Super cold snow is unrideable out this way. I went to Kicking Horse after a solid week of -30C temps, dropped off the first run, and stopped. It was like glue. We had to ride in areas where it was sun exposed, because anything in shadow would bring you to a screaming halt
Kicking horse on a carve board???? Man, not too much terrain there to lay it out!!!
I was out there last year when that couple disappeared, had my hard boot set up and only used it one day. Skied the rest of the time.. too much steep and deep.
