Allee Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Okay, so I'm stoked to get on the hill this weekend. Bartron and I are going to be heading to Sunshine, except he'll be on softies cos all his hard boot gear is still in QC. If anyone's around, love to meet up.

Allee Posted December 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 The approach road was interesting, lots of cars and buses skidding and sliding - AWD and snow tires were totally the go. Hill was great for early season. Most of Goats Eye was open, but there's no facilities - the tent apparently burned down!! So no washrooms or shelter at GE, which is a PITA. But as a result ... deserted ... practiced my eurocarves on the far side of Sunshine Coast and had the entire run to myself (schweet!) Good coverage on the main hill, Angel is only open on Green Run and one blue, mogulled up drop-off (Red 90?) which means that you have to do that uphill part on the green run ... all the black runs off the front of Angel/Teepee are still closed with rocks sticking up. Didn't ride Divide, having far too much fun bombing from Green Run down to the village through the freshies to bother. Standish has powder everywhere - both Bartron and I got flipped on our backs today powering heelsides into piles of soft stuff ... fun. Wawa was good too, didn't get to do Tincan Alley (boo ... my favourite run) as it was closed for racing, but the rest of it was soft with good coverage. Had a blast today, a little cool, but awesome first day!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riceball Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Wow, what a detailed update! Thanks. I was at Nakiska yesterday and it was in excellent condition with no crowds. I just wish my early-season legs would have held out longer... Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
