jasonvilly Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Headed cat boarding tomorrow, excellent surprise Christmas present from the wife. I will be with only the second group to head to the area in the cat, so should be really good. Can't wait! Then off to whitefish for 5 days on Saturday with a stop off in fernie on the way back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stein Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 I would be up for a day tour, I pretty much head out touring every weekend as it is. Kananaskis and Banff/Yoho have been great lately! Here is a good trip report from my buddy Kevin. Dec. 31' date=' 2012 w/ Justin (stein) Last turns of 2012 and they were awesome! The base of the slope was only 5 mins from the car. [img']http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8220/8333416983_4ef3a1ae59_z.jpg[/img] After one lap on the normal slopes, we decided to take a closer look at the couloir. It was relatively small, straight, not too steep, little/no overhead hazard, good run out, and overall very stable conditions, so it was looking good. We set a steep uptrack right to the mouth of the couloir and took the time to dig a pit. With no unexpected results to scare us off, we started the tedious boot pack up the couloir. We made it about 100 vertical meters up and began to notice a 10 cm thick crust overlying sugary snow, so we strapped in at that point, about halfway up. Slightly crusty in the couloir, but awesome powder down below. So good that we came back up to our pit location for a third lap. 3 runs, ~800 m vertical, 8 km A few more pics and hi-res of those above here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/powrider_kevsauer/sets/72157632400918353/with/8333390733/ Here's hoping for much more safe and plentiful powder in the new year!

Guest 420FLYFISHIN Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 im looking to head up Saturday the 12th if any one wants to join. I will go where ever the powder is but if none i usually spend the day running mach 2 down all triple to regular blacks and blue runs. I would also entertain the idea of Nakiska as i have not rode there in a long time. Pm if you want to car pool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonvilly Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I hear Revy is where it's at, they keep getting pumped daily with snow. But much too far for a day trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
