lowrider Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 If you guys play the banjo i'm not comming. On a serious note what is the best way to get to Whitfish comming from Nelson BC ? Might be three humanoids and two dogs . Any place to stay thats dog friendly. (Rescue dogs in training). Tell me it's not going to be -40 and i don't have to bring my one piece suit as well.

west carven Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 howdy all didn't know what to expect after wenesday and thursday's meltdown. kinda knew it would be very icy, but today it wasn't so bad. there was an inch plus of new snow and was snowing all morning and stopped in the afternoon. really icy firm made it hard to dig in at times, but was mostly carvable up high. still lots of rocks showing up and down low on toni matt grass still showing thru. not the best day, but still had fun. rode my 160speed from 9:30 till 4:30...

Either to Creston and down to US 2 if you like more miles in the US, or through Cranbrook to US 93 if you want to stay on Canadian roads longer. Looks like similar mileage. I've never been beyond Troy on US 2, so only know that Cranbrook to Whitefish is easy (no nasty passes, good plowing). As for the one piece, it's mandatory.

lowrider Posted January 9, 2012 Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 My wife burned the two piece. Hope it doesn't get too cold they may look dated but you can't beat them for warmth. Looks like Creston route is most probable unless i go directly from Castlegar airport. Trying to connect the dots tonite to make this trip possible. Thanks for the reply.

west carven Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 howdy all knew it would be good with slighty cooler temps and no new snow. the groom is really buffed out smooth, the bottom part was a hair icy in the morning, but with a beautiful bluebird morning and the sun shining it softened up just right then some clouds kept it perfect in the afternoon. had a berney sighting in the morning and met big canuck in the summit and did a few runs with him on eds. very light crowds and upper mullys still had cords late in the day. still hitting rocks and cringe every time. forcast is some snow early tomorrow. rode my fp171 from 9 till 4...

big canuck Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Pretty sure I own that 158 now. Think about the trade bud. It was fun riding with you today, had a blast. It was a beauty day on the hill today. Carbo Monster comes out tomorrow. My buddy Brenny crashed right after you left, spine board, trip to the hospital. He's ok, but stiff.

Cuban Carving Gooding Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Big Canuck don't drink up all the beer before the Cleveland two get in town. How is the Bierstube is it still open ? Do I need a rock board? I'm thinking about leaving the new toy at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slopetool Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I'm looking into getting a room at the Hibernation House Motel right there on the mtn. Its double occupancy and I need someone else to go in with me on a room for the nights of Wed. Jan 25th and Thurs. 26th. Its only $79 per person per night and lift ticket and breakfast are provided. Anyone interested? Please let me know. Thank you, Ed 406-207-9004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big canuck Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 still trying to empty this town of beer!!!! Damn they have a lot!! We will not be deterrred!!! Crazy conditions on the hill, (almost) needed the rock board yesterday, It was wicked bluebird, nice carving conditions for the most part IMO Today, blowing snow, tough vis, all good for the WTF'rs inbound i'd say. Busted out the Madd BX board with the Burton Sabbath softies and had a blast. You'd do a run on the backside and by the time you finished the run and took the chair back up you could not see your tracks. Cuban, yesterday I would have told you bring the rock board, today a guy needed the AM board. I'll follow up tomorrow. I think they're supposed get more snow tonight.
