Kicking Horse/Golden, B.C. Conditions Report: Cold, Crisp, Beautiful Day Kicking Horse was crazy fun yesterday. We stuck to the gondola and Stairway to Heaven chair, and got a couple runs of CPR Ridge and in Feuz Bowl. Lots of soft snow still in the run-outs and trees. Chutes were chalky. The lower half of the mountain was mostly packed out either groomed or moguled but sufficient coverage, and great […] Conditions Report Matt Bansak | December 24, 2017 0 Comments
Chalk and Windbuff at Mammoth, February 4th Conditions Report Yesterday was fun at Mammoth. After a great week in Tahoe, Lauren Bibby and I decided it would be a nice change of scenery to head down to Mammoth. They have been doing quite nicely as well, with over 3 feet of snow in the last week. The conditions did not disappoint. While there wasn’t much untracked powder left, we lucked […] Matt Bansak | February 5, 2016 0 Comments
Snowbird Conditions Report: January 12, 2016 Snowbird was fun today. Fortunately it has stayed cold since the last storm, and although the vast majority of the mountain has seen a lot of skier traffic since then, the snow has remained soft. We found some nice windblown areas, and with a little scouting, we were even able to find some pockets of untracked. Somewhat expected, getting into some of […] Conditions Report Matt Bansak | January 13, 2016 0 Comments
Mt. Baker Conditions Report: November 20th For only being their second day open, today was really fun at Mt. Baker.

TODAY: Tahoe Powder Day! The Stoke is in Full Effect | Photo Tour: Today was the first real powder day in Tahoe. Not only was it a powder day, but it was one of the better ones in recent memory. Mount Rose was favored by the last wave of precip and got a nice dumping of blower pow on top of several inches from a storm last week that left some semblance of a base. Stoke levels were high, face shots were plentiful (along with maybe a couple core shots), and high fives were irresistible. Matt Bansak | November 10, 2015 0 Comments
