iiyamadude 6 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Hazy silvery blue skies this morning. Looks like it is going to warm up now. Last of the snow perhaps? Link to post Share on other sites
stemik 14 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 No new snow overnight but the pistes are hard and fast this morning. Lots of folks hiking up on Happo ridge for backcountry skiing/riding Link to post Share on other sites
Matt 0 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Congrats to the wee one Stemik! Thats quite an achievement when you consider the level of skill of the youngsters in this town. The elementary school actually has a "miniature" ski jump in the back yard thats actually pretty big and all the kids have to jump off it for P.E.! I think someone asked for some pics from yesterday (Tuesday)...Here are some plus a vid. good as it gets! Link to post Share on other sites

TJ OZ 0 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 A good day in the BC today. The snow was heavy and sliding everywhere we went, however nothing major. Good to get out there. Link to post Share on other sites
Matt 0 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Well...it's raining now but the morning was nice. I couldn't make it out but one of our staff plus a few mates took the camera up and did some easy lines of the back of Happo. Looks like Spring has arrived now so t-shirt weather, park days and corn lines in the backcountry to look forward too. Link to post Share on other sites

Jynxx 4 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Looks like good snow, too. Not too heavy. Crazy over here... Tuesday 60km winds blowing so we went for a 5 hr walk up to 1800m from 1000m. Wednesday, gorgeous day, mountain covered with knee deep powder! One of the runs we did was from 3300m to 1800m, 10km run but we made short cuts so maybe 7km mostly making fresh tracks. The longest freeride run I made! Imagine Matt's pic with better snow and longer runs... Snagged a rock and flipped over and landed on top of another one. Very lucky to land on my back where I had back protectors. Thursday, snowing, foggy, and windy. Couldn't see what was ahead so stuck to the flagged routes. In the morning, the fresh snow was covering the tracked out hard crust. Not so good. I had a sick tummy,(I think it was the fruit salad from breakfast), and I was wobbly. We did manage to get some nice runs in the afternoon after more snow buildup. When we went down to the car park, wow, nearly knee deep fluffy powder and still snowing. The next day would be tops! we left it like that. Missus's parents and brother are out touring now. Link to post Share on other sites
