Problems with Louise, Sunshine and Banff is that get a Late Oct to Early
Nov snowfall, and then the Chinooks came barreling through and melt most
of it. I always remember that Louise and its backside are not even good
enough for rock skis, but really bad rock skis. (I used to ski the back
side with my rock skis of choise, Kazama Skis with a blown cap, which
is like skiing ready to explode at any moment)

I probably check Sunshine first and see how they are doing before going
to Louise..
Agreed, to me it seemed better to wait for Louise to be in decent
shape

Ok I was nit-picking...They make snow on the front of Lake Louise..no
rocks.

They don't make the Chinooks, which is equal opportunity in melting
man made snow and natural snow.

Louise in the early season is primo for rock skis, besides finding
what how much loose shale/mountain marble is on the slopes. Snow
Coverage is always kind of iffy

Sunshine has a better base. Kicking Horse is about the same as Louise.

I found Kicking Horse early season (X-mas) generally pretty good if you stay
on the upper chair. I find it really hard to fathom that KH has almost the
same vertical as Whistler does. The powder up top can be pretty good,
especially the runs to the left of the gondola looking uphill
I agree Louise, and to a lesser extent Sunshine are rock city. Marmot basin
has a whole wallop of new snowmaking right to the top of the old high speed
quad (and maybe more this year), but under the old management the out and
out lied about conditions regularily. So much so you just didn't depend on
their reports ever. One X-mas I made a special trip because they had
upgraded their snow conditions fro "Early season, natural hazards exist" to
"Vastly improved conditions". I guess what they meant was you hit a rock
every second turn instead of hitting two rocks per turn. They shouldn't even
have been open. That all seems to have changed with the new owners, high
speed quad and snowmaking. They are getting better turnouts now too. One of
my faves...

You won't. You ain't got the balls, pppppppuuuuuussssssyyyyy.

Thanks, Horvie. You puked up your insane crap right on cue.

I am the senior military official on this newsgroup. My minions know

Loveland has been making snow for over two weeks now and it's been
pretty good snowmaking weather at night. I wouldn't be supprised if
they open up this Friday Oct 15th. But it's more likely that their
opening day will be the 22nd.

Wow..I think I drove up thru Loveland Pass? back in 1968-69. If I remember
the road was over 10,000'. We had a carbed brand new Olds Vista wagon with
the 400 engine and we were floored at 40mph. The carb was adjusted for
Ontario elevation. Where is the ski area relative to the Loveland Pass? If I
got it right...

Loveland pass is 11,990' or 3650 meters for those of you who have
joined with the modern world. You were probably there before the
tunnel went in which was '72 I think. The ski area is right on the
east side of the tunnel. Or, the first switchback on the old road is
the main parking lot.

It's been snowing most of the morning today although it's cleared up
now. But it looks like it's still snowing on the peaks.
