Locals in the know are saying that this is the best season in 20 years (so far). Nice report, Gorg!

Well played, sir! Sometimes the low tide adventures are the best adventures.

Great story, thanks for sharing. Good inspiration for our WWHSTA project up here in the Hinterlands.

He walked out with a lot of support. A crew went up from base camp with a sled but he was more comfortable postholing out, though still in a lot of pain. It is a very painful injury, though not terribly severe. Hospital staff told us that we "did everything right." Had we called EMS, the evac...

This past Saturday was a great day for a Twigfest, though it ended painfully for one of the crew. Shoulder injury (separated and dislocated) after a tumble resulted in a trip to Huntsville Hospital, with me at the wheel. Nothing like driving for an hour trying to make conversation with someone...

We got it when we moved here, so about 17 years old. Definitely showing some age but still sittable.

The chair is looking phat. Twigfest is coming up this weekend, should be good conditions and hopefully not brutally cold like most years. Or cancelled due to lack of snow, like the last two years

If it wasn't for the border, I'd be all over the 7TMs.

I dunno, looked a little tracked out. :cool:

A bit late in posting this but Telemark Dave and I had a nice ski at the Limberlost Forest last week. All pics by TD. In TD language: "Running down a dream of more snow than there was...

Such a great opening line.

The 88 would likely be a great ski for the Xplore setup. I tried a retractable leash (Flexi brand) early on but it was a big tangle problem in thicker forest. With the rope, I can just let her go and pick up the other end as it goes by. Or yell. "hey Dave, catch the dog!"

Vagabond BC 97. He has a love/hate relationship with those skis. They are quite stiff overall, especially in the tip, so tend to dive downwards in deep snow when skied with stiffer boots and active tele bindings that create more tip pressure. He says they are great for a firm base with a bit of...

Telemark Dave (remember him? He says hello and misses you folks), Moira the dog and I visited the Limberlost Forest for a ski this morning. We've had a little more snow, so it was worth having a look. In the end, we opted for a good old-fashioned ski tour, as the glades were still a little...

Not sure what happened there.

The customary briefing. Olive the dog recognizes that it is better to beg forgiveness than ask permission (we try to have a no-dog policy at events to cut down on potential mayhem). The t-bar line was skied. I asked if anyone managed to get at least three linked turns. There was a lot of...

Ya, its been weird. Snow, thaw, freeze, etc. repeat. Our WWHSTA group had some somewhat decent conditions fro an outing last weekend: I don't know about you, but most of my backcountry ski days begin in the grocery store parking lot. The SKia is ready to go. Our fearless leader shows off...

You are an inspiration, Mr. Warp.

Happy birthday from your Hinterlandian friends. Send some snow up north!

Crazy. We were even discussing this topic at the dog park in the Hinterlands.
