Skiingbc.info/Skimap.org are slow right now - 2008.12.17

Thanks to the accident on the Excalibur Gondola, Skiingbc.info and Skimap.org are under extreme load right now (we have number one result in a google search for "Excalibur Gondola"). Just be patient, the pages might load a bit slow. It should be back to normal within a few days.

Nordic Skiing at the Callaghan Nordic Centre - 2007.12.30

Well, today was quite a day!

First a cross country ski race, then a preview of the ski jumping to happen in the Olympics by some Canadian junior ski jumpers training. It was my first time seeing people going off an Olympic class jump, and it was amazing, highly recommended that you head up to the 2007-8 Canadian National Championships and North American Junior Championships, which happens from January 1 through the 5th of the new year.

I shot video and photos today of both sports:

Photos Nov 30 07 / Cypress XC Ski Report - 2007.11.30

I was up at Cypress today, it was impressively good, except for a lack of sufficient snow on some trails. They had quite an interesting groom network actually, while Burfield wasn't groomed and no trails above Sitzmark, Grand National was open (all the way to West Lake Hill Lookout) without the Jack Pratt from the bottom of Grand National. But then, Jack Pratt was groomed and West Lake Trail all the way to the lake! It was quite an odd layout.. By the way, Grand National is deadly going down because the bushes are still sticking through and if you hit one bush, you go over. Oddly, West Lake trail is near perfect.. Ooh, and Upper Powerline is suicidal for your skis, it is closed but groomed still, lots of big rocks faces right under the top layer of snow which I hit multiple times on the down. Despite that lackage of snow, the snow was fantastic, the warmest temperature being -2 today and -8 this morning! It was 1 foot of powder off trail (would be great for downhill I imagine if there was more snow.
