The Duffy is a touch drier then the coast, which is why it totally sucks! Nothing to see here, move along. Totally lived up to it on Sunday November 26th...

Dark skies? Another socked in November day on the Coast?
Image

Must be a movie shoot, too dark for sunglasses, and that snow looks totally fake!
Image

Soft pillows, must nap.
Image

How much snow they got in CO Wes?
Image

Oh perfect, here come those dark skies again as we breach the Alpine
Image

Totally tracked out! Bummer
Image

Last night's mushroom risotto flashback
Image

Mind the glaciers, it is only November afterall
Image

The weather sucked all day long!
Image

The scenery wasn't any better
Image
Image
Image
Image

Ok, i'm running out of complaints
Image
Image
Image

It was too shadowy!
Image
Image
Image

But the S-chute was nice!
Image
Image
Image

Still boney out there, best to stay indoors for a few more weeks, lest you get bit in the shark infest waters...
Image

Our boring ski-out to end the day (at least it had the best snow, I don't like a firm pillow)
Image


In conclusion: Unless you're into horseback riding, you can probably give Pemberton a miss.

Looks rad! :bananas: How was the coverage down low? Hoping to get out there this weekend but the stability isn't going to be any good with this new snow moving in.

BTW please resize your photos in the future. They are good photos but just way too big for this format.

Hey, coverage to the highway is quite good (we were in the western cayoosh, eastern ranges up there will be drier). We also skied primarily north and east aspects, though windscouring was pretty non-evident to ridge tops (all aspects were pretty similar coverage wise.

There was sizeable surface hoar everywhere and I suspect it got worse earlier this week. The wet weather today probably soaked it at lower elevations but treeline and above could be touchy as a result. The snow will probably be a little heavier/wetter this weekend but coverage shouldn't be a big issue unless you're in tighter forest/valley bottom alder. Have fun report back!

i just grabbed the urls from facebook photo's, they aren't usually so enormous, facebook just resized their photo display (yet again) so that has something to do with it. I don't see an easy fix without a bunch more work, I'll try to fix for next time.

Happy Shredding Everyone!
