Whistler B.C. Conditions Report: Alpine Goods

shale slope

Yesterday Whistler received 12cm of new snow, refreshing the upper mountain. This new snow was definitely a nice addition to the current conditions as it allowed for fast and smooth skiing in the alpine. The previous week we had a nasty warm system that came through and rained almost to the peak, and in some areas there is two inch rain crust. The storm eventually cooled down, but only delivered a small dusting of snow on top of this layer. Once this snow was skied out and consolidated it skied a bit better, and finally this last system allowed for some good turns in the alpine and variable snow at tree line and below.

Whistler B.C. Conditions Report: Powder is Back w/ More on the Way

powder

Whistler has received almost 40cm in the last couple days making the riding on the mountain soft and powdery. This cold weather produced really light snow that almost felt like nothing when you were riding through it. Most of the mountain was really nice even until the end of the day, however on most turns you could feel the bottom of the powder. This is just because of how light this snow came down. In the next few days we can expect about another 15cm on top of this which will be a nice treat.

Whistler B.C. Conditions Report: Soft, Variable, and Fast Snow

harmony wall

Over the last week Whistler has not seen much new snow. However, it has stayed cold and what is left of the fresh snow is still soft. The resort is mainly skied out but the snow is forgiving in most areas. There were still some areas that held pockets of good snow. Today we skied mainly off of the Harmony lift on Whistler. Whistler also extended their alpine lift closing times until 3pm now.
