Better than expected, but not good at all..
Submited By skierboy On 2007-12-08
Opening day in Fernie turned out to be a bit better than I had expected it would be, but not actually good at all. <br /> <br />
The coverage was OK, but the conditions were pretty much bullet proof. It was a beautiful sunny crisp and cool day, and up at the very top of whitepass on shakeys acres a few nice dust on crust turns could be had.
Only 4 lifts were open, timber and whitepass, elk and bear, and the skiing off of them was pretty much limited to the groomers. You could ski out from the "new side" but it was pretty dicey. The 2 new snowmakers that they bought this year to improve the ski out still aren't installed... but are very much needed.
Definitely a different picture than last season where we had already had a good 20 odd days before opening in epic conditions.
A good mogul smoker party next saturday the 15th will hopefully appease Griz... see you there. www.mogulsmoker.ca
