If the weather's OK, thinking of heading out for a morning of carving, and then a couple of hours in the park afterwards. Anyone else going to be around?

Steph and I will likely be there, although she's a Sunshine girl despite my protests!

I was there yesterday, snow conditions are great bout I think they have races there for the next three days?

That's cool. It's the same most weekends, just means you have to look out for rabid straightliners, and they'll have Whoop-Up and Mapmaker closed. Aside from that, it's pretty much business as usual.

I want to get down to Nakiska one more time this season. When does the snow start going south? I'd like to get one more good day in.

The snow today was fantastic! With all the dumps and not too much above zero temps, I'd hope for a long season.

Sorry I didn't make it out yesterday ... I went to Louise on Sat, after what I didn't think was that hard a leg workout on Thu ... only to have my legs completely quit on me after five runs! So stayed home yesterday ...

The Nationals start on the 24th and run for a week up there, so I'd make it before then. Over that weekend the hill will be full of racer types and it's likely all the lounges and lodges will be closed off for them too. There's races for the next 2 weekends too, but they're just class stuff, the hill should be fine.

I'm going to try and make it up next weekend. Fingers crossed it warms up a bit, it's still really cold overnight.

I realize my reliability on getting out has been less than stellar but I'm planning on coming down on Friday Mar 18th for a day of riding at Nakiska. I won't have my family but I may have a new carver along with me and possibly a softbooter. If they bail I'll be alone.

BTW I suprised the crap out of myself on Thursday by being able to carve the blue faces. And was happy I figured out how to toeside EC right on the last steep slope at the bottom Lower North Axe in full view of Silver Chair ;). Now I want to get the heelside EC down.
