Update on 24th:
It was foggy, visibility was variable at night. Kinda bumpy every where. Only stay for an hour then left.
Update on 25th:
Uploaded on first tram. Hero groomed condition on The Cut. Did 4 runs then rush to the tram to download before the traffic arrived.
Update on 27th:
Soft little bumps everywhere. If engaged the edge, the board cut through the snow. On cat track (Heaven Sake), saw an asian rider (light green jacket and pants) on hard boot. Passed him few time.
Will go up again this evening and night for hard boot and freeride training. Look for bright orange jacket!

Congrat Gord! You should definitely come to Vancouver!
I will be go up to Whistler for gates training with snow school. Hopefully, it will be fun!

Update on 22th:
The bumps on the peak were too big and too close. I can only ride on the side of the run. Cat track (heaven sake) was very icy and Expo was icy with small bumps Good for working on edging!
Update on 23th:
Tonight, it was very icy on Peak and Expo. The Cut was better. They had groom the Peak, so all the bumps were gone.

Riding at Whistler during the day. Saw a couple hard booters. Happened to sit with one of the riders on Burton Factory Prime. His name is David. He was doing the time trial in the boardercross track on race board. David, told me there will be a PGS event next month. Probably, I will bring my athletes up to do that race.

Saw some of you guys on solar. If it wasn't because of work, I would definitely ride with you guys.
Update on snow condition:
Feb. 20: Most bumps/moguls run got fill-in. Nice carving snow condition.
Feb. 21: Little bumps build up during lunch. Still good snow condition.
Will go up to Whistler until Friday. Riding softies.

Went up yesterday and tonight.
Update Feb 20:
1st run down centennial, condition was great. But Olympic chair broken down. So I have to hike 20min to the other side. Did 2 runs on the Cut. Snow condition was soft, but too slow. Easy to carve, but too much people. 20 min line-up. Saw one guy on hard boot, look like a burton step-in with Volki RT 158.
Tonight, snow condition was soft, wet and stick on flat. Rain for about 10-15 min.
Will go up Wed, Thu, and Fri. Hard boot on Wed and Fri.

Hi Tenorman, I was in the lodge and it was foggy out there. Look like he was on a pointy nose board and rode with his daughter. I think I saw an asian rider the other day. Couldn't see what he's on.
Grouse's forecast said snowing skies. Hope it will be like this all day and tomorrow.
-
Update Feb. 17:
Great condition in the morning. Saw one guy on hard boot with F2 board on the Cut.
Started raining after lunch, then became heavy wet snow. Not many traffic.
Will go up tomorrow and Sunday. Then, head up to Whistler for a week.

Here is a link to photos of our race, a great time was had by all.
I can see the future olympian racer! :)

Pan, is the BX course the one by Solar that is always open to the public? If so then it's all rollers and banked turns... :)
Yes, it's the one beside the Solar chair. Mostly berms -> rollers -> berms, very simple.

Update on Feb. 09:
Raining, condition was soft and wet. Visibility is good. Very few people on the hill. May cancel the training tomorrow night. Planning to go up to Whistler on Monday to do more training.
-
We missed the race this season. Definitely, will come down next season.

Update on snow condition at Blackcomb:
Perfect condition for carving on Jersey Cream. Yesterday, condition became soft after lunch. Today, most of the time were flat light. Long time haven't carve on groomed runs!!! Feel GREAT!
-
From 17-23th, I will have CASI courses. I've tried the BX track at Blackcomb on race board. Definitely, have more advantage due to the berms.
-
On Thursday February 9, there will be snowboard races on Midway.

If I can find my friend to replace my snow school training at Grouse that night, I will come over to do the race.

Came back from training this afternoon. Condition was soft under the sun. Small bumps everywhere, and not many traffic. The bumps on the Peak are getting really big and tight! Need to sideslip few bumps to go through. Will head up to Whistler tomorrow and Wed. Then head to Cypress to do the race on Thursday. Will resume training on Friday.

The links you posted are not working. Can you post them again? thx

Yesterday, Icy on Peak and Expo. Lots of traffic yesterday, mostly are the kids from ski club.
Tonight, they put lots of snow. Little better than yesterday, but still icy.
Will take a 2 days break, then head to Whistler next week.
Currently, it's snowing outside!!!

Came back from CASI 2 course tonight. Good visibility, but very icy for soft equipment. I wish I was on my hard boot.
-
Went up during lunch time. Very foggy. Riding mostly on Peak, and Expo. Snow condition is ok, but most of the time are white out.
Will go up again this evening for CASI 2 course. Hope it will clear up.
By the way, I saw Bret Tippi coaching the NSST SBX time at Grouse last week! He was on a Kessler boarder-cross board.
