BLACKCOMB UNOFFICIAL OPENING DAY - NOVEMBER 17, 2006

A big storm hit Vancouver on Wednesday the 15th as two big systems battled it out over Vancouver. Record-breaking rainfall and 140 kmh winds brought down trees, cut off power, and melted our igloos. Meanwhile skiers laughed and burned offerings and praised Ullr for all gifts.

With 64 cms new in Whistler over the past 48 hours we cancelled our Baker opening day plans and headed to Blackcomb to raid Mother Nature's private stashes.
