March 13, 2007.

Regretably, the Smith Optics Fernie Freeski Competition has been CANCELLED due the deleterious effects of the piña expresa, that has been $h*t-kicking the province since the weekend. You'll have to wait until next year for your chance to ski the headwall, win some cash, get thrown in jail (*cough*Bougie*cough*), and slide down the bar naked.

Or just come on out to the WSSF and join the doglotion crew where we will be engaging in all the aforementioned activities.

Buenos dias!

And now for something completely different: a tribute to our japanese, spanish and arabic friends..

Regretablyは、スミス光学Fernie Freeskiの競争取り消された賦課金$h*t-kicking週末以来の地域のずっとpiñaのexpresaの有害な効果である。 headwallスキーをし、現金に勝ち、刑務所(*cough*Bougie*cough*)で投げられて得、露出した棒を滑らせるあなたのチャンスを来年まで待たなければならない。またはちょうどWSSFに進展されて私達がすべての前述の活動で従事するdoglotionの乗組員に加われば。 Buenosのdias!

La competición de Fernie Freeski de la óptica de Smith ha sido deuda CANCELADA los efectos deletéreos del expresa del piña, que ha sido $h*t-kicking la provincia desde el fin de semana. Tendrás que esperar hasta el año próximo tu ocasión de esquiar el headwall, de ganar algo de efectivo, de conseguir lanzado en la cárcel (*cough*Bougie*cough*), y de resbalar abajo de la barra desnuda. O apenas adelantado hacia fuera al WSSF y ensamblar a equipo del doglotion donde engancharemos a todas las actividades ya mencionadas. ¡Dias de Buenos!

الاثار الضاره للبينيا expresa ، الذي قدره ح * ت الرفس الإقليم منذ نهاية الاسبوع. ولن يكون لكم الانتظار حتى العام القادم لبلدكم فرصة التزلج في هيدوال الفوز النقدية على بعض الحجارة في سجن (السعال * * * * السعال بوغي) ، وتنزلق المحامين عارية. او تأتي الى لوسف والانضمام الى الطاقم دوغلوتيون حيث سنكون منخرطين في كل هذه الانشطه. بوي

Cold Smoke in Fernie

It keeps getting better as it continues to snow here in the Fernie Snow Valley. The official reports are finally in from FAR, there has been 70 cm of snow since it started falling on Wednesday of last week... although it seems like alot more when your skiing it.

Sunday was probably the best turns of the season, it really doesn't get much better than this, a good 20 cm of the lightest driest Cold Smoke this valley can produce on top of the 50 cm received in the days before.

Beware of the Avalanche Hazard out there, we had large slab rip out on us on a south facing wind loaded slope.

Check out the latest video in the video section for some action

Contrary to what is displayed on RCR's skifernie.com it has snowed more than 40 cm this past week here in Fernie. It is probably closer to 100cm, and it is still dumping outside at 7 tonight and is forecast to continue for the next few days. I would imagine that the base is sitting somewhere closer to 150-160cm now. The mountain is in prime condition.

Today waist to chest deep turns were layed down on Tom's Run in Curry, and a few more lines were added to Surprise and Black Cloud in Timber Bowl.

I am getting a bit tired of skinning up the mountain everyday and I am really wishing that I could be riding the chairlifts to take advantage of the superb skiing conditions out there at the moment. I payed $1000 dollars for a SEASONS Pass this year, and I am beginning to wonder why I can't ride the lifts when the SEASON is now well underway. One can only wish that FAR will announce an early opening this week like so many other ski areas in Western Canada have done...

Ridiculous snow

This is just rediculous. What a start to the winter. Whistler has been epic. I missed today's action but the peak is sched to open for tomorrow and it's going to be silly. Meanwhile, I read skerboy's post about Fernie going mental, and then to boot, at work I get sent a link... http://www.mtbaker.us/snowreport/index.htm - to Mt Baker's snow conditions... "Our STORM TOTAL for the past 4 days is now 75 inches. WE NOW HAVE THE DEEPEST SNOWBASE OF ANY SKI AREA IN NORTH AMERICA! The series of cold fronts that have been coming to us from Alaska are keeping the forecasts looking great with significant amounts of snowfall expected on into the weekend and freezing levels possibly as low as 500 feet! With our base at 94 inches, there is a good chance we will reach the 100 inch mark this weekend!"

24 in 24 plus 24 and even more

It dumped last night... again. At least another 24 cm, and it is still dumping outside.

Headed out this morning at 7AM so we could get a ride in with Eddie before he had to head to work at the Guides Hut at 10AM. We headed up to the top of surprise trees again as it was so great yesterday. It was deep, yesterday was knee deep, today was waist deep, and tomorrow is going to be even deeper.

After Eddie headed back down to "the hut" JF, Ari and I were lucky enough to catch a ride on the back of a cat up to the top of White Pass. We blasted down 1,2,3's back to Tresspass trail, all the while hooting and hollering.

Things were too good to go home, so we skinned back up to the top of surprise for another helping.... it was deeper than the first run.

Time for one more before lunch... I think so. We headed across Timber Bowl past the new "Lost Boy's Cafe" and dropped into Big Bang, another first decent of the season. A few more faceshots on the way back to the base through North East Glade, and lower Sib Ridge made this the perfect morning.

At 3:30PM it is still coming down outside, and it is expected to continue through the night.

The skiing was too good today to break out the camera too much, but we got a quick clip of some of the deepest turns of the day... enjoy.

12 Hour: 10 cm / 4 in
24 Hour: 20 cm / 8 in
48 Hour: 30 cm / 12 in
Week: 90 cm / 12 in
Snow Pack: 75 cm / 30 in
Year to Date: 100 cm / 30 in

After the Easter Bowl Experience yesterday we thought things couldn't get much better for this time of year... well griz proved us wrong, as he often does here in the Snow Valley. Last night it snowed another 10 cm, adding to the 90 or so we have received in the past 3 or 4 days.

We figured we would tour up to the top of easter on the trail we broke the day before... the trail was gone, there had to be more than 10cm overnight. So we re-broke the trail to the top of easter, on the way up we watched 5 or so people drop into some sick looking lines in the high saddle. It looked deep! Easter Bowl was sweet, over the knees all the way to the bottom!

It was so good we figured, hey.. why not go up for another. We toured up the highway with about 10 other keeners to the top of the Bear. From there we dropped in off the rock band into upper cedar, those few turns were the most epic of the day, easily up to the waist of classic Fernie Powder!
