there has not been an accurate forecast here yet! I think whis is paying off enviro canada off to boost tourism. were consistently getting 20-50 forecasts but the day before it turns to 5-10...anyways its been deep almost everyday thanks to the ridiculus winds weve been having.Quote:Originally posted by Toque:

If you an get an f stop up in the f11 zone or higher youll get some spanky blue skies.
What is a good aperture.( for still photography. The normal optimal point is the middle aperture of the lens.)
f5.6-f8 are the sweet spots depending on what you after for depth of field...but whatever you choose will depend on your shutter and availble light which should be atleast 1/1000s
Any good filters?
UV all you really need

pro shedding ... nature of the beast

never been to Cain either , but I hear its pretty frickin eh... I have been to mt washington witch is pretty close to Cain - between it and vic and while i have never hit it when it was firing, it has crazy potential if you get it fresh. there some loooooong out of bounds tree runs there if its not so fresh.
but i still dont think either stack to whis' when its on....buuuut if I was you and knowing what i do....I'd go interior for the selkirk silk. you cant beat it. and I got a call yesterday saying its armpits right now!
-
not sure when but will be at FT's, i want to go during xmas new years time but i should be somewhere else. basically when It sounds like the snow is gonna fire I'll make my move. i cant wait to get back and shred saaka chair!
-
whistler...and hopefully enough tickets in hakuba that I should have bought a pass.
-
I had a pretty good time road trippin in japan this summer...heres my favorites pics i took.
-
i hope you all are as perfect as you preach.

not sure what skidoos there using but resorts usally run on groomed roads and packed runs, if the resorts is closed there wont be any groomed roads or runs.
just something to think about. but a great idea to get sleddin'.
-
nick make sure you get a pow machine, most sleds are gonna be useless in fresh hakuba pow.
those scandics(in the links) are work horses but not the sled for the deep stuff.
wide tracks and big lugs (2inch) and power ... a600 and up, better around 800.
unless you like digging all day and throwing your back out.

ya we got snow to mid station yesterday. the stoke is on
-
i have the older one that is blue in colour, you hook your probe with your board carry straps, through the probe loops.
as for gear...on snow I bring 70-200 film body, digi body a fish and 16-35. for any thing else like mtb I usually bring much more like lights and more glass.

burton zoom is the bag.... it holds tons gear, all avy gear lunch and fluid. and all tightly.Quote:Originally posted by Kumapix:
I've got a nikon 70-300 ed 4-5.6
I was just going to use that for shred shots, and buy a 17-55 for everything else. then eventually replace the zoom lens with a better one. fish would be nice but that's later.
how would u shoot shredding with a superwide (ie the 12-24, right?) -- you'd have to be right up close ie rails or a under a cliff drop, right?
so like i said, I've got the 70-300 and I'll have about 2grand to drop on the nikon d80 and one lens.
while we're on the topic, I'm looking for a camera backpack that will fit a probe and shovel. my burton zoom is hopeless and it looks like the dakine sequence will only fit a minishovel and miniprobe.
-
yes theres not a lot but there is more than enough to shred. the bonus is that the alpine is area boundry in the early season so you can shred the closures with out any grief. And it's a short hike. just depends on the season. Interior usually goes off though.
