Slushy skiing - at Sunshine

bryan.daneau, Saturday 8th February, 2025 10:38PM
<p>Likely one of the last posts of the season. Just couldn't hang up the skis so my 12 yr old son and I decided to bike up the Sunshine access road with our gear. After a 500m vertical slog, we finally got to the base village of Sunshine where there was still plenty of snow. The road is dry but next year, I'm thinking an eBike is in order ! Skinned all the way up to the top of Divide and the entrance to Bre-X (Delerium). Great conditions and good coverage on the way down. Impressive runnels with fast flowing water though just as you got to the base of the Angel lift. I did the same trip last year in early June and it wasn't remotely like this so the snow has been melting very quickly. Skinned up Standish and hit Virgin's chute. A few wet sluffs, but nothing major given all the skier compaction. Heading back down on the bikes was obviously a blast. Temp was sunny and 15'C in the alpine - beats a day in the office !</p>
