Six Centimeters of fresh powder, fast yet controllable conditions... Does it get any better??

Bigggg night!! 23 km's. Ich bien vertig!!! Doctors Downhill was unbelievable - calculated it to 120 ft of vert drop. Then the jump everyone got air. Blue run Fantastic. The Edge was scary, Johnny's Bowl extreme, but the final outcrop bowl drift JP down hard!! Total altitude climbed was approx 1200 meters. Not bad for a bunch of 40 years olds!!

Tuesday Feb 21 st was fast!!

For those who missed it we climbed a total of 230 M of vertical and confirmed that peak sits a 595 meters above sea level (thanks to Dave's new watch). A fast night with Peak run giving us the best of the night. Honourable mention goes out to Doctors Run where we shot the downhill then tried out the new jump. For the record John and Dietmar made it Dave bailed (he had "scared" in his mind.) maybe the wooden jump wasn't his thing.

Rain delay

Thursday night rain delay. Spent serious hang time with Dave installing the 36" tv for the cabana. Can you say multi-media? Till next time. Hoping Sunday night is a gem!!

Feb 14th 06 - Valentines Masacre

(click on title above for a slideshow of nights events)

It was the best of times (Big turn out for our biggest guest night this year 2 foursomes),
It was the worst of times ( Jeff Injures his knee).

Waterloo West side - 9:15 pm: Members Dave, John, Rich (nice to have you back), Dean lead out with guests Jeff, Gerrard, and Steve Hirsch to meet with Tom at Cabin. A fast pace is set and everyone is moving well. En route things go wrong fast - MAN DOWN!!!!

Jeff who just recently received his therapists "OK" to return to the west side had a short lived return as he meets his challenge at "Johnny's Bowl". "It popped on both sides" - jeff was heard shouting as he held his knee. After walking it off he was able to make it back to cabin and assess his situation.

Jeff shown below at Cabin checking out the knee that brought him down.

The night started out with Guest Victor Vector who gave it his best. Members Dave, Dean, and John, present Dietmar Wennemer with his official membership. We socialize a bit following a strong ski. After the return we open the skating rink and flood it. Likely to be ready in a week or so.
Special mention tonight to "Suicide run" which captivated us all!! Its good to be alive!!

The Clubs new Blog

Welcome to the new Web log (Blog) for Waterloo West Side Back Country Ski Club

Members Tom and John take to the re-start of winter in style with guest Girrard. Continued snow and great conditions make it a great night as we ski the edge and the "drift". A great loop at Tommy's place!!!




Snow depth reaches 3 feet in areas and considering the kids were playing soccer Friday - we are blessed by the snow gods indeed!!!

The only downside of the tour was the visible destruction not unlike that of the Quebec ice storm of the late 90's. Clearly the heavy snow that followed the days of rain created a big impact as many trees down on key runs including "Super S".
