Ok. So Everyone pick your favorite resort, or choose delagates from each resort constituency and post the updates for the Mountain you most frequent. Say if some person goes to Sunshine, then post Sunshines updates. If someone frequents COP then post the snowgun progress.

Of course if you always want, you can go to a website and look for youself rather than getting biased and sometimes silly opinions from Regional Forumers.


I pick to give the current 10-4 on Fernie.

Its goin' RAIN....

i skied today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
at norquay. it was really fun. they had the beginner chair open and about half a run width groomed. the rest you were still allowed to ski, there was pow but the coverage was a little thin. there was a rainbow rail set up too. they said they're gonna open more as soon as they can.

went to a cop coaches meeting tonight...heres the shit i found out guys...

as far as the air sit goes its gonna be set up like this...one smaller aerials jump, one double size aerials jump...and POSSIBLY a "floater" aka the "80 footer" but that isn't set in stone at all yet, its still in the process of being figured out...but if it is made it will be at least 70ft from lip to knuckle...

as far as the pass thing goes...patty and wade are trying to set up a park pass type of deal...basically what it means is if you're under 18 your parents have to sign a waiver stating that there is definate risk of death etc etc and if you're over 18 you sign it type of deal and you get a park pass...no extra cost over the regular pass...but if you're getting day tickets it'll be a couple extra bucks

the volume of snow there right now is insane and looking like a for sure nov.10th opening with some apparent jibs set up also...should be dope

Ah i'm so very sorry spinners. I'm sure you know best, after all you are a sophomore, undergraduate student at mount royal college. Your knowledge of the world reaches far beyond mine. It was a bit irrelevant wasn't it. Oh how I wish I possesed just a fraction of your vast inteligence.
I only wish you could teach or enlighten me in some way.

Because as you must know, it is easy to be an armchair critic and curse and swear and sound all tough and mean. Please spinners I beg you to instant message me in some way with some form, any form of your inteligence.

And if you wish to curse and swear and shit on me in this forum I won't respond because it is obviously impossible to argue with your vast intelligence. I won't reply, unless I have a mountain update of some sort OK. Again I'm sorry for offending you oh great spinners.

yea this is the first year...or maybe second that sunshines blown snow

and yes...buy a pass for cop cuz if they go through with this park pass shit you will def have to pay extra for day tickets and they ARE hiring monitors to make sure you actually have a park pass to make sure nobody is in the park thats not supposed to be which is dope

sunshine hasnt advertised 100% percent natural snow in a couple of years. they dont blow it on the mountain, its only used for the lower ski out and they use it to make the pipe. they might also use it in the village where snow would get wiped out but by all the punters but everything else is natural.

like said above they're blowing the snow mainly in the areas closer to the lodge and on the ski out...close to lodge mainly because they want to have a good solid base to work with when the season gets rolling because shit gets majorly fucked up around there mid season as we all know...pretty gnarly shit sometimes

thats a good thing, along with hiring people to check passes it would also be nice for them to hire a park crew to make sure lips are in good shape, the neon shit in on the landing, things arent getting rutted, that sort of thing

cause every year shit gets rutted and screwed up and if they had a few people doing that it would make the park so much better

i don't know how to quote ppl on here BUT!!

ben you've got a good point bro...i mentioned that to pat last night and he totally agrees and said he brought it up with wade already and they're trying to get something of that sort in action...its just based on budgets right, whether or not theres anough money to hire people to do that kind of shit on top of hiring monitors and pass checkers etc etc...hell im coaching this year and id go do that shit if i had the time in the afternoon or something

and guuuuys we bought a BRAND NEW pipe Zaug!!!! one of only 2 in all of north america...other one is in park city!! anybody stoked on that shit?!?!?

where do you think all the snow on the trees went
