They say you should always scope your landings. So why not scope out the whole mountain! Doglotion was eager to find out exactly what dangers lay beneath some of Whistler's more notorious runs, so we set out onto Whistler Mountain this weekend for some pre season reconnaisance. And hey we'd heard about some freshies in the alpine, who knew, maybe some lines were already good to go...

Trudging through 1cm of new snow, we were able to make our way around the mountain, scoping things out for the season. The verdict overall? Uh, we need more snow. But that'll come. Here's some of our findings...

Air Jordan... yep, needs a bit more snow I think.

Don't Miss... hmmm, yep this sucker needs some more snow too.

Weekend chutes... bit whiter, but yep, still think we need more snow. No wonder you're not allowed to ski here.

Hmmm, not sure what this sign was telling us, must be an off-season thing.
