01/04 - sugarbush
01/05 - stratton (powder day!)
01/11 - jay peak
01/12 - sugarbush

01/18 - bolton - timberline opened the prior day and there was plenty of untracked lines to ski. Bolton is fast becoming a favorite and a place I will spend money off Indy pass

01/19 - ellen (powder day!) - I’m using the tag, fuck it. Only 2” up high but I found so much untracked snow in the woods. I skied powder most of the day so I’m calling it a powder day. Lift ops perfection with NRX running strong

01/20 - stratton (powder day!) - unquestionable use of the pow day tag here. 7-9” overnight. A little late arriving due to slow drivers but was on the chairs at 8:35. Wanted to hit the super trail but it was so chewed up just in the few min to ride sunrise, so I opted for woods instead. Perfect untracked lines in all stratton woods marked and unmarked. Summit glades to west pilot super tasty

Folks, I am declaring a Vtah, at least for NoVT and SoVT over 3k feet. We are one big storm away from upgrading the Vtah to a Verpan

Busy start to the vacation and lots of driving. So far, so good. Was a little nervous seeing the town of Banff have very little snow compared to what I’ve seen before. But each mountain has had a great base built up, just need some fresh snow to make it epic. Staying in Rev till Friday and should get some snow chances before then.

 

[KustyTheKlown]

nice. i will be there in 3 weeks. theyve had a banging start but seem to be in a high pressure zone right now. have fun. really hoping the hose turns on and stays on

 

[LoafSkier19]

Yeah. I was worried knowing they got mild temps just before we got there. Doesn’t seem to have affected them too bad. As is, Revelstoke was skiing great today.

Not going to make it back to K until early next week so I hit Belle today. They certainly haven't backed off the snowmaking and everything skied great. Naturals skied OK trees still bony but skiable. We need a good storm.

Another few cm’s of snow over night for a refresher with a bluebird day from the summit. Took advantage and hiked to the sub peak to ski the North Bowl 3 times.

19. 1/23/25 Revelstoke
12-15 cm powder day! Everything skied excellent. Trees, Trees, and more trees.

20. 1/24/25 Revelstoke
Another great day finding fresh snow. The Ripper glades skied excellent. Sweet Spot section opened after a 3 day comp and was the run of the day.

21. 1/25/25 Revelstoke
Bonus day. Was supposed to start heading back east Friday but decided we will just make the long trip back Sunday. When I get time tomorrow I’ll make a proper trip report for the whole week in the TR section with pics.

 

[KustyTheKlown]

So glad you got some powder days! That ridge was/is ugly

 

[LoafSkier19]

It’s pretty deep on that whole north side right now. Nothing too tricky to get into. A bit skied out down in the runout back to Ripper but up high it’s really skiing good.
