Thanks for fixing that Alex. Not sure what happened.

[Alex.C]

Still some pretty good skiing out there if you choose the right areas, and aspects.

Quoted with images fixed :P

Also I do like those particular trees, haven't been out that way this season yet though..

on my hit list aswell

Any reports out of sunshine today beyond DD? - how's goats eye doing? Are the chutes skiable or super crusty? And anyone been out to marmot this week?
I'm getting pretty grumpy with my lack of turns lately. Was gonna head to marmot friday but thinking that ssv's snow might be better with the bit of recent snow...

nice work! this video makes it obvious i should be putting in more days at the lake ! il'l shoot you a pm.

The dive was good yesterday. As said above some shitty spots but boot deep and more in same places, hayes was great.


on an other note , watch me get awesome. Should be getting my sponsor confirmation letter any day now

LMAO...very familiar with that drop, fun and straight lining through the moguls at the bottom is always a good time. Unfortunately I don't hear anyone on the lift heckling the wipe out lol.

Hey Spooky, nice pics by the way, the first one is $$$

Thanks. I'm glad the photo turned out well at least given how that fucker of a flat landing fucked me up - put me in bed for two days with whiplash/huck-neck.

Haha, in that case your sponsors aren't going to be too happy when I post up the footage of you actually landing a drop.

[time2clmb]

Bombs away


Tolocoman nailed it.....there's still good snow to be found indeed






Freshie off the highway


Shit is going to get touchy, glad we squeezed in a nice chute before it happens.

Fun day 2stix!

Nice pics man, I think things are gonna pretty scary if we get a significant amount of snow- never trust a hoar, no matter how deep shes buried

[2stix]

Some interesting approaches


Some funky snow

Some Gorgeous skintracks

Some Honkin Cornices

But of course, some great turns



Awesome day, great partner. Finally some stoke from me!

[angrysasquatch]

No powder makes people go crazy...


Road gap stoke: flattest landing possible

General stoke:


The road gap:


Sequence 1 (aka I gotta get me a DSLR)








Closing shot:


Need powder, stat

Somebody was looking for a source of M5 fasteners in Calgary for threaded inserts a page back. I've had good luck with these guys. Not sure if they have stainless but they have an extensive selection of metric hardware and will sell small quantities as opposed to boxes of 100 pieces. Good luck

40 cm in 48 hours, hopefully snow-forecast doesn't shit the bed on this one

I tried to get metric stainless screws for inserts a couple years ago, called a few places in Calgary with no luck, places either had metric or stainless but not both. I ended up finding a place in Vancouver that did phone order & small quantities, they posted everything quickly & with no hassles.

Awesome photos, looks like a really nice day out. And angrysasquatch, that road gap looks gnar, way too much air for way too little landing, nice work.

[time2clmb]

looks like a really nice day out

Was indeed....today didn't suck either.

Scottmunro (framegrab from vid) ...i'd put one up of Mindthegap also but it looks identical, right down to jacket colour and all lol.


Gotta bring out my SLR one day and get some nice stills.

Didn't suck at all. Haha it's true I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference between the two shots.

Are you going out tomorrow?

[powslut]

Nice day out there again

[Lamothe]
