Castle Mountain Ski Resort

Hello Guys,

This past weekend, 13 of us went to Castle Mountain snowboarding/skiing for the long weekend. I had the new snowboard/boots/ bindings for the first time and stoked to try them out. I had already tried the board and boots at Sunshine two weeks ago. MUCH better then my 1990's board I was on. Un-like the last trip the roads were clear and everything was smooth sailing Friday night. Castle is maybe my favorite place I've been snowboard yet. Revelstoke is better but 4 hours away. It was dark when we left Calgary so the few to the mountain was pretty boring. Just black and car tail lights. The house we rented was brand new and very chalet styled house. Including a loft area with a bed. Only way to get to it was by ladder. Saturday Emilie and I checked out the mountain. Getting a feel of what the mountain was about. We haven't gotten any snow for a few weeks and it's been more like spring then winter. The mountain is AMAZING!!! I dream about going back every night. It's steap, has a ton of trees and the snow is nice on the top half of the mountain.

I will post pics once I get some from the other guys.
