Whistler B.C. Conditions Report: Killer Start to March March is here and Whistler is looking great these days. To start the month off right the weather man delivered 34cm of snow up top. There was some wind with this snow so it built up to be a lot deeper in some areas and slimmer in others. Some windblown areas had a thick wind slab layer that would be easy to hook up on, so if you are going fast be aware of that. Conditions Report Peter Wentz | March 2, 2016 0 Comments

We finally had a good break of weather today and seems like the sun will continue through the week. Recently things did a get a little warm and there is a melt freeze layer near the bottom of Red Chair on Whistler and near the bottom of Spankeyโs on Whistler. Above that though the snow is consistent, predictable, and shredable. Conditions Report Peter Wentz | February 22, 2016 0 Comments
Whistler B.C. Conditions Report: Pow Skiing Continues The last three days in Whistler have been pretty awesome. On Monday the resort got buffed out by wind making everything up high on Whistler ski like it was fresh powder. Then that night we were hit with a solid amount of snow, and some partly cloudy skies for Tuesday. Tuesday was the day to get after it and people for sure did. In the morning it was a bit crowded, but by the afternoon the crowds had left and you were able to roll right onto the chair. By the afternoon on the slopes directly facing the sun the snow got a bit warm and heavy but the majority of it stayed cold and really good to ride.

Whistler B.C. Conditions Report: Alpine Going Off w/ Powder Powder and some more pow. Whistler has been going off the past couple days. The most recent storm came in a little warm, creating a little crust most of the way up the mountain, but then it cooled down really quick and left the top with some cold blower snow. In the alpine the crust layer is not really there and you are just left with some great skiing. Conditions Report Peter Wentz | February 2, 2016 1 Comment
Whistler B.C. Conditions Report: Treeline Pow Today, Alpine Pow Tomorrow Whistler has seen another storm roll through. This most recent storm in Whistler came in a bit warmer than others we have seen this winter however it still left us with 32cm over the last 48 hours. This new snow had a variable freezing level on the mountain, however I would say anything we road above the bottom of Emerald Chair on Whistler had some good wet powder.
