Blackcomb Opening Day: Sunny Hot Laps

spinning

Blackcomb Mountain opened today and it was a super good time! I was not sure what the snow was going to be like since it had not snowed in a bit, but was surprised to find super soft and fresh snow. It was definitely wind-blown and anything that was on an open face had a wind crust and funky snow. But in the protected areas the snow was soft, smooth, and awesome to ride. In the morning we were hot lapping chair line of Jersey and having an awesome time. I could not stop skiing to take a picture because it was such a fun time.

Whistler Conditions Report: All Time April

It is safe to say that April has been the best month of the season for powder. It has been going off in Whistler for the last two weeks, with deep storms and cold temperatures compared to the rest of the winter. The alpine has been all time with new snow every couple of days, making it fresh and fun. There has been some wind with these most recent storms making some pockets super deep, while other ridges are icy and have variable snow. Crowds have been pretty small during the weekdays, and not too bad on the weekends either. This week there have been more people on the mountain and in the bars due to WSSF (World Ski and Snowboard Festival).

This past week has been a mash of snow, rain, freezing levels rising and falling, and clouds. Up high on the mountain has been the place to be for the entire season and that is still true today. Sunday was by far the best snow day we have had in a while. There was over 30 cm of fresh that day with lower freezing levels. It was snowing in the parking lots for some parts of the day which has not occurred in a hot second. It was socked in all day so people were sticking to the trees and up high near rocks for visibility.

Over the night rain continued […]
