3 times through the canyon you must of loved it! A couple of shots from Box canyon the weekend before I beleive this one is Labyrinth Bigger size Snakes and Ladders Yellow flow in the background ? Toby in hell canyon in front

Climb: Sumallo Bluffs-Buzowski/Kippan Date of Climb: 12/18/2005 Trip Report: Climbed the Buzowski on Saturday and it was just awesome! That whole area is just awesome and had tonnes of ice!!! The river crossing was tame and the approach was very bushy at times. Climbed the route in two pitches one 40 m and one 65 m,the last pitch is long and would be better as two pitches. Landmark gulley was almost fully in but the upper curtain was not touching down. the rest including some possibly unclimbed lines were looking spectacular. Hopefully it stays cold enough to keep things from melting too much. Pics are coming as soon as I find my cord to upload them to my computer. Gear Notes: screws and hip waders Approach Notes: River, bush then gulley, approach from 24 km marker rather than from Parking spot.

Yes with a forecasted high of 9c and a low of 7c for Seymour tomorrow, I doubt Harvey is doing much in the ice making department.

Thats what I thought but Dons post to West Coast ice kind of took me by surprise. Ya if we get some cold in the alpine after this rain should be stellar and it will be winter season!

Except that there is apparantly no ice in whistler. Nice pic Dru

I remeber this post from last year may get you started http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/threadz/s...true#Post432579

What new snow are you speaking of or am I missing something? Sounds like an adventure

Isnt Michelmoon on private property? apparently Night'n gale is in http://www.westcoastice.com/Page60.aspx

Right on Toby and I went up to box canyon on saturday and saw the route you were talking about after driving to the toll booths by accident. We climbed Snakes and ladders and another route that I cant remeber the name of, all in all a good day with lots of ice and a pretty shitty approach, made extra shitty as a helicopter flew 50 feet above our heads over and over again filming a half naked man riding a horse up and down the little approach trail...this took 2 hours. Fairly weird start to the day.

My partner has the one I would buy, synthetic bottom and down top, to me that is the perfect mixture. Still packs relatively small as well

Quick Cobbler Downtown Vancouver 80$

Personally i have never had the problem where I am the only guy in a room full of girls thinking get me the hell out of here .

yup, looks better, at least till mid week anyways could be enough...

and then it gets warm, dont you wish it would just stay this way....for just a bit longer for things to form

what about the guys that whine about other guys trucks being too big, does that mean you have a vagina? get a fuckin life

cant you just have them re-treaded? then if you want re-sipped?

this is nothing, last winter I was dealt this one which turned out ok for me but was quite entertaining Go to hope for ice, which is amazing, take 2 partners 1 partner forgets his boots.. So no probs still have 1 partner Have a few drinks that night and rent a hotel, before both going to bed we agree to wake up by 5 am, 430 am pee break, notice no partner in hotel room get dressed and packed, still no partner 5 am arrives yocal truck drives up and partner stumbles out completely wasted partner gets dressed as though he is going climbing packs up crawls to back of truck and goes to sleep So partner 2, who went home got boots and returned, and I go climb mouse trap.

After doing both for many years SNowboarding is waaay easier to learn!!!!! Boarding has two turns frontside ( 1 hour to learn) and back side (another hour) done!! Skiing, snow plow( for a week ) then Giant S turns ( for another week) Then practice parallel turns for a year and your ready for a Hard blue square.. If Iam interperting this statement correctly then this THE most common mistake when snowboarding and is common with skiers taking up boarding. Your chest should be aligned front and center with your knees. So if your going straight down hill you are looking over your shoulder, chest perpendicualr to the slope. Skiing is for places with no lifts

I take no resposibilty for that info I just cut and pasted from a discussion that gets sent to me when they issue them. So far we are average to just above average rainfall here in Vancouver, for the last 2.5 months.

From NOAA What are the U.S. impacts of La Niña? La Niña often features drier than normal conditions in the Southwest in late summer through the subsequent winter. Drier than normal conditions also typically occur in the Central Plains in the fall and in the Southeast in the winter. In contrast, the Pacific Northwest is more likely to be wetter than normal in the late fall and early winter with the presence of a well-established La Niña. Additionally, on average La Niña winters are warmer than normal in the Southeast and colder than normal in the Northwest.

This imperative whenever heading to the starfish!!! On a serious note Papoose 1 is a good climb especially now that its been cleaned up.

Ya I think we can see freezing levels going waaay up by mid week, possibly raining on top of whistler and more than likely putting a stop to Cypress from opening up on Wednesday.

Southern Alberta could see highs in to the 20's or 70f by the end of the weekend.... mid teens for Canmore

Ah yes thats coyote arm, I've caught that a couple of times
