first, this is an amazing video. I remember there. The side and back door .We had to tie fluorescent tape on the bindings on the skis and run that up the leg far as once you lot a ski that tape was all you had to find it. That was the late 80's and the worst snow season sunshine had. still great times though

Yea the snow sucked, though when I did go I got extremely lucky!

Brought back some fond memories from Lake Louise 08-09 Season! Recognize all the runs 👍 Not sure if you know these out of bounds ones and I'll try get the names right! Elevator Shaft: One of the thin lines that you can just see on right side of image at 4:40, perpendicular to Boomerang Bowl / Hectors Ridge. ) Then there's White Rabbit off Summit, and Semi-circular bowl + Vortex Chutes (backside off Summit)... The 08/09 Season was not great in terms of snow, but memories for a lifetime ✨ Thanks for this video, and nice 360 off the top 👌💯

I love how light and responsive they are. I demoed a pair alongside 4-5 others and these were by far the most fun. Not too soft so they are stable in the crud and at speeds, but the weight and rocker help in trees, moguls and other tight spots. The one complaint I have about them so far is the top sheet chips and peels, leading me to think they may not last more than a season. I'm keeping my warranty info handy!

If you take the other double-black entry right next to Paradise Cornice, do you know what run it leads to? Can't figure it out on the trail map. I was looking at Cornice from the Paradise lift and thought it looked cool, but when turning right at the top i took the other entry right next to it and ended on another face. It scared the shit out of me but i did it in one piece. I'd like to know what it was!
@lopht124 жыл бұрын
If you didn't turn immediately right as you got off Paradise, and took the second right you probably ended up on ER6. Which is this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/mom6h4aOhMd3pqc ER 6 is how you access the Kiddies (in this video) and Upper 5, which in all my time at Louise I've only seen it open once. Although it's not really steep, it is prone to slides as it's a big open sun-soaked face. Glad you made it out alive!
@theblob2k114 жыл бұрын
@@lopht12 Oh thanks, by looking at the map again it makes sense! Always hard to translate a 2D map into big open terrain. It was just my second day at Louise. All i remember is seeing the double-black-steep-rocky sign at the entrance, and that's where i got. I can manage myself, but coming from the east these things are impressive lol. There was someone in front of me and he got down in a few turns, so it gave me courage as i felt less alone haha. Great stuff i will remember.
