Hahahaha!! Just watched your video Moose!! Looking good!
Awesome Rick A! Tahoe looks rad. I gotta get down there.
I've had lots of sick days this year. So many i'm having trouble finding time to report on them!
Erin and I had a couple of amazing days at Red. On the first day we hooked up with her ski patrol pal Zoe who showed us tons of goods!!
We found a few turns of our own before that..
Then the next day we hooked up with my buddy Danger Dave and he gave us the tour!
Old mine sorting facilities on Red Mountain.
We had stashed a car off the highway below Kirkup to start the day so we could enjoy an epic car lap. Unfortunately due to our late start, and Dave's tour, Erin decided not to join Dave and I to do this lap so we would be assured of making the 4:30 Kootenay Ferry outside of Nelson.

This sign line marks the end Red Mountain's tenure.

The car lap was epic indeed. Erin and I still managed to catch the ferry too.

When we got home, conditions were ripe to hit up one of my favorite off the beaten path zones.
These woods are so much fun.
It was still a bit tight getting in..
This log is pretty radical once things fill up..

Keep guessing. Very well known for his climbing prowess. Skiing, not so much.

Be careful with the off-limits areas!
That sounds like what we call Permanent Closure.
Here at W/B anything out of bounds is fair game, you are on your own pay for your own rescue territory. Just the way i like it.
Deep wet and fun up here today!!!

HOLY SH#T!!!!!!!!!
Got stuck in Tahoe Sunday night when 50, 88, and 80 closed. And boy I'm glad I did! Took a sick day on Monday.
Mott canyon at Heavenly was closed for two days during the storm, and when it opened....the snow that fell at the end of the storm with COLD temps, along with the COLD east wind, made for the lightest snow I've ever skied in Tahoe. Waist deep blower pow down a steep ass run. Can't ask for much more. I hate to say a resort run is one of my top three all time runs, but holy sh#t that was one of the best runs of my life. I was nearly choking on pow, and my face was covered at the bottom, because every turn was a blower face shot!!!!!!
Man I'm still psyched a day later. That was one of the best runs of my life!!!! :D

Shredding in Panorama. Great mountain, though we haven't had the good powder dumps, the snow has been good and warm enough not to be an ice-skating outing. Our first day we did get some freshies, but it was on top of a layer of ice, so kinda worthless, but since then it's been pretty good and the under layer has softened. Been cool riding with my bro, it's been a couple years. Heli high has some good steep trees and have found some good powder in there. With mostly nice groomed conditions we have been hitting the park a lot. Funny because we grew up always in there, then evolved into the whole mountain is a park attitude and probably been close to a decade since I've hit a table. I must say, it's been super fun charging the tables and obstacles. I'm pretty sure Jeremy and I are bringing straight airs back! 1080s? Pfft. Straight mute is way cooler.

Mammoth this past weekend was "open" but only three lifts and the gondola were running. Skied the top a couple of times but it was very icy. The storm on Sunday was a dud and poor visibility on Monday made me cut the trip short. But hey, a bad couple of days skiing is better than a good day at work.
