Training tomorrow. We have rain at the lower resort, will see what the ski area looks like tomorrow when we're up there. From the looks of things, we'll be able to hit our opening date.

Cousin of Beagle Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 Yes, it's true. It was posted on the Blackcomb socials. They do it every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 What I'm trying to say is, these Santa wannabes will have to come at midnight, to make sure they are among the first 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted December 17, 2023 Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 Crappy, crappy conditions, total of 4 runs open, including the Easy Rider... But, less crowd than typical for weekends. I saw 2 guys trying to carve a Moss and something else, Korean style, on soft boots, then one young guy on Mountain Slopes and a spring-hinged plate, and did few runs with Ethan on softies. My toys, 2 Coilers, VSR 165 and BXFR 160. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirui Posted December 20, 2023 Report Share Posted December 20, 2023 Looks like Manning has announced the opening date, Dec 22, with 61cm of snow on the top. My recovery from that crash at Whistler 3 weeks ago is faster than expected and I might be able to ride again in January. It's been tough sitting at home scrolling through social media and watch others ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted December 24, 2023 Report Share Posted December 24, 2023 (edited) We are down to 2 runs... Nice combined session, skiers/borders together, in the pm. Toy: BXFR Edited December 24, 2023 by BlueB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 Easy, Fork to Football Field, Panorama to Windjamer, are open. Limited width in some places. Very carvable snow, though. We had to many staff, they let me go early. BXFR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted December 28, 2023 Report Share Posted December 28, 2023 Light rain in the am, better in the pm. I had a nice 3hr private in the pm. 3800 169, "duck" plates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarcode Posted January 1 Author Report Share Posted January 1 Days 1-8 Snow is very, very low for what we usually have at this time of year at Manning Park. Blue chair only opened recently, for most of the time just the handle tow and T-bar have been running. Good for most lessons, just a shame that we still need more of a base to open our main chairlift. If we had snow machines the whole mountain would be open. Spotted Ray and our snow skate friends again. Carving on the T bar is unusually good, just a very short run. Wagon trail off blue chair is a bumpy mess since there isn't enough snow to push around for uniform grooming. Word from above is that we'll have bear chair open soon, but we can't open our main green run due to a stream running alongside it. New years party was fun... lots of alcohol.
