I can look into it more. Even if it's not for the slush cup, a nice sunny spring day would be awesome.

Yea man look into it a bit.

Slush cup in sunshine is during May long which I think is may 19th? Correct me if I am wrong.

Either way I will be driving up there for slush cup so It would be cool to have a few more members to roll with!

If my history serves me correctly, Sunshine's last weekend open is usually the first weekend of May but a few years back they extended the season til the 13th due to getting a late dump in April.

Mt Cain was pretty sweet this weekend. About 30cm of fresh snow friday, rode all day on the upper lift, fresh tracks all day. Saturday added another 2", not much but lower lift in the trees, fresh tracks all day. sunday a few decent lines in the trees still, soft groomers for bombing. today after a lot of sun all weekend and temps around 1* the groomed were the only good option. bombed some groomers and came home.

on the downside my toe strap broke on my binding and I must have dropped the piece between the cabin and car. can't find it anywhere >:|

Nice! Apex was awesome too. 34 cm Friday morning; I skipped work and got in as many laps as I could before lunch and heading back to the office to get a few things done. Friday was the first day all season I could hit some of bigger lines/cliffs and when I left there was still plenty of fresh. Saturday didn't see much new snow, but it was windy overnight and it was pretty well fresh tracks all day Saturday as a result. Had some fun playing in the trees, trying to ride as fast as I could on some tightly gladed double blacks, hoping for some decent GoPro footage; I was riding past my comfort level and the video still looks slow! Oh well.

I also broke the nose on my board, just ahead of binding… lame sauce, but I guess that means I get a new one next year!

I've never actually stayed up there. There is one hotel right on the hill that has some good deals once in a while, I think it's called Apex Mountain Inn. Lots of cabins and vacation rentals up there too.

Well, the local hill is closed and my board has been sent away for warranty; with any luck I'll have a new deck next year free of charge. That said, this season is a wrap for me. Was a really slow start, had some good days at the beginning and the end with a whole pile of meh in between. Hopefully next season is better!

I need some new gear, anybody selling an All-Mountain board? ~154cm or so?

I was riding in Whitefish last week on my dad's Fastback, and it carves the groomed runs like nobodies business, but it was just too long and stiff for my to handle in the trees.

I went cat skiing last week at Castle Mountain and would highly recommend it to all levels. The guides were awesome (combination of wise, old, hippies, and red neck). I think it's around $300 and you get to ride/ski untracked deep stuff all day. They provide pack lunch so you don't have stop as well as breakfast and après ski snack drinks... here's a pic they gave me, they give you a thumb drive with pics from the day:
