panorama... schober's dream... i spent 6 yeas ski racing, this is a dream run, the whole vertical of the mountain top to bottom at a black / blue pitch... i think its like a 5km long run... pure vertical.. tayton bowl... yet to ride it, but have hiked up there.. killer!
kicking horse... hope to make it there this year, have been trying for the past 2, but keep getting hung up elsewhere (whistler / bigwhite) because its been puking powder all day...
ill be out that way from february 20th - march 7th... doing the same little circuit, with a final stop in banff, where my rents will be starting a month long vacation on march 1st..
