Crazy crazy dumps here at Whitewater The dryest fluffy pow we've seen all winter, well with the exception of SNOWvember also with no sign of letting up anytime soon... SICK!

I had a lil visitor in the shape of Chip_board (Adam) the past two days. So sick to show him around Whitewater, especially with all the PowPow. I am pretty sure he is going back to Golden one happy chappy tomorrow!

Fun times...

My face =

Seriously, if any of you are thinking of heading out to Canada on hol's... HIT THIS PLACE.

Sure it's not got the number of runs or the vertical of Whistler (and that's all b*llocks to get tourists in anyway) or the scenery of Banff (and that wears as thin as the snow cover on bad years.. not to mention the cold) but if you want lots of champagne pow (the nice dry fluffy kind that gets up your nose - not the wet coastal stuff) that is liberally covering some of the most entertaining terrain I've ridden, that doesn't get tracked out in a few hours because there are pretty much only locals there and the line options (in the perfectly spaced trees between all the runs) are endless, and is just 15 minutes drive from one of the most interesting, alternative, laid back, pretty and real towns in BC (not a tourist fake-up) with loads of eat out options and a totally adequate nightlife..

Not to mention that you get to meet and ride with Dani who is a sweetie!..

DO IT. You will not regret it (unless you get REALLY unlucky and hit it in a v rare snow drought like what we had this year but then you can get them anywhere anyway)

Thanks Dani!!

Only if you can keep up...

You summed Whitewater & Nelly Ville to a 'T' Mr Macer. I look forward to your next trip out here. Have a rad day at RED tomorrow & a safe drive home

Guess we're REALLY unlucky then! Wish we could've got some freshies too

Spot on about Nelson/WH20/Dani though

(ps Dani....Delirium Dive was amazing today.... Get up here for a few laps once WH20 shuts down... 6cm's feels like 60!!! )

Sorry you missed it at it's best R-S..

Yeah, do it Dani.. I'm having a 1st Anni in Golden party on Friday night (and I could put you up) so you could hit up KH on the Saturday (and get to see me in Scooby Do) and then Sunshine on the Sunday.. It's a cracking drive up/down the 95 and/or via Revy.. but you prob know that!..

Red was just as much fun today once I was shown the sweet spots by a very sweet local.. apart from nailing another tree I had a blast!.. I gave this one a headbutt though so it won't do that again!..

Be great if you can make it up this w/e.. lemme know..

Ello ello. I can't make it up that way this weekend as it's Whitewaters closing weekend, that means Beach Party and slush cup madness

I am 90% sure I am gonna hit-up Revy on Thur though... anyone about?!

GONEboarding (touring) with my pup (Beagle) today in the super deep fluffy stuff that has fallen the last 2 weeks.

45cents in the last 3 days and that's not counting whatever fell yesterday/overnight... So pumped right now!

I am pretty excited to be earning my turns today as the hill is closed until tomorrow for the final weekend beach party.

Onwards & up...

Dang, you got our snow Dani!.. We were due a big one but just 14cm's since Weds pm.. :o(

Still, it's closing w/e so should be fun up there whatever!.. (woah, just heard a avalanche bomb go so maybe it's better than I'm thinking! LOTS of wind transport yesterday and the gondy was closed from 2 so Whitewall coud be pretty epic) Shame I gotta stay at home to prepare for 1st Anni party before heading up..

Enjoy!!
