriously, leave 15 minutes earlier fer fuck sakes. *end rant*

How have the crowds been at SSV? What about Golden??

[TOLOCOMan]

Yeah, that was hands down the biggest crowds I've seen at the Lake ever on a non-holiday weekday. Doesn't matter how well you try to stay away from them, you still run into the crowds at the chairs. Stupid long waits...or maybe I'm just normally spoiled?

[mindthegap]

Parking lot was 100% full at SSV today. Then Mt. Bourgeau got heli-bombed and took out the road from 130-415. Everything got skied at weekend pace today. West was pretty well shralped after 2 laps (to the base).

Watched the bombs go in the Dive. Milky way looked like it went pretty close to base. Below the waterfall & Hayes traverse will be interesting tomorrow/when it cracks.

Go git sum Fat Mike!! Skiing Pow is definitely safer than cycling Pow.

[angrysasquatch]

Pretty big crowd at the gondola at KH in the morning, as big as any weekend crowd. Then Stairway got super busy, but by 11 or so there was essentially no wait for either.

Snow was amazing today, light fluffy stuff ontop of the sopping wet stuff we got the past few days. Must've gotten 6 gondy laps and 10 or 12 on stairway, serious vert. Feuz was absolutely amazing when it opened, hit a lot of really nice lines, and straightlining the chopped pow was so easy a sasquatch can do it. KH always seems to ski deeper than the report suggests.

Oh yes, and it was "partially bluebird" today. I like to look on the bright side, and partially cloudy doesn't cut it.

A lot of terrain has been closed since the start of the storm, should be freshies for a while yet.
