2011/2012 Canadian Rockies Roll Call and StokeThread...

[Westslope]

Yeah, looks like I'll be there solo tomorrow.

Angrysasquatch, up for some laps?

Shorty_J, if you're down for some morning laps what time would you like to meet? I can be there nice and early.

[angrysasquatch]

Westslope: I sure am. Hope to be in the gondy line by 8:15- 8:30, or +15 minutes if the snow is too much for the Hyundai to do the shortcut. Tall guy, brownish jacket; design can be most easily summed up as "camo", black snowpants, red boots, icelantic keepers.

[Fat Mike]

Louise was pretty good today. The only problem is over half the city showed up. I have never seen such a long line for Punterbowl chair

Being solo means meeting some funny people. Was chatting with one guy about the whitehorn gullies to which he responded: it would be easier to get down if the snow wasnt so deep. awesome!

Sounds good, I should be there around then too. Going to try to also meet Shorty_J and get a good spot in line.

Cant miss me: really tall, long hair, beard, solid orange orage jacket, grey pants, black Giro G10mx, white I/O's, Praxis BPS.

Well...not going to bother with crowds at KH, going some where with less people. Saving KH for Monday.

[Lamothe]

im trying to get my self the KH tues

[goldenshowers]

KH will be slayed today. I believe that it will be a skip the line type day.

[2stix]

What line up? friken past the main lodge. I'm going to take the family to the pioneer chair and lap the old hill all day.

[f2f]

yep. skiing is a time-consuming sport

[Joe Strummer]

Suspicious....

Tweeted SSV about Angel being down and if so why it wasn't posted and the next thing I know the cams go down.

Protecting weekend cash grab????

[Singel]

Maybe they'll write another awesome notice statement to blame it on Telus...

"Notice: January, 28, 2012

Due to down Telus communication services affecting business in Banfff and Sunshine Village, we can only process cash and credit card transactions today. This unfortunately will affect our snow report updates. Please except delays with credit card transactions. Updates will be provided throughout the day. "

[angrysasquatch]

Must have set my alarm for 7PM, so I got there a bit late. Was hoping I would bump into you guys, but it just didn't happen. Got some line drop pow in Feuz, then bagged my biggest cliff so far this year. Good day despite the crowds. Tomorrow looks beastly, 13cm overnight.

[Huckin eh?]

It should be a tasty Monday with the Rats back in the race.

[time2clmb]

Holy crap...glad I stayed away from the ski hills today. Meadow skipping was fun.

Looking for more touring partners also.

Let me know if anyone wants to get out touring or to the local hills. Need Monday to Saturday partners.

Probably at the Horse Mon/tues, and probably one more day this week if it gets bluebird. Wouldn't mind going on a tour too, just I'm pretty green and pretty slow.

You might have been on to something... good to see you.

Kickinghorse did NOT suck today! Well, the lines did, but it looks like they weren't any better anywhere else... I'm glad I stayed there and fought the crowds for as long as I did... I haven't had that many faceshots in a day in a long time.

time2climb, I am going to be touring solo this week from Tuesday on, it would be great to have a partner.....

I can bring beers

[Alex.C]

I'm looking for people to tour with again currently too. Though I am definitely not the fastest of late downhill. Generally off Sundays through Tuesdays..

[Joe Strummer]

I think this was the "pre Superbowl - I better go skiing weekend".

[Lamothe]

also game for tuesday . either that or KH. Im on a heavy set up so im not the fastest on the up ( if thats a concern i can understand not being worthy ) but i am the fastest on the way down. comes with being the best skier on this forum



so yesterday i went up to ssv to tour off wawa but with the cell coverage being down everyone missed each other. Did a few laps in paris basin which was actually okay.

Sorry T2C its a pole cam



If you see this guys ^^^^^ say hey.

[time2clmb]

Urban, are you in Golden and do you have a pass to KH?? Lamonthe, is that pole cam an old school bamboo pole? If so then that might make up for the pole cam.

Iscariot....you still around I recall you mentioning you're at the Horse lots?

its actually a collapsible pole cam mount .

[Westslope]

Kicking Horse was indeed muy bueno this morning despite everything getting gangschralped in record time. Less faceshots than Shorty (possibly a height issue) but snowbeard was achieved.

Sweet merciful crap those are some epic lineups at lake louise! KH wasn't even a tenth of that.

Angrysasquatch, I looked for you all day but no luck. Catch ya next time.

[time2clmb]

Im on a heavy set up so im not the fastest on the up

Niether am I with light gear....unless it's totally neccessary which it usually isn't.

I'll take the mellow meadow skipping pow over those line ups anytime.

The Plan for me and Mrs. Mex was to head to the Lake but after Fat Mike's report of line ups we decided to a sleep in and get 2hr lift tickets at Norquay. It was pretty warm. Felt like skiing in March.

No lines/people with decent coverage = happy wife = good day skiing (if you call 2hrs a day).
