About the Author

My name is Greg Hildebrand, and I have designed and maintain this website. It’s purpose is to give my opinion on the ‘real’ snow conditions of Whistler Mountain. However, if read often enough, you will discover that I spend more time on Blackcomb Mountain, my favourite. Here, you will be able to find out what kind of shape the mountains are in, from a ‘hands on’ perspective.

I was born in Canada, near Toronto but moved to Brisbane, Australia when I was young. I first arrived in Whistler during October 2003, simply with the intention of learning to ski, having a good time and then moving on. Well 2 out 3 aint bad!

I have no affiliation with the Whistler Blackcomb Ski Resort, and report the skiing and snow conditions as I honestly find it. I have in the past worked for the mountain, and may from time to time hold ‘seasonal’ or ‘volunteer’ jobs, but it will not persuade me to ‘talk up’ the conditions. If they are bad, I will say so, if they are good, I will also say so.

Lastly, I am not an ‘expert’ skier. So if you are looking for reports about skiing the steepest lines or hucking the highest cliffs, then you are in the wrong place. If, however, you are a competent skier who can ski almost any in-bound run in almost any conditions, then you are like me, and will get the most out of these reports. I will also try to describe how the overall mountain is, so that beginners can find out what the snow will be like in the areas they will be skiing the most.

Let it Snow!
