Opening day was retarded busy today at Revelstoke. Showed up at 7:30 (gondola opens at 8:30) and the line up was easily 300-400m long. The ticket line took an hour to get tickets alone. Also there was a massive temperature inversion and it got quit warm and sticky up top in the afternoon.

Next year I think I will finally skip opening weekend.

Very nice skis!

I picked up a set of Oakley Canopy Prizm goggles today (happy birthday to me!), stoked to try them out. I'm used to riding in low light and usually use a rose lens in those conditions, but these are supposed to be next level. Anyone else using Prizm lenses? What do you think?

Neat! Haven't looked at gear for a while. Has the dynafit patent finally expired? Those heel pieces don't look like dynafit.

Edit: Oh I see the Marker on the toe piece now. Crazy. How new are those bindings?

I have had some Dyna fits before and these seem  to have swayed some of my customers from the G3's and Dyna fits. Not the lightest binding for touring but i like the system and ease of use. I will be getting these out Monday and report from there.

Went to Sunshine Saturday and it was a great day. Wasn't too busy, short lines and pretty good snow. Only waited a couple minutes for a chair, and no ice with some powder to be found. I think it's the earliest in the season I've gone before and was pretty impressed. It was warm too.

Looks like a pretty awesome season so far! I'll get a few times for sure, but probably not as much as last year.

If I didn't need Hawaii spending money I'd jump on this. In the new year I'm in though.

Yea top Pic was from Big White. It was in awesome shape and just kept snowing for most of the week. The big reason i go is the rally as you pass a lot of good resorts to get there. IE kicking horse, revel stoke . Big white has average accommodations that i could afford and food was descent

The 20th to 23rd. I've also been meaning to bring my camera along to the hill but it sounds too risky with how much I eat itshay haha...

Bought a new snowboard the other night so I'm not sure how good I'll be at riding it.
