I was in Castle all weekend too, it was SO PERFECT! Two of the best days i have ever spent on a hill anywhere in the Rocky's!
Saturday was tons of fresh snow, with a nice soft snow pack underneath. Easy to still find tons of un-touched ankle-midcalf deep champagne powder (which as i said, was itself on top of soft pack)!
Sunday was a little more skiied out, but still better then anything i have ever seen at Louise or Sunshine, even on the best days.
Very little wind and sunny too!!
The base was about 400cm, which was often visible as they seem to be running out of places to put the snow, and they have had 900cm of snowfall already!
Both days were busy by Castle standards, but still not busy by any of the major resorts standards.
Claeren.
