I will try my best to make it this year, Kinda sucks I’ve missed the other years! We will have to meet up and go for a tour, it’s been a couple years. I know of a couple local S. island spots that need checking out this year. One across from Green and the other is the Landale area.

I’d be up for checking south island stuff out if we get the snowpack for it, and I’ll be heading to Cain a lot as well!

January 13, 2014 at 2:17 am #670044 Backcountry360 4 Posts Hi Ray, We actually never met, but my wife bought a splitboard from you last year for my birthday. I had meant to contact you much earlier but things never lined up. I have been traveling and riding in the backcountry all over BC for some years now, but until I got my splitboard I never knew how great it was. I really have not met anybody into this kind of riding on the Island and there are so many places I want to hit. I live in Ladysmith, so Mount Hall works out to be my quick go to place, maybe actually not so quick of an approach, but I really could use a partner for most of the places I actually want to go to. Anyway, if your are interested in getting out at some point I get Sundays and Mondays off. I have all my avalanche gears and know how to use them. Send me a email or post something here if you want. Take Care Matt skasnow@hotmail.com January 18, 2014 at 1:34 am #670045 GoatBilly 8 Posts If only there was snow on the Horizon…. next two weeks look like more sunshine and warm temperatures. I was at Heather Mountain yesterday and the snow line was high and there was little at the summit. Not good for much. 😥 January 20, 2014 at 8:50 pm #670046 jerrett 139 Posts @goatbilly wrote: Maybe time to revive this thing?!? The snow hasn’t started yet 🙁 Surfs up though!

Take Care Matt skasnow@hotmail.com Hey, I dont really log on here much any more. I wish we could get out, the latest snow forcast is calling for no snow and as high as 10* in the mountains. Ive turned efforts into finding potentional lines. I might head up mt. landale this coming weekend to take a look at the turrain if you want to come along. January 24, 2014 at 3:01 am #670048 Backcountry360 4 Posts Hey Ray, I just happened to find you on here, so maybe you can let me know how to best get a hold of you in the future. You are right, the forecast is not in our favor. I somehow managed to get up Becher last weekend and the condition were…..in no condition. I’ve sure thought about taking a trip off the Island. I think scoping out line on Landale sounds like a good thing to do, I’m busy this weekend but probably can make it happen the following weekend or something.

Take care Best off the PM me, I will be on here a bit more then normal. I havent even waxed my board yet this year, I guess I should get on it. But Im headding up copper canyon this weekend, I’ll take a look at the snow line. I know the lines Im thining of are E/NE facing in tight valleys so not much sun, they might have some snow in them. February 12, 2014 at 7:29 pm #670050 raym 385 Posts Any of you boys want to head out to the arrowsmith area this weekend to check things out? Could even check out landale is things atabalise. February 13, 2014 at 4:33 am #670051 Backcountry360 4 Posts Hey Ray, I’m thinking things might be looking a lot better in the mountains after this week…..hopefully. Any chance you’re free for Monday. I might be free on Saturday, but I don’t know for sure. I ended up going to Lomas Lake last week, there was no real snow until the 1200m elevation. Did you make it thru the copper canyon gate last time you mentioned checking out Landale. Anyway let me know if we can make something happen. The Arrowsmith/Coppley area sounds pretty good to check out. Viewing 20 posts - 1 through 20 (of 24 total) 1 2 → You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
