 Poster: A snowHead
|
Sunshine resort opened significantly on Saturday. All except Goats Eye mountain, Contintental Divide lift and Tee-Pee were running by the end of the morning.
On piste (groomed) runs were good although a little icy in the morning (-15C). Off-piste got tracked out pretty quickly and there were plenty of rocks showing by the afternoon. Loads of snow fences still erected on the upper slopes so not fully open by any means but a very good start.
The ski out was open but had a few rocks on it around some of the bends.
Lake Lousie allegedly has some of the backside open but not visited there so can't comment further. Lot of snow on the Nordic trails though at Lake Louise.

banfflakelouise, what is the snowpack like this year at Sunshine? The Lake Louise lowdown is potentially the best thing ever.

Looked at the cams for Sunshine yesterday for the first time this year. Wow.
Wasn't expecting to see so much snow compared to europe, how does this compare to past years.
I think it's time we went back, pity the exchange rate is so horrid at the minute.

Last year, we had good early snow - looks like this year is shaping up well so far. All the resorts are aiming for early November opening, with Norquay doing their traditional Halloween opening.
Igluski.com has some good historical snow history here: http://www.igluski.com/canada/banff-snow-history_242
Would love to see you folks this winter!
