Party in April, sleep in May, as the saying goes. Or is it ski tonnes of slackcountry pow in April, sleep in May. Either way, we're just over half way through the 2013 World Ski & Snowboard Festival in Whistler, and damn has it been a good time so far. (Top image by Stewart Medford. Click to expand)

There’s no denying we’ve received a meager amount of snowfall in the Whistler area since the new year. The silver lining is that we’ve had a number of days of great high pressure. Skiers in the Whistler valley are a spoiled bunch.

The storms turned on late this fall in Whistler but when they finally did it was game on! We started out with an almost non-existent base on Nov 15th but by mid December it was epic face shots in the trees all the way to the valley.

Kootenay ski resorts such as Red Mountain and Whitewater always open in early December (this past weekend), three weeks later than Whistler and with less snow. To the untrained eye, this would make them seem inferior. But once you’ve been here you’ll understand it’s not about how quick it comes, but how great it is when it does.
