I agree, great elevation for a consistent resort. Very similar to places like Panorama and Sunshine as well.

That definitely makes the most sense to me.

Would you like to see more snowboarding?

It was about 3 feet / 1 meter long.

Yes, this is Mount Washington on Vancouver Island.

@ Figured as much. Recognized the terrain.

@@LegitD0nuT Vancouver Island, Canada

@@SkiBackwards Vancouver Island, Canada

@@SkiBackwards not for everybody I suppose, all good.

@@RyandeMilliano my mountain it just happens a lot so it makes it icy

@@SkiBackwards fair point, I grew up with icy slopes and have learned to enjoy the groomers on these days.

@@O.A_Bones Rough, another option may be the the old Full Tilts. They are now under K2's freestyle line. Easiest to get into and the buckles use a cable system that is much easier than traditional buckles.

@ i bought a pair of full tilts before they closed up shop but I got them in 120 flex. Started with rossignal 100 but only skied for two years

@ just looked at them again they’re the full tilt descendent 120

Yeah, I’ve heard that, tough to hear but lucky that is not the norm there.

Rad feedback, I agree, the boots look so good in the white which is what drew me to them, but I also have lower volume feet and although my feet are not swimming in them, I think the Alpha 130 would be my choice next time. That said, these are the most comfortable boots I've owned.

I picked up skiing in my 20s after decades of hockey and snowboarding. Skiing is a tough sport to get the technique perfect for sure. I constantly feel like a hockey player with long awkward skates haha.

I had the same experience with my SPro 120 BOAs

@@malcolmturner4232 So rad to hear that, like any boot, there is an ideal skiier for them. I am glad they worked well for you. I definitely like the boots as well.

@lucaskroell4016 Agreed

@@frugalmiester I appreciate sharing your experience with the BOA, I believe they are fine but don’t deserve the hype they are getting and the premium price. Where did they start to crack? Was it because of the BOA system?

@@RyandeMilliano started cracking around an attachment point of the boa hardware. Couldn’t say that it was because of boa and it was more likely that manufacturers are having to use different plastic blends to accommodate for how boa compresses the boot which could be more prone to cracking.

Good feedback, I'll definitely keep a keen eye on those connection points. Thanks

@@leonardbertaux6897 that’s rough, hope you still had a good time.

I think you mean, no friends on a pow day, or maybe my rule book is a past edition haha.

It’s Sun Peaks dude - not exactly a secret spot

@ it’s not. But why tell everybody to go there? Rookie mistake.

I appreciate that, I found myself having to take my glove off to tighten them when snow and ice would develop too. Not ideal, but decent boots overall, just not the revolution the industry would have you believe.

I appreciate that, the resort is amazing, anything I missed that you think should have been mentioned?

@@RyandeMilliano Essentially no lift lines. Only at 9am and even that is not bad. While some may say that there are not a lot of choices for restaurants, what they do have is excellent options. The resort has far more accommodations that have kitchenets which makes things easier for families. Grocery store in the lower village has everything you would need (even alcohol) and they don't gouge you on pricing. Free shuttle to and from Invermere. If you want to experience the great things Invermere has to offer, this is an alternative than driving. It also is great if you decide to stay at a place in Invermere and can use it to go to the resort if others want to enjoy the Whiteway or have a rest day. As you said very family orientated.

It is great

@@doggo4703 too flat

I appreciate that, glad to know it was accurate with my limited time there. Cheers.

Rad, hope you can make your way out. I feel it would be worth the trip.

@@ChristopherMoye haha, 112s should be a solid choice. Still got to ski back to the lift base. Have a good trip!

Yeah, really excited to have a resort ski with a narrower waist. These are very fun.

Agreed, I’ve only been a couple times but can’t wait to get out again!

@Rats.4576itsNotArealAount thanks for the local recommendation! Next time I am out that way I will check it out.

@ no problem

@@jenniferbarnes5312 honestly, I am at the same point as you haha. Island Alpine Guides would be the best starting place, as well as your local indoor climbing gym. That is where I first learned the basics. This trip was actually my first roped up outdoor climb, IAG were so great and gave me loads of confidence.

@@RyandeMilliano I certainly will! Thanks again, I'm so glad you posted this video 🙂

Haha, yeah, that would be at mid-wide setup for sure, I would aim for at least 26.0 cm at waist unless you don't ever intent to snowboard on steep runs or carve hard.

Could be for sure, may just be personal preference, I find that if the tube is flat there is a better chance of pinching it in the rim.

@@americaofthenorth655 agreed, very rad vibe there!

I got ride T1, T2 & CPR ridge and it was fantastic! it is defiantly a challenging and intimidating mountain but you are just so exposed to it that its what you have to ride and at the end of the day it was a blast and you feel more confident riding steeps. You will ride another resort and live the meme "this double black would be a blue at kicking horse"

I would be excited to know the original resort plan, it does feel like there is a lot of potential for additional lifts.

@@ZanMajhenic-or7dp haha, nope, Celsius here in Canada.

@@Th3Rafwarrior I agree, but weren’t they bought by K2? Are they still as good?

For sure, there are more parts that can fail, they seem extremely well engineered and I wouldn't witty too much about reliability. Just not a needed change in my opinion, buckles were fine.

We are super fortunate, now just hoping the cold weather can continue!

I can appreciate the concern, the terrain is actually in a managed forest, this area was clear-cut a little while ago.

I appreciate the positive feedback, any resorts you specifically have in mind? Looking to prioritize my upcoming winter road trips.
