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

Well...so much for tossing you on the slope as our trigger, dammit.

But I would be down to go for a skin, just no way of getting to the parkway.

[angrysasquatch]

And Angry and Teo, I'm down to shred that line again. Good fun. Next time maybe we should bring a second rope, or sack up and just toss the skis.

It'll only take half of the time now that we know what the hell we're doing. Bringing a rope sounds pretty good, chasing a ski into Feuz isn't my idea of fun

Still jealous of your line on the ridge

I just pulled the trigger on a pair of ON3P Billy Goats and am super pumped about it. I'm getting them shipped to the Montana Postal Outlet in Sweetgrass to get the "free" shipping. I also grabbed a pair of Barons off Gear Swap here and will be driving down to pick them up in a couple of weeks.

Thought I'd extend a pick up service if any of you guys plan on buying anything online from the US and want to have it shipped to the border...I could possibly pick whatever up at the same time and bring it to Castle.

Just back from K-Country. Still slim pickings but there are some good pockets of base out there. Touchy conditions still present as described on the Avi Bulletin. The slide on Tent Ridge is large and very present from the road. Sounds like the crew is lucky not to be hurt.

We had good boot top pow turns by Black Prince. Worth a trip.

93N lots of collapsing and propogation of the snow pack near, at and above treeline. Collapsing throughout the snowpack at lightening speed. Plenty of stiffer slab forming up, windy as fuck and snowing.

Say hi to Zach for me.

Did the same with Tire Rack. Figured I better get some skis too if I was going that far and make it worth my while last year.

10 cms so far at sunshine.

Really, their calling for some pow in the Lake but the moons out and so are the stars, Thinking of hitch hiking to sunshine tomorrow but i have no idea around the mountain, anyone wanna play guide. I have a beacon probe and shovel plus AST 1 training so i'd love to hit up the Dive

[mntlion]

22 overnight at the shine, nothing in banff...

[Huckin eh?]

Keep you head on a swivel if heading out.

Head... not .... swivelling... well... fuck... !
No cabin trip for me. Probably a good thing!

[mindthegap]

First go through WW was deeeeeep. The stumbockers claimed up Peytos, and left Wheelers nice a fresh .

The Dive has potential to be heroic when it cracks

well i hope he pushes on east. could always use more fluff. I also would love to see that harness on wawa chair or perhaps some pole whacking before dropping into paris basin. who know what this enchanted beast will do next to mystify us

[mntlion]

looks like I'll be going up to SSV in the early AM.

[time2clmb]

High hazard shennanigans. I can post a bunch of ones that worked out, but that would disguise that fact that we are indeed a bunch of mid / late 30's and (a) 52 year old hacks.








I would have loved to have heard the conversation in the parking lot after 2stix skied down there by himself with no pack on, grab a jacket full of beer and then start skinning back up the hill out of sight lol. Good times.
