    who has snow??

    just wondering where the snow's been falling this year, as it certainly hasn't been out here on the coast of BC. I overheard a heli guide saying how difficult it has been to find anything decent in the last two weeks - and he's got a freakin helicopter. well, we've got 2-5cm in the forecast...

    time for another whistler update

    i haven't posted since my first few turns in november and a lot has happened since then. we got some real nasty freezing rain at the beginning of the month which kept me off the mountain for a few days. then it dumped huge for about 4 days. the temps stayed cold so we were blessed with some...

    Whistler - late January or early March

    as has been said, it all depends on what you are looking for. the alpine in march will be at its best. there is typically a lot of precip in march, and this will be in the form of snow at the top. the lower part of the mountain is mostly groomed only for ski out and beginners anyway. i moved...

    whistler blackomb, nov 20-22

    ok, well it's only blackomb still at this point, but the other one opens up on thursday. checked out B on opening day (saturday), and along with the concensus, was very pleasantly surprised by the amount and quality of snow up there. easy crusing soft packed powder and light crowds made for a...

    whistler blackomb pre-season report

    here's what i'm looking at today: at 7pm tonight, there's about a 6" buildup on the valley floor. i'd guess 2-3 times that much halfway up the mountains.

    whistler blackomb pre-season report

    i thought i'd post, just cause i'm starting to get pumped about the season. it's been snowing consistently in the alpine for the last week or so, and they're calling for significant accumulation over the next five days. maybe worth a hike? the snow line has also been falling over the last week...

    Whistler in April?

    Conditions are still great up here as it has been snowing consistently in the alpine for the last week and a half. I was out here a few years ago in mid april and had one of my best snow days ever. I think you'll do fine for alpine conditions, although the run down to the village my scrape...

    Any good "unofficial" whistler websites?

    I know Fernie has a great one in: <A HREF="http://far.redtree.com/cgi-bin/far/index.py" TARGET="_top">http://far.redtree.com/cgi-bin/far/index.py</A> <BR> <BR>I live out here in Whistler, and considering the number of people who frequent the area, I'm surprised I haven't found any good locals...

    Sugarloaf

    Been to the Sugarloaf the 10 and 11 of Jan. Well, I'm deceived, not because of wind conditions that prevented the Timberline, Spillway East and King Pine lifts to open, but rather by the marketing! They had their way to lure me into great expectations... but certainly no rebate, considering the...
