    Wow. I just spend 6 days at Revie and Kicking Horse. I just missed this then. Snow is crud right now so couldn't have been that many people to rescue.

    If the wait in the gondola wasn't too long, that would have been an amazing experience for me haha. Heli rides don't come cheap, especially hanging from a harness!

    He said 3 hours in the Gondola and 3 hours waiting for the snow cat at the top too.

    Royal must be hurting to be putting something like that out. Groupon usually bones the business pretty hard and it's not the kind of customers you usually want. I imagine their wait time for tuning is going to get up there though if they run something like this.

    I typically do all my tuning at home because the turn around time is unacceptable. I need my board back within max 2 days. Then again it's so cheap to do it at home once you have the gear I can't really justify taking it to a shop unless it's something like a base grind. Core shots, waxing and edges I'm all over that.
    Usually I get a buddy to wax it for me, but for 50% off it was a good deal. Got the base grind, P-Tex and edges for $45.

    It was done in a day and both times I went in the store, they were dead. Crickets.

    I somewhat have gone recently haha. Went the couple days right before Christmas and missed the holiday rush.

    First day there we got like 19 cm overnight, it was amazing! The gondola line was crazy for the first run but other than that it was fine. Our next day definitely had a lot less traffic on the hill, untouched powder was still fairly easy to find with not so much snow that night.

    Overall a great experience and that was my first time being there, love it in Revelstoke!

    Poor. Last I was there on Saturday I almost died on Kill the Banker. Conditions are skied out and icy. Would not suggest it until they get more snow.

    Whistler was blue bird last week but they need more snow. Great terrain but it's going to be a while before that place sees my shadow again.

    Skiing below the stoked chair is rarely a good idea

    A lot can happen in two weeks. For example North Korea could blow us all up.

    I'm hoping the flurries Louise is expecting tonight and tomorrow brings in some good snow for my trip Friday. I have a buddy that is there today and he said it's pretty much what you'd expect for no snow for 7+ days.

    Was at Louise yesterday. It was cold, but sunny so it was a good day. Not much new snow so just ripped all over. The main park looks to be coming along, should open this week. XL jump line should be up soon too

    This is why i love LL, the runs are groomed perfectly and theyre nice and long so perfect for ripping all over. LL isnt known for pow anyways so its funny when we go there and my buddies always complain theres no snow

    Was in Panorama over the weekend and had an awesome time on the front side, slight flurry going on the summit.
    I forgot how much I liked Panorama, planning on hitting it again im February.
