Skiing Conditions
Well
its looking like being one excellent week for the ski and boarding peoples of Calgary, 15 cm's of new snow alone at Sunshine last night.
Anyone looking for uncrowded skiing during the busy period should head for Goats eye mountain in Sunshine, if you get there first thing you will get fresh tracks and not many other people for at least 2 hours! and the back bowls at Louise are also good.
Anyway shame some of us have to work

Re: Skiing Conditions
May well see you there as well Sat, though we may go to lake lousie, depends on conditions.
In terms of runs, try the one to the right of continental divide on sunshine, Kev enjoyed that last time we tried - his approach was straight down :scared:

Re: Skiing Conditions
Well if we head for Sunshine, I would gladly do the run with you, my other halfs never too keen either, she seems to spend all day long questioning my choice of runs.
Another good run is, go right at the top of goats eye, and then you ski down down past some large rocks (conditions are wee bit icy for a while), hop over a small snow fence, and then you are into some great open areas, with trees at the bottom. Its pretty good, I have even persuded lisa to do it three times.
Regards Scotty
