that highway is brutal - many lives lost every year. glad you guys were alert. they can't open those new lanes soon enough... my report for the weekend would echo yours. i hooked up with jkamien from this board yesterday and i was pleasantly surprised at the quality and amount of fresh snow...

we've had mixed weather the last few days, but that's all relative compared to the snow we got last month. supposed to rain tomorrow and into friday, then turn cold and snow. apparently the conditions off the peak today were great since it didn't open yesterday. the overall coverage looks like...

2000 and what?? :wink: the last 12 months have put everything in perspective!

another quick report from whistler...(no pics yet cause we forgot the digicam in TO) peak chair opened to much hype on saturday - pronounced "the earliest peak chair opening ever". that was slightly untrue since last year it opened on the same date. i managed to make first chair up last year...

ya - i don't know what either of you two are crying about! i'm usually the one lamenting your snow reports. hope you guys get yours soon :D

just a quick report from whistler opening day... we've been getting pounded with precip for the past week and half or so. the snow line has been averaging around 1000m, meaning the top 2/3 of the mountains are getting puked on. this is by far better than the past two opening days, with a base...

love to see the pooch on the hill - that's the great thing about pre-season in the resort areas. i just hiked whistler with mine this morning. didn't take her long to figure out fresh tracks are better for people than dogs. she was up over her head before she turned around and started...

tony, you are right - symphony will access the top of piccolo, you still have to hike flute. but there are some serious steep lines off piccolo, not to mention some huge natural cornices that form in spots. in my opinion, it seems like a great idea - i'll just do laps of flute all day and...

it's getting closer to the good season so i thought i'd post a little of what i've been hearing around town: - whistler mountain will be the one to open first this year, on november 23 - whistler will close in april; and this year blackomb will remain open through may and june and into the...

awesome pics! what a backdrop.

beautiful post, dude!

hey folks. sorry i haven't checked in in a while...lots of riding and lots of work. we've been having an awesome year up here. february was pretty dry after our record setting january, but the snow's picked up again the last few weeks. the base is huge as the mountain was blowing snow...

stopping in for a quick update. it's been a great january. we've had at least a trace of snow in all but 2 days since christmas, but more often we've been getting dumps in the 10-20cm range. 7 days in january with 25cm+ and 404cm month to date. with another 60cm+ forecasted in the next 5...

the perimeter express bus leaves from the airport. it's not cheap though - i think about $70 one way. the greyhound is a lot cheaper (about $35 return i think), but you have to get to the downtown bus terminal which would probably cost you $30 in cab fare. so in the end it's not much of a...

awesome report & pics! i'm hoping to ride JH for the first time this winter. hope it's as good when i get there.

i know you're right, tony. it's amazing what a difference a few weeks can make. but when you've been sitting around through 4 weeks of drought, it's easy to get down about it. maury, i have found lift lines to be light throughout most of the season, with the exception of christmas break, and...

what can i say? i haven't posted recently because i've been too busy riding. it was a slow start, but things have been awesome lately. i missed out on the first big dumps over the holidays. i was riding in quebec instead. but since i've been back it has been dumping every day. the base is...

great report. glad to hear you had a good time. i think it sounds like an awesome place. doubt i'll get there this year but it's on my life's to-do list.

nice pix. looks like a great day.

yep - very ugly up here. the forecast is optimistically calling for freezing levels at mid-mountain, but even then it's just going to be sludge up top. at 71cm, we have less base now than we did on nov. 24. pineapple or global warming? it's shaping up to be a very quiet winter up here. i'll...
