It was phenomenal. 22 cm of new snow. When we started to ski out close to 3:30, it was starting to snow again. If you can make it to Whistler this week, I highly recommend it! It was magical to be skiing in all that new snow on May 6! PS. I am so tired right now. It was hard work skiing in all that deep stuff - not very often do you get that, and with so few people up there, it doesn’t get “groomed” down by all the skiers/boarders. It was also powder on the heavy side, of course, as the temps are fairly mild this time of year. (I reposted this here, as I realized where I originally posted this was in a thread from earlier in April, so sorry if you read it twice!) May 6, 2009

Not quite spring (sunny) skiing, but it might be decent powder :) Looks like you might have a really good day tomorrow – we have already received 15cm, and it has been raining all day in the valley.

(May 6 - 09). I hear they are expecting up to 15 cm new snow up top over Tuesday? Sweet. I am looking forward to a full day of spring skiing. Planning to ski at Blackcomb on Wed this week.

This year, for some reason, they are leaving Blackcomb open for now, but will re-open Whistler for skiing on May 19th (snow permitting). So, May 16th the bike park opens, and then May 19th, the upper mountain reopens for skiing. The skiing will be confined to Emerald and Red chairs - with the possibility of Harmony on weekends. This is what has happened in the past....

Yes, Whistler will re-open for skiing/snowboarding on May 19th and I can't wait. Friends who skied this past weekend said it was good. Fresh snow today. Some firmer conditions especially early in the day but not as icey as it was back in Feb! Hi Sam,

Do they mean for mountain biking, cause whistler is never open for skiing this late. Hi I looked at the Whistler site and it says that whistler mountain will reopen may 19th for skiing/riding.
