As far as I could tell from some research, its $59.99/day walk-up price when its at regular pricing. But right now it sounds like its 40% off for the early season pricing since probably a lot of it isn't open yet, plus they close at 4pm. So you're probably looking at $36/day before taxes right now.

Looking at whistler prices this year, for accommodation and lift tickets. Fuck. I may never go up there again and just do 2 or 3 catboarding trips instead.
Has anyone been to stevens pass or summit at snoqualmie? I definitely don't need the size of whistler if it means there aren't 950 billion people in the line for peak chair so they can be first to side slip West bowl and do two hours worth of snow removal on their first track.

Whister can be fantastic but is just out of reach time and money wise.
My buddy who moved to Seattle has said good things about Stevens Pass, I'm heading over in January to give it a shot.
Have you checked out Mt Baker? I went two years ago and was impressed. Definitely not as busy as Whistler.

^ was at baker last yr
pure boarding, no town to go boarding, no town to meet locals. we rented a cabin with 10 people, old school hipster cabin type living. Very cool.
distance wise it's "closer" than Whistler but longer to get there due to border. You then also save so much from beer drinking cause USA piss beer is so cheap.

Yeah I do about 3-4 days in baker a year. It’s awesome, but even it is getting overloaded on weekends now. The border the last few times I’ve gone has been really mellow though. The guys at the Dumas crossing are pretty friendly at 530am when your car is full of snowboard gear.
I’m disappointed about whistler as that was a major factor in us buying our place in north van, but 135 dollar lift tickets to wait in line is garbage. I’d gladly pay it if it wasn’t bursting at the seems and there was actually pow to ride in bounds after noon.

ive never found baker to be busy, i went there 3x last year. border wait is non issue if you have nexus and cross.
USA has so many wicked craft beers and they have craft beer and wicked food at the baker lodge so i dunno how anyone can call it piss beer unless you choose to drink coors banquet or something.

Went to Cypress today. Did not disappoint. It was dumping all day to the point that the parking lots were fucked. Awesome day considering the fact that it's the middle of November. Visibility was okay.
Just wish more runs were open

It kind of reaffirmed what I complained about earlier though. It took us over an hour to pick up our lift tickets, line ups were massive. We were lucky to get home as I heard it was taking people over 6 hours to get back to Van.
Lift tickets were $132, no early season discount for 1/8th of the mountain being open which is a bit shit.
Its like travelling to a world class restaurant paying for your 12 course tasting menu and them telling you its actually just gonna be 3 courses tonight.
The terrain and snowfall are so good, its just offering way too little for what it costs. This is the first time in 7 years i won't be getting at least a 5 day edge card. It feels bad.
The runs I got though were great. I'll likely ride local next week then get a baker trip in the one after.

I thought about going to Whistler today, but I didn't want to pay full price for only one mountain opening. Probably going next week when Blackcomb opens on Wednesday.

Definitely recommend on a pow pow day.

I caved and bought a 5-day restricted Edge Card as I'm in Pemby and Whistler is so accessible.
RS Meet on the Mountain?

went to cypress today and it was great, a lot of fresh snow and the snow didnt let off.
visibility sucked tho, but couldnt really complain with the nice snow.
a couple of icy spots on like blacks and shit, but blues and green were pretty much good to go
watch out tho, with many kids learning to ski and board, speed patrol is out.
cypress this year is offering a new card similar to the GOLD CARD. its called the SKY CARD, about $200 - includes 3 free lifts then the regular discount after that the gold provides.
if you dont go cypress too often, saves yourself about 40$ on lift tickets and then whatever savings after

Anyone know where to get discounted big white lift tickets? Checked Costco and there's nothing. Also booked an airbnb, so can't take advantage of the resort discount (not much of a discount)
TIA

Can you guys recommend a shop that can do board tuning (edge + hot wax)? I no longer have the space at my place to do it.

Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk | I know some places in Kelowna sell the 5 packs, you can also get a discount by reloading your day pass online. If you have a pass at another hill check the reciprocal discount and also check BCAA if you're a member.

I only use a merino wool neck tube/buff. Top of the tube goes around the top of my head, bottom of the tube at my chin. Tuque and/or helmet on top. Jacket zipped all the way up all the time unless I'm getting something from an inner pocket or I'm dying of heat.
This is the only way I can actually get adequate ventilation for my damp breath. Anytime I am heading uphill, my body is producing enough heat to keep the chill off. On the way down, simply hiding inside my jacket provides adequate protection. I haven't lost the end of my nose to frostbite yet  .
If you find that the airhole balaclava, the one with a literal hole for you to breathe through, condenses too much moisture; maybe it's the execution of the equipment and not the equipment itself.
