Had an unexpectedly good day at Louise today. They had 10cm overnight but it loaded into some areas and so mid calf depth was not hard to find all morning. The afternoon was a bit of a wreck as the rocks started to get skied off and the groomed runs were typical lake Louise ice but the morning was so much fun and not busy at all.

I keep checking the long range weather and there’s never any snow in the forecast. I know the hills have been getting an inch or two here and there. But they need a couple of feet.
Hopefully it’s coming soon

Subscribe to Chris Tomer's YouTube channel. He will tell you where and when it's going to snow and provide and estimate of how much he is expecting.

Yup I’d say Louise and Sunshine need 60 cm each in a couple of big dumps. If you aren’t getting a minimum 10cm a week you are going backwards in my opinion. Be lucky to get that in January I’d think.

Yeesh... this is brutal. Latest into a season I have been without bothering to go to the hill even once.

Was at Louise yesterday (first day this season for us at Louise) and it was pleasant. A little firm but nice and warm with some sun, much better than staying in the city. Also spent a week in Fernie over new Years and conditions are great. Coverage was way better than this time last year with lots of new snow.

I was kinda waiting for Sunshine to put the Supercard on sale, they never really did and kinda too late now. I might not even make it out this year if conditions are mediocre, too expensive to risk a bad day.

Meh, a bad day skiing is still better than most days.

Yeah the super card sale isn't much these days. I think it was $80 on Black Friday for the 19/20 season but this year you saved maybe $10 if you got it on the app.
And agreed. We just go weekly regardless of the weather. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it isn't, but I never regret it when I'm there. Especially in the rockies, it's not worth stressing over the snow report and/or forecast.

That's... not a sink hole. The term sink hole implies that there was an event that caused the ground surface to collapse, which would be a freak occurrence. This is a NARSID due to a terrain trap. There are lots snow immersion deaths every year and they aren't one-off weird events; this is why people used to use avalungs in the PNW a lot more.

20x30 feet hole under the lift? I haven't been to Fernie since that lift opened (suddenly feeling quite old because I think it's been like 17 years since I last skied there)...can anyone picture this spot? Is it like a giant tree well under a lift tower or something?

Speaking of feeling old, one media report referred to the 67 year old man as elderly. Yikes. What is the technical starting point for elderly I wonder?
