Whistler Conditions Report: Fresh Powder and Fun Times This morning was awesome up in Whistler. The recent storm has brought in around 44cm of snow on the mountain making for some of the deepest snow of the year so far. The weekend was crowded with as it was the last weekend of the holiday season for most. On Monday the crowds seemed to dissipate a bit, however there were still some lines at the lifts as locals looked to get the goods. On Monday, I started the day by doing a couple of Jersey laps. Things were super fun in the morning as the snow was deep. This recent storm opened up a lot of terrain on the mountain […] Conditions Report Peter Wentz | January 5, 2015 0 Comments
Whistler, B.C. Conditions Report: Storm Skiing and Holiday Fun The biggest storm of the winter so far just rolled through Whistler dropping over 70cm over the last week. It really felt like winter up in the mountains this weekend as the storm came in and freshened up and filled in much of the terrain. The storm made for some awesome skiing conditions with powder in most areas in the morning, and terrain getting skied off later in the day. Even later though it was still really good soft, chopped up snow due to constant cold temperatures up high […] Conditions Report Peter Wentz | December 22, 2014 0 Comments
Whistler, B.C. Conditions Report: Alpine Opening This past weekend at Whistler Blackcomb, the alpine opened! People were very excited to get up and into the upper mountain with some fresh snow and good coverage. Saturday was when the Alpine opened with Glacier and 7th Heaven running on Blackcomb. On Whistler Peak and Harmony were open for periods on the weekend. The snow up high was insanely good, as things looked more covered in certain areas than they were late January of last year.

Whistler, B.C. Conditions Report: Blackcomb Alpine Powder This last week Whistler had an an interesting mix of weather making for some fun skiing. Thursday night was met with about 8cm of new snow on top of some hardpack and ice. This new snow was definitely needed and brought out good skiing to be had all over the upper mountain. Saturday Whistler was expected to get some rain to the top of most open runs and snow in the alpine. It rained for a bit in the morning, but by the afternoon it was an interesting mix of fog and sun that made for nice slush and soupy skiing. Saturday night the temperatures dropped and froze all of the fun slushy snow […] Conditions Report Peter Wentz | December 8, 2014 0 Comments
Whistler, B.C. Conditions Report: Blackcomb Opening Blackcomb Mountain opened up this last Thursday! After a bit of rain and some new snow up high, it was good to get out on the hill. The mountain was not that crowded as both Whistler and Blackcomb were now open. Most areas on the hill are still closed due to low snow. However, you were definitely able to get off the main runs if you were feeling a little adventurous, and willing to avoid some rocks and sticks poking around. With some new snow up high it was nice to be able to get some fresh turns […] Conditions Report Peter Wentz | December 1, 2014 0 Comments
Whistler Blackcomb Conditions Report: Opening Weekend The start of a new ski season has arrived here at Whistler Blackcomb! For the last few weeks I have been digging through my garage among bikes, surfboards, unlabeled boxes, and other random things in search of my ski gear last seen in May.
