Just wanted to share a quick edit of some of the highlights from the Parks on Whistler Blackcomb over November 2009...

Whistler Blackcomb has officially surpassed the previous record of snow in the month of November with 418cm (165 inches) of snow falling as of Thursday, November 19. The previous record, set in 2006, was 416cm (164 inches). The snowfall record dates back to 1979.

The current storm system has blanketed the mountains with over 204 cm (80 inches) of fresh snow in the past week. Operations crews are hard at work preparing more lifts and terrain to open this weekend as conditions allow.

If you’re the type that counts boards in your sleep, rather than sheep, gets uncontrollably giddy at the first sign of snowfall, and has been declared a snow addict by your family physician, then you may want to continue reading.

You might have already heard...Whistler Blackcomb early bird pass prices are at the lowest they've been for a decade! On sale as of today, an early bird adult unlimited pass is available for just $1,099 until October 12, 2009. In comparison, last year’s early bird adult unlimited pass was $1,529. Plus, this year all pass prices include unlimited access to the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola.

“Hey man, let’s sesh the glacier, it opens this weekend.”

After a brief hiatus Whistler Blackcomb is back in snow business with the opening of the Horstman Glacier on Blackcomb Mountain on Saturday, June 20 for summer skiing and snowboarding.

The countdown is on and the party begins this Friday. The TELUS World Ski and Snowboard Festival kicks into high gear April 17-26, 2009. The only thing to do is get yourself to the centre of the action. Here are some highlights of what's on the adjenda, including some new events you'll want to check out.

I sit down to write a little somt’n somt’n and the minute I start to type the fog rolls in and the idea gets lost. 

 My blog this week is your blog.  Sit back and think about the epic pow days in your life or that down-flat-down or your first stomp; or maybe even the very first day you put skis on.

If you know Whistler or the West Coast in general, you know it doesn’t take long for the forecast to change around here.  After a cold snap and little snow, one of the biggest dumps of the year slapped down on Whistler.  As luck would have it, the fresh sky love happened to fall the day before my weekend, something like 15cm the first morning and 23cm the second morning.
