It’s here! (sorta)
So…the countdown continues for some places, but thus far, Lake Louise has graced us with the infamous and glorious Wiwaxy 5000.
Opening weekend was decent, and surprisingly fun. I headed up with the regular troops, and there was some nice run-ins with a few buds.
Lake louise is more bare than I can ever recall on an opening weekend, but they did a great job of having that one slice of heaven ready for us. The temperatures were rising, and it was such a treat to have spring riding conditions in November.
Sunshine bumped their opening til next week (fingers crossed). This is the first year in a LONG time that they have pushed it. I’m sure it will be ALL worth it, though. Judging by a few shots:
So for some reason, I really don’t mind the wait. I feel like it will be a great pay off when we all invade the mountain next weekend.
I’ll be heading up to Louise again this weekend, which I’m clearly stoked on.. but for some reason, it just doesn’t compare to how my season ended. I got spoiled with the taste of the back country… and it’s all I seem to think about… however, I have managed to not turn into a “snow snob”, and I will take what I can get. It’s also the people that make the experience that much better. I have some of the best friends in the entire world, and I can’t wait to spend another season with them.
On a completely unrelated note:
Next weekend is THE WEEKEND of all weekends to be in Banff. There’s a collaboration of birthdays, and sunshine will be open! There’s about 50 of us heading to Banff. Yes. FIFTY. We’re all staying at the Inns of Banff So if you would like to take part in this ridiculously fun weekend, check out the details on facebook:

We’re going to be shredding Saturday at sunshine, having some wobbily pops, and then an all night apres ski session starting at the hotel, followed with the sasquatch.
Just saying… if you were there last year.. then you should know.. it’s going to be an insane amount of fun!
Last years madness:
