Whistler Blackcomb Conditions Report: Five Star Slush Whistler Blackcomb is in full on spring mode. With an awesome park setup and 5 star corn to go and harvest, it is hard to go wrong with spring in Whistler. This weekend was especially sunny making the skiing that much more fun. We started the day off with some Spankey’s laps which were the smoothest spring skiing I have had in a while. With almost perfect corn, slush, powder smooth snow it was hard to want to change it up. We eventually ventured to the Couloir Extreme and found similarly fantastic snow. At the end of the day we decided to have some quick laps and rode the front side of Glacier chair which has a lot of fun hits in it, as well as a few runs through the park.
