Whistler Blackcomb Closed
Sunday, May 31st, 2009Spring Skiing Video
Sunday, May 24th, 2009Well I finally managed to go for a ski, and am glad I did. I only did a few laps, then enjoyed a beverage on the Roundhouse patio, but it was a fun afternoon. There was lots of snow, more than I expected. The coverage on Grand Finale was really good, which is a pitch that is a good gauge because it often show rocks and stuff. Also, the snow is super slushy and lots of fun to simply cruise around on.
Perfect Spring Skiing
Thursday, May 21st, 2009Today has been hot and sunny, and the forecast calls for a lot more of the same. Perfect weather to get in some slushy Spring skiing, and I intend to do a day or two this week (finally) 
I have heard lots of people raving about how good the conditions are lately, so it’s time to find out.
Whistler Mountain Open for Spring Skiing
Tuesday, May 19th, 2009Yesterday was the Victoria Day public holiday, and the whole weekend was extremely busy – combine a long weekend with good skiing conditions (the base is still over 150cm) and the opening of the Whistler Bike Park and you get a lot of people in town.
Snow in the Alpine
Tuesday, May 5th, 2009They are reporting 15cm of snow overnight, and it has been raining all morning in the valley. The temperatures in the alpine are just cold enough for snow, so there could be a total of 20-25cm of new snow up there right now.
