Here's hoping. I'd like to see fortress open, and both nakiska and fortress passes offered at a price point around 400 to 500.

Holy hell, yup a resort anywhere near Grande Prairie would be a hold mine. They pay 600 bucks for a riverbank pass!

Thinking about getting a pass for Pass Powderkeg in Blairmore this year. Short days but it gives the opportunity for a few hours of dedicated practice time.

My buddy lives in Blairmore, he has a pass there and loves it. Additionally, they allow uphill travel there which is awesome

Holy crap, Pass Powderkeg pass is half the price of Nitehawk. That's wild. Poor Grande Prairians

Snow is abundant in S.E. BC, nice powder over a harder base😁

Fernie Resort opens tomorrow. Might have to sell some organs to pay for a day…

The RCR card is still an okay deal if you’re just going a few times, good for other RCR resorts too.
