Today was excellent and I had a really good time up there. The alpine is a perfect -6C —> -10C and there is quite a lot of ‘fresh’ to be found. The light snow is blown around so easy it is resulting in a lot of deep pockets. We did a run down Dog Leg and besides from some cornice debris to be wary of, it was completely fresh.

Martin Luther King Weekend
January 15th, 2012What fantastic conditions for our American friends to enjoy their Martin Luther King long weekend. Clear skies and cold temperatures after some fresh snow falling Thursday/Friday. There wasn’t a lot of fresh, around 10cm (~4 inches), but it was light and fluffy.

Goodbye Sun Hello Powder
January 13th, 2012I just finished another fun day on Whistler mountain, the snow wasn’t ideal (~week of cold sunshine), but fun nonetheless. The upper alpine provided decent turns as did the very bottom of the mountain.
Check out the forecast – snow to the valley!
