  1. Excellent!! A nice early season start and you guys deserve it a load Nice write up CB. Wish I could have been there with you guys for that opening and its great that you guys are living up to my teachings of skiing till the snow runs out. I'm not missing the smell of ass though. Dude what were you eating the night before to give you a stink like that?
  2. Doesn't sound any different from any other fall in the Tateyama and that never stopped some of us from getting up there Myself well I'd go just because everybody says not to You only live once and even in a whiteout there are some fun runs low down in the Raicho camp area

  4. CB you'll be skiing way deeper snow very soon. I've got early season powder but thats about it. FT you're just jealous
  5. My 9th an so far best day out this season Dry powder near a ghost town that used to mine asbsestos

Good find but... Get it right dorkstick 1st link is summit ski off of Tsurugi 2nd link is Tateyama 3rd is a
  7. Get a tissue boys and get over the twintip thing Enjoy this wintery picture from northern BC. First snow to actually stick on the ground in Dease Lake This weekend is going to rule!
  8. Hah Sock Monkey Beat you to it Where are you going to go early season? My 2nd day out this season. No new snow so I have to be extra careful of sharks but it was a lot dryer than the week before because of some nice clear and cold nights. Just low angle turns right now because that is where it is safe to ski. The steeper stuff has the big rocks poking through. Bull caribou with a harem of 5 cows
  9. I may be in the middle of nowhere. But I skied a 400 metre run this afternoon. More pictures on the my blog which FT linked to above.
  10. Well I'm 3-4 hours south of a crappy looking hill with a T-Bar just inside Yukon Territory and 7 hours north of Shames and Smithers Mountains in Terrace and Smithers. It's all backcountry skiing around here and I'm looking forward to it. And I'm nowhere near the Rocky Mountains. I'm on the east side of the Coast Mountains
  11. I saw this thread and waited a day or to for FT to upload a picture of new snow. He didn't produce and this thread needs a picture of new snow So here we go with September 8th in northwest British Columbia where I now live.
  12. No worries Soub. Nice skis and line. Ride it switch into the living room The general lack of excitment and imagination for the pursuit of the endless season has kept me away over the past year. And I guess the fact that I don't live there anymore... Just a local peak in my hometown FT When are you back in Canada?
  13. huh that really makes me want to post some summer stoke But for those of you that enjoy it Here is a bit of what I did ski Started in the upper right I've been up to lots. Been busy so have not been on the net so much other than email and keeping my blog up to date. I've graduated and am moving up to the northwest corner of BC for a teaching gig in a tiny little 500 person village. I'm super stoked to experience the north

This was a really unfortunate and sad episode. sad sad sad Sad for the families and sad for some people after reading through these 3 pages I think he lived in the Washington DC area for 15 years. Moved there when he was 8 I don't think you have to live in America to be overwelmed with American gun culture. Any vi
  16. I don't think it is about how fast you want to go or how tight a couloir you'll ski More about which ski do you not care about as much and can get trashed Spring BC skiing is bad on gear no matter how much you try to avoid the obstacles I'd mount up the LBFs You have had them for a while and a core shot or ski across a paved road won't be too much concern If you really are planning on skiing into June the snow is going to be the pits by then anyways and going really fast will just be dangerous. Remember all the ice bulges that were forming when you and I skied that line near
  17. Kick Ass report And great pictures You moving to the West Kootenays?

Seemed strange to have open water in that canyon. Especially with the lakes frozen enough to ski across. There was also open water above Peyto Lake Have you completed the traverse Daver? I'm really looking forward to getting back into the R
  22. That's cool dude I'd love to ski some Pontoons Was that snow real mush?
