Snow's been good in AK but now things are unstable.

Check this (NOT photoshopped) pic out the window of the mid-mtn bar, a patroller skiing away from the 5' crown left by some blasting they did on the N face. While we were inside drinking. The blasted pocket ran all the way to the bottom and unstable snow's since kept the whole face closed for almost a week now. IMG_1158.jpg

It is just a frozen tundra in Whistler....I flew almost 3,000 miles to ski ice LOL
On the other hand the smoke up here is quite nice.

Plenty of time to ski Mammoth , I heard yesterday that they plan on staying open all year, Sept 18th was the latest they stayed open in the past I believe.
I'm going up next week for the SIA demo, get to test next year's ski's for a shop here.
Did it last year and had a blast.
Hope your having a great time with the conditions as they are.

@BobBitchen Blasting laps on the crystal ridge express. A single lap on is 1,900 vert...this place is big. I lived at Squaw and it is big, now Squaw with Alpine is a combined 6,200 acres. Mammoth is 3,500 acres. This place is 8,100 acres. I lived at Alta years back and Alta/Snowbird is 4,700 acres with awesome B/C access. It's crazy on the weekend but like any other place mid week is empty.

It is stupid expensive but what ski area is not, now just waiting for snow.

My shoulder still hurts still after about a month lol... I think I may have fractured something when I dislocated my shoulder. I've been working and boarding still. Anyone else think I should get X-rays? I've done sports all my life so I'm not new to breaks and sprains. Nothing broke and it's not sprained. It did pop back into socket, so I know it was dislocated; and I'm not a tard. I have about 95% of my normal range of motion in my arm. What do you guys think? I have insurance... just don't really have the time. Any ideas gentlemen

@BobBitchen 20" in two days...Saturday standing in line at 7:30am, Sunday at 8am with all the other crazies. Thigh deep both days but only for a few runs. This place got tracked out by 10:30am. You can see an entire face get eaten in a matter of minutes. It is almost like watching a video that is on high speed.

Can't complain about two pow days in a row. Today was nice since it had a 10" base from the day before.

Glad conditions changed for you, and you're getting some fresh, Whistler is killer .
Next week's ski testing may not take place, Mammoth is in for more weather holds it looks like,two - four feet expected with high winds. Debating driving up, sucks.
How much longer are you in Whistler ?
