Whistler Fun

I was up at Whistler over the weekend. My brother and I managed to catch the Saturday / Sunday storm, which made for fun conditions in soft, heavy snow. If anyone here is really jonesing for a fix, I think it'd be worth your time for two days. Most of both upper mountains are open and pretty well filled-in. It could be a really good corn harvest this year, and while I was gratetful for fresh stuff, it would have been just as nice in warm, sunny conditions.

Yeah it was fun, the snow was decent until 11 AM on Sunday, afterwards it deteriorated pretty quickly. Lots of snow in the forecast but still Backcomb will close 1 month earlier this year. This might complicate Spearhead Traverse trips.

Whistler Blackcomb (WB) usually closes Whistler Mountain for spring operations, but made the switch this year for several reasons — the biggest one being the unusually low snowfall this season and how Blackcomb’s south-facing terrain will be more difficult to maintain into the spring.

IIRC, they did something similar at the end of the 2004-2005 season. Ran Whistler in the alpine until Memorial Day then switched over to the Blackcomb Glacier.
