if you go directly under the peak 2 peak gondola there's usually tons of untouched powder in the trees. I over heard some locals talking about a secret park in there too. it's suppose to be way better than the park on blackcomb.

guys enough with the joke answers, help a brother out.

Spearhead traverse is a good mellow warm up, especially early season.
Dead on arrival (DOA) is a nice line on blackcomb, good thing to do if its foggy/cloudy.
The lost lake trails are where its at on a pow day for sure .

ski the cake hole all the way to the bottom, and then turn left...






























please don't actually do that

but seriously, olympic chair is awesome, you should definitely check that out.

Definitely hit up magic chair. It has tons of hidden jibs to get steezy on.

And AR7's will be an absolute no go! You need at least 170 mm underfoot

.
I've always found spatulas to be one of the most versatile skis. they kill it everywhere from pow to bumps to icy groomers.

You're asking where to ski in a year? Like any mountain, it is totally weather dependent. But if you ask any local-yocal, they will tell you the magic chair is where to find the best top to bottom untracked runs. Have fun.
