    Ssv is sure getting screwed with the wind this year. I dont think they can win. You would think it is all getting blown into the dive...nope. However there is a 2 meter crown in sugar bowl. Alot of the lower stuff is super scoured and thin too. Decent turns in proper when not on debris. Bre x is pretty rocky. Good enough for a couple laps and some soft groomers.

    I've been thinking the same thing for how awesome everywhere North and West of there has been. I never really noticed before this season but the continuous chinooks/warm weather around the city must be causing winds that really blows (heh) for Sunshine. The Nakiska effect?

    Seems to be, I've had one drive in the last few months that didn't seem to be a massive headwind heading west. The weather chain at the top of the dive was blowing the exact opposite way of the wind coming up bye bye bowl. Weird as f. Lake louise has been windy but not terrible

    Nice trip AP. Guided/catered is pretty damn great. Castle has been skiing amazing all week. We've been getting little unforecasted 10 - 15cm dumps that along with the famous winds have made for fantastic skiing with few people.

    Damn! Crazy kids. If only I was way better and made out of 20 yr old rubber.

    Can anyone tell me how Goats eye is skiing these days? And any idea if LL gullies will be opening soon?

    Like SHIT!!! And gullies are starting from scratch after all failing to ground during the last storm, however as you can see in mntlion's pics the rest of the mountain is skiing well.

    Drove 93 s to Calgary today and the fire break runs looked like they were moguled out.

    Anyone skied Fernie or Castle recently? Wondering if they are worth skiing on the way home from a Kootenays road trip or should we just get back to Banff and ski there on a staycation?

    Fernie was skiing good today, Last run of the day around 4pm there was lots of wind sifted “fresh” lines to be had. On the lower mountain you can still feel the rain crust in spots. I’d give conditions a solid 6.5/10

    Castle's been good considering less than copious amounts of snow. There's been some unannounced little snowfalls and like Fernie, some wind. Are ya thinking tomorrow or next week?

    It was for tomorrow, but considering how bad Fernie was today, we decided to just get home to Banff. Have to hit Castle another trip I guess. Glad to hear it's skiing ok.
