KristoffWixenschon Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I'm so excited about the season. My local hill is going outdoor only. No lodge access. It will be interesting to see what the other nearby resorts do. I live in the BC interior, so the line ups are usually pretty tolerable and the powder is plentiful and dry. Pretty pumped to see the snow fall so early already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoKnows Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 My family is trying to figure out where to go skiing this year. Obviously the US is ruled out, and we’re going to avoid Quebec. Going to avoid southern Ontario as well. Right now looks like we’re gonna go to Ottawa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Jay 22 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 If anyone ever gets a chance to go to California in the winter, Mammoth Mountain is the place to be at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tahoe’s nice. I like mammoth a bit more just cuz the resort is bigger and there is more area to cover. Perks of living in California is that you can go to the mountains and beach all in 1 day.

Morning ski followed by 9 holes in the afternoon sounds like a good day to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For our yearly trips were are trying to ski all the smaller nordic clubs in BC over the next few years, a few every year The Cariboo one in your region is on the list down the road, sounds like we'll need to pack extra layers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cariboo Ski Touring Club at Hallis Lake is a gem! Really good track setting and really fun trails. Lots of them too. I spend lots of time out there. I was the backcountry ski director for the club for a few years. They maintain 4 tucked away cabins in the mountains out here for backcountry touring trips. Great area. I hope you get to make the trip 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
