quiet - BC snow advice needed

Any idea how long the season is going to last this year? I'm interested mostly in the snow cover on the steep stuff at BLackcomb.. the "couloir extreme" type stuff & bowls.


One of my buddies, a patroller at Heavenly, came back with some great pics of all the steep, wide bowls.. stuff you never see in the brochures. Said he met a 13 year old kid at the top of the extreme who was chiding his dad for only skiing the "so-called couloir extreme".. then headed off to some even steeper run to the skiers right. Apparently the father lost an edge 3 turns down and slid the whole thing. uninjured but said it was the scariest ride of his life.
