Shopping Local

There are many of us at Baldy with foot issues - we are skiing comfortably with a custom boot fit at Stay Tuned Sports in Kelowna. I would absolutely recommend them for your boot fitting.

Sessions in Osoyoos have gone all out stocking and servicing gear for many sports. Check them out for ski/snowboard gear, tuning, waxing etc.

I had a look at the BMR merch in the ticket office today. They have some great stuff, and I love the items that have the retro original Baldy logo. Like everything else these days, the prices are a little high for this senior citizen. We do however get a 10% discount as season pass holders.

The office is open 7 days a week, 9:00am to 4:00pm, closed November 11th.

Sunny day with wind gusts, after 15cms new last night

The guys have been farming snow from the parking lot. They did that last year, and it made a big difference to the base area early season,

 

Weather Update

The day started with sunshine. One minute it is calm, then suddenly there will be really strong wind gusts. Nothing like what our friends at the coast have experienced, but I am in no hurry to go outside. My sense is that as soon as I gear up and start the snow blower, the wind will blow again.

Single lane on Hwy 33 near Beaverdell - tree took down the power line.

So many trees have snapped down in the burn on McKinney Road - another larch a few days ago. I'll continue to carry a saw and a tow strap with me for the foreseeable future. 

Alpine Club Ski Swap November 24th

The Club will also be fundraising with a lunch, details to come.

Snow coming down at 7:45pm

I bought an extra camera after our issues up here before the summer. I haven't decided where to mount it - on the deck doesn't work anymore - I accidently shoveled it over the edge the other day.

 Just turned off my cell phone - the falling snow keeps tripping the motion sensor.

Sroamies

I didn't go anywhere today, but there were guests on the mountain from Selkirk College. The annual "Sroamie" Tour. There is a cool photo on their Instagram page of one of the students in the drive station at the bottom of Sugar.

Starting November 4th - Guest Services Open 7 days a week, except Nov. 11th

 Check out the merchandise for your Christmas shopping.

Rosie on the trail today, thanks Marian for the photos
