I stopped in Lake Louise on my way home from the Shuswap on the weekend and there was alot of snow up high on Mt Temple, there was also lots in Rogers Pass.
Bring it On.
I say it will be sick the weekend of the Sled show here in Calgary( Nov 12) as I will have to work and miss out on the fresh pow, the next weekend is another story....Brraaappppp

I don't have pictures and some will think or tell me this is worthless but.....

In 2005 on Sept 11, I had my first ride that season!! It was just up the hill, with 12" of heavy wet snow, no base and lots of rock ticking the skis but it was first ride!

5th anniversary today and it feels like it should snow again today.....just saying

well i talked to those guys and they swear it was last week. still don't believe them, :eek: but i sure want to :d just can't wait to hit the powder. they said it was up on what they call the onion, for those familiar with the area, its like half hour from smithers up around 6000+/-feet.
