Winter Is Here.

OK maybe not quite yet, but she's shown face.

We have seen a nice early season dump on the locals here in Vancouver, and it's got people excited. Norquay and Nakiska in the Alberta Rockies are claiming their earliest opening dates ever, Norquay opening last Thursday, Nakiska yesterday. It's still looking like later on in November before any B.C. resorts are scheduled to open, but if it stays wet and cold you gotta think that may change.

Some Seymour regulars decided the first snow of the season was enough snow to go set up a couple a Cory-P's and have at it.

October 21st, Mount Seymour, not bad.
