The Peak chair had been closed the last few days, but the snow had kept on falling. A brisk 15cm overnight left the snow excellent all the way to the valley.

Best Day of the Season – so far :)
January 23rd, 2012What a great day! We were in line for Wizard chair just after 8am, it cracked around 8:15 and we were skiing deep powder soon after 
I could name a couple of ‘runs of the day’ but I guess our first lap through Spankys takes the prize.

Excellent Day on Blackcomb
January 20th, 2012We had plenty of great lines, with lots of fresh, which is why I wasn’t that keen to do my least favourite hike on Blackcomb (Chimney) – but that’s what we did and the snow was epic.

Cold Temperatures makes Excellent Snow
January 19th, 2012Today was excellent and I had a really good time up there. The alpine is a perfect -6C —> -10C and there is quite a lot of ‘fresh’ to be found. The light snow is blown around so easy it is resulting in a lot of deep pockets. We did a run down Dog Leg and besides from some cornice debris to be wary of, it was completely fresh.

Martin Luther King Weekend
January 15th, 2012What fantastic conditions for our American friends to enjoy their Martin Luther King long weekend. Clear skies and cold temperatures after some fresh snow falling Thursday/Friday. There wasn’t a lot of fresh, around 10cm (~4 inches), but it was light and fluffy.
