AB mags: dive open at SSV?

L7, mntlion, etc...

Anybody know if the dive is open tomorrow? A few of us are heading out for somewhere but there is no point in going there unless it is open (IMO).

I sometimes love the life of a student.

That's the problem, you won't know until you get up there since it all depends on snow/wind/visibility. Patrol makes the call each morning as to if/when it opens, and can also shut it down partway through the day if conditions change.

Phone the Sunshine freeride hotline and see if it was open today. (403-762-6511) If it was and it doesn't snow or blow too much tonight, it will probably be open tomorrow. (Unless it is a whiteout, then it will probably be closed.)

This is why LL is so much easier. I love The Dive but HATE when I go to Sunshine and The Dive doesn't open.

thanks for the number, I will give them a buzz tomorrow.

I am with you on just going to LL. I also want to try some of the smaller lines that people were doing in the big mtn comp. I figure that there is enough snow that I shouldn't get *too* injured. Either wy, it is shaping up to be a great day since they are calling for 5-10 overnight and more all through the day.

The patrol has done a great job of opening it up all the time this year. I've skied in there in a few whiteouts this year, huge props to patrol for doing a great job maintaining it.
