Whistler-Blackcomb Report: Bluebird Saturday Shred Fest In the days leading up to this last weekend, the weather window between spring storms at whistler shifted in our favor. Saturday and Sunday were projected to have mostly bluebird conditions with a shallow dusting of wet spring pow. The lower portion of Blackcomb was either overcast or a complete white-out, and the snow was quite possibly the worst sticky wet snow I’ve ever skied. The upper lifts took a good hour to open after the gondolas started loading people up, so we got stuck skiing the leftover sloppy sludge practicing our face-plant skills. In order to avoid further slush […] Conditions Report Bevan Waite | May 13, 2014 0 Comments
Whistler-Blackcomb | Powder Skiing | April 27th Whistler has been hit with a more than decent amount of snow this spring. Last Sunday was a classic pseudo powder day at whistler.

Nonetheless, the weather warmed up and settled the fluffy […] Bevan Waite | May 1, 2014 2 Comments

VIDEO: Mid-Winter Whistler, B.C. Update: This winter has been rough so far for the Whistler area. With low snow and storms far and few in between, we have spent these early months of winter trying to chase the powder from Revelstoke to Baker. Although it always hasn’t been a success it is always an adventure. Scoping new zones, seeing different snowpacks, and working in a group dynamic always makes things interesting.
