Ski/Snowboard 17/18 Thread
 

It's not too soon.....right?

I'm stoked.

Where is everyone riding this year? I'm hoping to venture out into the interior/baker this season as I have never been before. I picked up a Cypress pass so I can fit in some after work runs too.

Never too soon.

Picked up my Whistler earlier this year can't remember what deal I got. I think I got the deal with unlimited early season ski/snowboarding with 5 day pass.

Don’t think I’ll be able to afford much mountain time this year, but I’ll drive up with my friends for a good time, cypress a few times for sure and a couple days in whistler, as my friend has a condo up there

Purchased a silver xtra pass for this season, just have to pick it up from Cypress. :)

We should have some RS cypress meets! I think like 5 years ago we had a bunch, biggest turn out was just over 10 people.

And an earlier one to get pictures at the waterfall :p

Cypress :) I would be down to come to a RS meet.

I'm down but I'm still noob lol

I've got my Big White pass already, and I might be doing a trip to Revy or Golden in January. Has anyone been to Golden? How is it in terms of weather and snow conditions?

And how's Revy for that matter? We're thinking of making the commute to check it out this year.

It's okay, im a complete noob as well. :okay:

I haven't been there in a decade, but when I went it was epic.

PSA for early printing of your Cypress pass

SAT OCT 28 12pm to 5pm
Pacific Boader 1793 West 4th Ave, Vancouver

Revy is consistently great and often amazing. The snow is fantastic and the mountain is well set up. Golden is good too, but not worth the extra drive past Revelstoke. Coming from the Alberta side, Golden is closer to Calgary and often people don't want to drive the extra time to Revy (or the pass is closed).

After looking at the terrain maps again I might aim for a day at Revy this year. Golden/Kicking Horse looks like it has some great terrain, but when you really look at the map most of the black/double black runs are fairly short and you'd spend most of your time either traversing to them, taking feeder blues and green back from them, or going up one or more lifts back to the top. Revelstoke requires a bit of lift shuffling too but at least it looks like the majority of the time you're actually on the types of runs you want to be on.

That was what I didn't like about my trip to Fernie last year (aside from the lack of fresh snow), it seemed like I was spending all my time traversing, on feeders or on lifts just to get 3 turns in on the fun stuff.

Where do you guys get your boards waxed/maintained? Looking for a good place, preferably in the Burnaby/East Van areas.

I got a new board, but my wife's board probably needs some maintenance before the season starts.

interiors is the way to go with champagne powder boarding; the only catch for Revy is that it's vertical, so there ain't a lot of green runs for gfs or sign. others who aren't good to go boarding with you.

My friend got hers waxed at Sports Junkies on Broadway and she didn't have any complaints

yeeeep.

HELL YEAH MOTHERFUCKERS!!!

I'm having a really hard time finding on Cypress' site what the walk-up rates are. Anyone have a link? All I can manage to find is the deal-searcher calendar which shows nothing.
