Best Day of the Season – so far :)

What 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. Luckily it opened just as we were getting to the top of Glacier chair, and we ended up skiing a line we call ‘Nicole’s Line’ (not shown on map) – it was steep and deep and fresh

Before that, we had around 5 laps of Jersey Cream, a couple through Crystal zone, and they were all essentially fresh lines. The snow was awesome quality; light, deep and virtually no wind effect (minor in a few places). Lift lines were a little large before the alpine opened, but once it did the lines shrank dramatically and it was mostly <5 mins for all chairs.

I tried to take some video today, but due to cameraman error, no video to show!

Saturday - I skied a couple laps in the morning, but came down early for reasons not associated with skiing. They were good laps, but the day was apparently a gong show in the end due to a few lift issues, the alpine remaining closed, and a huge crowd up from Vancouver.

Sunday - Didn't ski, but according to Laura it sounded pretty busy too. The alpines did open, although Blackcomb’s was shut earlier than usual due to high winds.

Thank you Laura for those comments.
