    Beautiful vid Stan! Glad to see the Powda! Been hard watching all the mud down the cat trails to the lifts the last couple weeks. That is some tight tree skiing in that cliff area! Nice job staying in one piece.

    I now understand why it was essential to legalise pot in Canada….the lineups, the lack of base, trees so tight they are not really rideable…..you’d need to be well cooked to enjoy that!

    Great one again Stan... I feel your pain!!! The same thing happen to me up at Jay Peak a couple of weeks back, could not ski the next day. Luckily I am getting much better after a few Physical Therapy sections, just got back from Stowe and first day was pain free but yesterday felt a bit tender again so I stopped early... plenty of sason ahead to enjoy!!! watch out for those trenches and keep it coming!!!

    Wow! we were there from 18/12 to 3/1 and it was still brown to town just can't believe the transformation. We bowed out of the Creekside line on Boxing day at 08:45 not having moved for 15mins so props to you for having faith and patience. Would we have skied like you? Not a cat in hell's chance but really enjoyed watching you slay it.

    Thx for posting the line because it gives destination skiers a taste of the growing resident populations of Vancouver, Squamish, Whistler, & Pemberton that are high percentage pow hounds, snow snobs. If you're a family looking to spin groomer laps on a mid-mountain lift on a pow day, then be prepared to wait. Massive pow panic.

    Saturday was so dope! Couple bad line-ups but the skiing was absolutely stellar. Love a pow day in early Jan when the sun isn't strong enough to bake the snow yet. Was also on the Harmony program but went over to Flute when the lines got bad. Wish I was up today another 30cm and midweek... hope to see another vid haha.
