Snowboarding season has begun , lets see your pics!!!

[Bubbleman]

Hey guys, figured i would start a snowboarding/skiing thread here in the wild life forum. My local mtn whistler/blackcomb has opened and i've managed to get up for a couple of days. Opening day was great, tons of people showed up

the mountain was well covered in snow

The whistler local musicians were even at the roundhouse playing it up while we ate

The whistler roundhouse is realy sweet, wood beams, super comfy, great food

As you can see the snow was fairly deep for the first day. not something all resort mtns can brag about ...

a few more shots of the mtn and the chairlift going up

that was my first day up ^^ opening day.


peace

it was just yesterday and the mtn got 14cm's of freshies, and not a cloud in the sky, i have to say these are some of my best shots of whistler yet. I will try and remember where each shot was taken to give you some idea if you know whistler mtn.
A nice dusting even on the way up to whistler, this shot was taken just north of squamish about thirty minutes from whistler

This one i took from the whistler village gondola, about half way up. Thought the clouds sitting below the sky looked beautiful

This one is from Big red chair, one of my favorites on whistler mtn to snowboard under. its out of bounds but its worth every second of it.

THe back view of red chair while sitting on the chair.

Harmony bowl as seen from roberts

also harmoney bowl backside as seen from roberts on whistler mtn

my view looking up from where i sast to smoke my first bowl oh wait my second oh no it was my third, errr fourth........... nevermind i smoked a bowl here

Looking down at my board, pretty steep little spot

blackcomb mtn view

another shot of blackcomb from whistler close up styles

black tusk as seen from the entrance to symphony bowl off harmony

talk about a blue bird day, with fresh powder, does it get any better than this???

little tea house on the top of the mtn, good for a quick treat or a hot chocolate

top of harmony bowl chair lift behind me from where i took the pics

black tusk at a distance

Nice pictures. Makes me wish I lived somewhere with better skiing. Whistler is in my top 5 favorite places to go. Bubbles, you sure are lucky to have such a wonderful place as your local spot. My only complaint with Whistler/Blackcomb is that when the fog rolls in it rolls in thick to the point where you can't see your hand in front of your face. BUt hey small price to pay, just make sure you don't go hucking off a hundred foot cliff without seeing it coming.

Jeeze those are some really stunning pictures! Makes me want to go snowboarding!

went up again yesterday, but man was it cold. not much freshies, but still worth the trip
woke up to go today, but found out im on santa's breakfast duty> ALas, 16 cm's of fresh snow on the mtn, i guess i will have to hear about it from some friends.


Peace
