I flew to Calgary to go meet Arturo in Sunshine, 1.5h from Calgary. Day #1 was ok enough snow, but while looking for more snow, ended up some snow waves where I missed one and ended up scraping the slope down with my goggles and nose:
my snowboard goggles pressed hard on my nose and ripped out my skin
Arturo took us big hot tub :)
Day #2 was supposed to be Lake Louise, but they got no new snow while Sunshine got another 4" or so, so we went back there:
I ended up on top of this cornice, and couldn't quite see down, but ended up painfully hiking back up. Good choice I guess
After that, we drove to Revelstoke for the next 2 days. No fresh snow on the first day, but the snow was cold and stayd in good shape:
open creek, sign me up
nice pretty birdies
we then went to hike up the top
took a little while to the top, and was only partially worth it
Day #4, revelstoke got a small dusting of a few cm, which made things a bit better:
I did some nice side country and they had helpful signs making sure I didn't get too far off track
After day #4, I had to leave Arturo there, and drove back to Lake Louise for the next day:
No fresh snow the next day, but Lake Louise was still good:
long ass line for the bottom lifts, happy I never went back down
a nice bra tree
a great run on the edge of the resort, except for the super flat section at the bottom. Thank got for poles.
by the end of the day, the crowds were a bit better
looks like they air lifted someone
After that, it was time to drive back to Calgary for a short city visit before flying home the next day. |
