Sun Peaks opens November 19th. This thread will be pretty slow since it is usually just me there, but I am hoping to attend the carve camp and get some good photos of other riders.

It is also the 50th anniversary of the mountain this year.

I hope to get to SP at some point this winter as I have never been there. Perhaps I will see you there.

Let me know when you are up. There are a couple more guys and we could have a mini expression session.

I'll be at Sun Peaks from the 17th to 23rd of Feb. If anybody wants to meet up for a day or two of carving I'd be in for a mini-session. Might get some people from the US too.

Hmm. That's around the time I was thinking of trying the hill out.

December 3

Runs were well groomed, with hard packed icy snow. Today was 50% off lift passes so I went early to beat the crowds.

Today was also the first day with my new liners and Coiler AMT 168. I only made 4 runs today and my feet were a bit sore and wanted to be able to dance tonight at my company xmas party.

Overall a great 2 hrs worth of carving. The AMT is much easier to ride than my 4WD 179 that I had last year. It was worth every penny.

Does anybody (Bora) have the desire to organize a 2 day mini-event during the dates I had mentioned?

I do not have time to organize anything, but will be there if there are others around.

Mike made it up for the weekend and made some turns with his son filming. Snow is great so far this year.

1st day of carving camp with Mike Jacoby, Doug, Tom, Chris, and myself.

Snow was great and we learned lots on this day.

2nd day of carving camp....all of our legs and knees are sore.

Snow was perfect, our technique not quite.

4th day of carving camp (I had to take the 3rd day off for my daughter's birthday).

Sunshine was out, but it rained lower down yesterday and made it hard and fast.

I only made it until 1:30 and my legs were done. Others had to catch planes and we all had a great time.

The new Coiler definitely got a workout!
