Ok, I know this is in the west... but as I want to show them to the eastern writers/lurkers........ <BR> <BR>One of the writers of Zoneski just came back from Sunshine Village. He took a ton of pics into the Delirium Dive and the other extreme stuff of Sunshine. <BR> <BR>Don't miss those pics, they are simply amazing ! <BR> <BR><A HREF="http://www.zoneski.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=965" TARGET="_top">http://www.zoneski.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=965</A>
 
Frank, <BR>All I can say is WOW! Those pics are amazing, and im sure they dont serve the terrain justice. I went to Whistler last year in February when we had that huge blizzard here on the east coast. Funny thing is that that was exactly when Whistler was in an extended dry spell. It was cloudy nearly every day, but it was amazing nonetheless. One of the mornings that we skiied they got about 10" fesh powder up top, but only a dusting at the bottom(melting, basically late spring conditions). We stayed on Blackcomb because it is the better mountain IMHO and it was by far less crowded. We stayed on the 7th heaven express and had our first powder skiing experience there. It was absolutely amazing <IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/clipart/proud.gif">, and I would love to go back again. Go figure, but the last day - the morning we had to leave, it was a perfectly bluebird day. I took the best pictures I could, and everyone likes them, but again, like those on zoneski, they do not do the views justice, you just have to go see for yourself, then you will know.

Sorry Frank, my first attempt at french in a while and i managed to spell it "Incoryable" <BR>what i really meant was Incroyable....
 
Awesome pics!!! <BR>I was out there last year around christmas but the dive wasn't open yet because their simply wasn't enough snow. Even most of goats eye was closed. I would really like to ski it sometime but who knows when it will be. Sunshine is really an awesome ski area that's like nothing else i've been to. Definetly my favourite so far.
 
Yeah, all those pics of Sunshine and Lake Louise (2nd batch of the 3 ones is Lake Louise in fact) are absolutely incroyables !!! (I understood it, Jonny ! <IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":)">) <BR> <BR>This guy doesn't post very often, but when he does..... awouuuuu (his reports of Big Jay, Orford's backcountry, etc were enough incredible too, earlier this season) <BR> <BR>I like his nickname... : "J'hais le damé durci" = I HATE THE FLAT HARD-PACK GROOMERS. (hehe)
 
That first week of March really helped a lot. He was lucky to ski all that great terrain in fresh powder. <BR> <BR>Whitehorn has had great snow all 3 times I've been at Louise, but not the untracked we see in these pics. <BR> <BR>Delirium Dive looked rocky in my long distance pic this year, but obviously there is plenty of room for great skiing. I did not have time to ski there this year. I did one run in 1999 and two in 2002. <BR> <BR>I must also compliment the photography. It is very difficult to convey the steepness of this terrain, but he does as good a job as I have seen. <BR> <BR>I must editorialize that the post should be in the western section. We should be bookmarking <A HREF="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/messages/2508/2508.html?1079113051" TARGET="_top">http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/messages/2508/2508.html?1079113051</A>. Since Marc shows the time and date of last post, regular browsers can easily check out only the threads with new listings. And if you want more room to view pics, etc. it's also easy to minimize the width of the directory frame on the left. Marc, do you want to comment?
