Baby Jesus's b-day TR

[Brian]

Showed up around 1:00.... the lot had about as many cars as it gets on a midweek night.

 

The snow conditions were good except for:

The trails are getting dirty. No bare spots, but the snow's definitely not white.

White Lightning and Smoke were very choppy. They knocked down all the moguls and groomed it, but it was far from corduroy.

 

 

Positives from when I was there on Saturday:

The lazy river is fully covered and groomed. No more roped off areas in front of the lodge.

Lower Runaway was open and in good shape. It was nice to take a top-to-bottom run from Whistler to Runaway.

Spike will probably be next to open.

 

Negatives:

Spike will probably be the ONLY one to open in the near future. Doesn't look like anything's been blown on Upper Runaway, the race course trail, or Highball. Plus it'll be a while for any features on Spike since coverage is still very thin.

 

 

It was awesome to get some turns in for baby Jesus.

Glad to hear you got out!

 

They better get some snow on the race course trail or else it's going to be an ugly start like last year. Racing in the dark....Yikes!

Hah.. tell me about it. But one good thing about Sno is they can blow a ridiculous amount of snow when they get all their guns going.

Anyone up lately?

Rode today for a few hours, snow was pretty heavy as expected, but nice. Lower runaway and Spike are the most recent trails open. Doesn't look like anything else is going to be open without a couple days worth of blowing though. Be up tomorrow afternoon sometime.
