I just got home from my weekend at kicking horse. Unfortunately we never managed to make it to the local hero, they were having a private function last night.

Friday night they got 10 cm at base and close to 30 at the top. Hiked terminator ridge twice, whitewall 4 times and then today hiked T2. Man its intimidating when you round the corner and there is a rope. I can honestly say I have never had a better experience then riding down t2. Will post some pics in a bit




Sick,  wish I could have made it.  My new skis need some action!  Terminator is my new favorite!!

Yes. But I need to find someone to watch my dog. Any takers? I'll pay cash, beer...

I was also at KH for the weekend. Unreal!
Sorry to hear about your car though.

Kicking Horse was so sweet!  What a fantastic surprise Saturday morning.

I saw the dooche'iest Forester XT driver just East of Canmore.  He was driving like such a dick a Checy Optra tried to chase after him (presumably to shake her fist at him).

6 days on a board and still loving it!

Castle got 75 cm from Saturday morning to opening Sunday. We decided at 10:00 the night before that we should probably do one more day this season and we definitely made the right choice. Unfortunately so did the rest of Calgary; I've never seen Castle that busy before. That said, we were still finding fresh tracks at 3:00 and even though the snow was getting heavy towards the end of the day it was a truly epic experience. Pics and a couple clips are still on the camera but I will get them up here sometime soon.

Nope, heading back to the home country to visit family. Not sure how much more I will do this season, unless we get another day like this past weekend.

Wow really jealous of those KH pics looks amazing. I was there during the January Storm and got stuck there for an extra 5 days. Nipple deep everyday. We should designate a day near end of season for as many WSCers to go to Louise or something.

No extra pass, just the gear.

I wasn't able to get out this weekend :( Missed out on what I hear was great powder in the dive.
