johnasmo Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Thursday snow report: Fresh corduroy. Hero carving conditions. Woo hoo! Got a few runs in before having to go online this morning, and saw a good turn out of carvers today: Cuban, Slopetool, West Carving, New Dave, Mario, Rick, Kinpa, Kram, and Rob Berney. We're into double digits today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnasmo Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Just a few more WTF 2013 shots... Clouds reflected off Whitefish Lake (taken with Cuban's phone).

west carven Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 howdy all what a great day! eds was perfectly flat in the morning and the snow conditions was perfect. heard sunday had chicken heads from saturday's warm bluebird day. i had a funny feeling yesterday that the season was over cause it was so warm it felt like a spring day, but today's snow fixed all that. today was amazingly good and it got better as the day went on. should have brought the bigger board as there was hardly anyone on the hill... awesome day... rode my 165amt from 9 till 4...

west carven Posted February 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 howdy all just like yesterday, but a tad firmer and it got better as the day went on. classic big mtn fog all day. again flat light with the high clouds. temps was comfortable and feels like a spring day. really need some new snow and cooler temps. after lunch getting back on snow a little kid about 4 or 5 years old says "i like your board, its a beauty" made my day... rode my 176vsr from 9 till 4...

west carven Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 howdy all worked in the morning then up to the big. when i got on snow it was already bumped up and set up into wet hard piles down low and kinda soft piles up high, not the best conditions. as per usual fog all day then lifts around 3:30. it was a tough day carving the bumps... very spring like conditions... rode my 165amt from 1 till 4...

west carven Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 howdy all really nice firm groomers, brought the small glass board cause its saturday and had a blast , but a metal board would have rocked my world today. started the day with mostly cloudy skies with good vis then fog slowly moves in then clouds lifts about 1pm had lunch then it starts to snow till 4pm then low clouds near village and all around, but sun peaks thru on eds till 5pm. snow just got better as the day went on and it got just a bit softer by the end of the day. cooler temps kept things dry, but still very comfortable. a great carving day... rode my f2157sc from 9 till 5...

Allee Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) Hold that thought. I'll be down this weekend - it's Family Day long weekend in Alberta - which means that most of Calgary will be there with me. Fire up Chair 5.:) I'll see if anyone's in the lift line for Chair 2 at 9 on Sat ... Edited February 10, 2013 by Allee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
west carven Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 howdy all really great groomers! eds was so smooth in the morning. hardly anyone on the hill cause we havent had any new snow for awhile so all the powder hounds stay home. again, classic big mtn fog all day and pretty thick. we are in storm mode and cooler temps kept things dry. should get some new snow in the next few days. forcast is a busy holiday weekend... rode my 176vsr from 9 till 3:30...

west carven Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 howdy all we are in storm mode and it was a grey foggy day. thick fog from top of chair 2 and two chairs vis up high. fog slowly moves down and by 1pm it was creeping down to middle of eds run. groomers was really good, but with the flat light it was hard so i called it early. there was hardly anyone up today and the few who came left early. it was cold and damp, but still dry enough and didn't get wet, but it just wasn't worth it to be there all day. still had some good carving... rode my 171stubby tight from 9 till 1...

west carven Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 howdy all well, had to work wed., thu., fri., and we were supposed to get some new snow, but it was mostly blue skies the past three days with good vis all the way to the top. looked like it was going to be a sunny day, but as i got on snow high clouds moved in and just the summit had some lite fog. massive holiday madness made it a challenging day and groomers were better than i expected. met up with allee and took a few runs with her. did some chair 5 runs and all the lifts were spinning. took a fall at the bottom of the bowl, but did not get hurt, i think i did a spinout, a roll and a 360 spin on the tail of my board with me on the ground. anyways, a fun day on the hill... rode my 165amt from 9 till 1...

Allee Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Always good to meet up with you, A. My legs were pretty burned after I took those runs with you and Rick ... way out of practice. It was a shame the light was so flat on Saturday - Eds and the runs off Chair 2 were wonderful, and Big Ravine would have been fantastic if it hadn't been just one big white blob ... Later afternoon off Inspiration was good though. Got pow tracks on Chair 2 yesterday, and then two epic runs down Glory Hole ... giggling good times for Alex and I! Sorry I missed you today - we were all kind of done and the girls weren't keen on going up, so we got a headstart on the traffic and got home at a decent time. Planning on heading back down the last weekend of March to pick up my bike and take it home. Looking forward to making some more turns with you guys then.

west carven Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 howdy all big puffy clouds all day, spots of sunshine and good vis all day. groomers were not the best as there was bumps in the seems from yesterday three inches of powder. the high traffic bumped up the soft groomers and the warm temps made it kinda wet hard pack. i was on my small glass board and it wore me out. there was alot of people today and i hope tomorrow will be better. was looking for allee all day, but i guess she had a good powder day yesterday and was pooped. i'm glad you made it home safely. let me know when you'll show up again. another fun day... rode my f2157sc from 9 till 1...

west carven Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 howdy all looked like it was going to be a sunny day, but it started out with a super high overcast that filtered the sun and we had good vis. groomers were awesome, no new snow and second day pressing of the new snow made for some really good firm groom. still somewhat busy, but not too bad. about noontime the sky opens up with blue sky sunshine for a few runs then back to high overcast and by the end of the day just starts to snow. there was some dark clouds with snow coming from the northwest. forcast is some light snow... today was really good... rode my 171 stubby tight from 9 till 4...
