It's Spring!

And the bitches are out in full force! The Kates and Matthew hit the slush/powder at Louise on Sunday. Well, Matthew did 3 runs, had pizza and then slept in the car all afternoon. The skiing was pretty good, the conditions were really variable but there was lots of good stuff to be had and nobody on the hill. Even with very little crowd, spring skiing tends to bring out the best in outfits and we managed to capture a few suits du jour for our readers.
The intention was to put together a nice video for the day, but filming stopped after one addition to the blooper reel. Warning, the video you are about to see is graphic, but nobody was seriously injured so laugh away.

Best Ski Weekend EVER!!!

The Kates and Matthew finally went to lovely Golden, BC on the March 10th - 11th weekend to ski Kicking Horse. Due to a mud slide the road to Golden was closed on Friday night so the team spent the night in Banff and headed out early Saturday morning for the rest of the drive. The highway had opened at midnight so it was clear sailing.

Saturday was an overcast but warm day. In typical Kicking Horse style, even though there wasn't much for new snow, there were fresh tracks to be had. Late in the day it started to snow a bit, which in town was rain. As the evening wore on the rain picked up, so...

Sunday was incredible! 20+ cm overnight and it puked all day. We got fresh tracks all day and face shots on every turn. There were stashes of thigh-deep powder even at the end of the day! We all agreed that it was our best ski day ever.

The BOS Girls are Back!

The Kates hit Lake Louise for an absolutely amazing day yesterday! With 6 cm of new powder, most of which was blown into the back bowls, the conditions were superb. It would have been perfect had it been sunny, instead it continued to snow all day. And you know what that means... tree skiing!

We managed to get first tracks on the E-R Face, an area that is rarely open. We don't know for sure, but have a feeling that they opened it just before we got to it in the afternoon. There were stashes of untouched, knee-deep powder and I got my very first legitimate "face-shots."

Late in the afternoon we hit the Ptarmigan Chutes and got more fresh powder. Since it has been so long since we have posted on the BOS site, we took some video here for your viewing pleasure.

In the Ptarmigan Lift line we ran into a couple of Katie's friends and finished our last run of the day with them. Good times were had by all. My muscles were so exhausted that pushing in the clutch on the way home was painful!
