PhotoTim, Looks like it was not just the snow that was dumping. Did you airbrush the toilet out?

So my brother left on wednesday morning and my mate rich (some of you met him at EOSB 07) arrived wednesday evening. I managed to get a couple of hours in on wednesday morning in a foot of fresh and this morning had a great time in pretty much the same. Hardly anyone else on the mountain today and it was dumping all morning so was filling up as we rode and there were freshies everywhere!
Day off tomorrow oh yeah

hd, locals were telling me I'd picked the best 10 days for a long time. One said the best for 5 or 6 seasons. Long may it continue. 7 weeks to go...

yeah just a bit. I was up late that day so missed the real good stuff although I got a sweet ride in cedar bowl. Haven't had any snow for a couple of days now but hopefully it will dump soon. We have about the same amount of base as whistler despite the snow fall coming waaaaaaaay later! The average snowfall here is something like 8m and we have had over 5m in just over a month! Still have the big dump months to come

Sick this morning - maybe one of the best pow days we've had -but no Currie/Cedar by the time we had to come off the hill at 1, so even the relatively low local traffic tracked it out pretty fast... I think it's just the avvy risk slowing up other bowls opening, hopefully this weeks cold snap will consolidate it and start getting things safer.

great day had by me and rich too. Woke up to over 20cm in town and because it was a little wet, everything was caked in it. Anyway, got on the hill by about 9:10 and headed straight up timber and then white pass. After a few nice runs through some trees we noticed a ski patrol girl waiting on the ridge at the top of the bowly bit in timber (Dave whats that bowl called?). People were gathering in anticipation for the opening so, like sheep we joined. Rich moaned at me for sitting around but then she gave use the go ahead to rip on down and boy was it worth it. 30 or so people raced into the bowl all at once all shouting and everyone on the lift cheering too! I cut down the right and go fresh all the way down. Short but oh so sweet. We did a few more runs including surprise trees and then hit morning glory before lunch. After a huge heap of discount nachos (perks of the jobs ) we headed into Cedar to find it all but deserted. One particular bit was still almost fresh (i think the wind had blown it flat again) and we had some fantastic runs down that.
Its sooooooooo good to have some snow again! Beer Bong Bingo tonight so better get my drinking hat on...

Absolutely no idea which bowl you mean  I can't think of anything off Timber that's ever shut? Guessing you don't mean Currie?
May well see you at Bingo, mates had a messy one last night to celebrate their CSIA but I had an early one as it was nuking snow... looking dry tonight so a hangover awaits tomorrow I think...

oh dear, did you really?! I'm proud to say west fernie won the ghetto games.
I'm having a few days off riding to let my body recover slightly but hopefully early next week I'll be out with some good boarders and skiers sessioning some kickers for photos.
More snow expect here sometime around the weekend

well thats good. Its dumping now and hopefully it will carry on tonight. Weather here is very weird, dumps can come out of nowhere and generally we get a LOT more accumulation than is forecast. As for the cold temps just make sure you have some form of face mask! Temperatures can also change at the drop of a hat.

It didn't First time the Griz and weatherman has let us down - the predicted 5-10cm didn't show up, today was decidedly icy.
Oh - and Tim, we're going to the pub (at park place) for free pool tonight then to the royal later if you fancy it dude.

Very cold and dry at the moment, forecast has no snow for tonight now and only a maybe for the weekend. Bit weird having groomers! No crowds at all though, it's quite nice after the hardship of non stop snow for a month - though I'd still prefer some more of that!

I'm still optimistic. GFS precipitation charts continue to show lots of blue blobs on/near Fernie, darker on Sunday.
