More Snow in Whistler

We're only a week or so into fall, and it's getting pretty obvious. Yesterday's cold temps and precip came down wet in the valley but white on the mountain. More signs that winter is creeping in, bring it on we say.

Early Bird Season Passes are still on sale until Oct 8, get yours and we'll see ya'll up here soon.

And if you're in Whistler come out to the TGR premiere tonight. Local shredders will be out for it. Whistler Blackcomb rider Ian McIntosh will be in the house, and pretty much owns the opening part of the film.

Here's what Red Chair on Whistler Mountain looked like this morning from the webcam.

And here's a pretty good view of the Peak to Peak construction.

Looks like the snow gods are giving Whistler another taste of winter this weekend. Were you really ready for spring anyways? Didn't think so.

After a season that would make anybody West or East of here sick (the bad kind) it snowed 30 cms on Easter Sunday. 2 weeks after all of the hills closed. Amazing...

Fernie Snow Report

Contrary to what is displayed on RCR's skifernie.com it has snowed more than 40 cm this past week here in Fernie. It is probably closer to 100cm, and it is still dumping outside at 7 tonight and is forecast to continue for the next few days. I would imagine that the base is sitting somewhere closer to 150-160cm now. The mountain is in prime condition.

Today waist to chest deep turns were layed down on Tom's Run in Curry, and a few more lines were added to Surprise and Black Cloud in Timber Bowl.

I am getting a bit tired of skinning up the mountain everyday and I am really wishing that I could be riding the chairlifts to take advantage of the superb skiing conditions out there at the moment. I payed $1000 dollars for a SEASONS Pass this year, and I am beginning to wonder why I can't ride the lifts when the SEASON is now well underway. One can only wish that FAR will announce an early opening this week like so many other ski areas in Western Canada have done...

Mt. Baker Opens Thursday

Mt Baker is opening this Thursday November 16th 2006! Woot! Their base is up 178cm deep at the top according to snow report.

The report on their side says:

We had another one roll through yesterday and last night, leaving us another 14 INCHES OF NEW SNOW. Since Saturday morning, we have had 53 INCHES OF NEW SNOW!

Ski area rope lines are going up today, chair lift ramps are being groomed and prepped and base areas are receiving stocking shipments.

We are still going with our OPENING DAY OF THURSDAY NOVEMBER 16, as we are continuing to watch Tuesday night/Wednesdays system which looks like it is carrying A LOT of precip. . . . and possibly some warm air with it. We need to see how this system affects the snowpack and since the forecasts are calling for a rapidly lowering freezing level later on Wednesday, THURSDAY still looks like our day.

I'm stoked. I'll think about it...sitting in my office...staring out the window at Grouse Mtn. Rumors have it that Whistler will open Sat Nov 18th. But I got bad info that for today...cough...Sam! So no promises.

Paul Ridge, Squamish

With all the snow in the alpine we've been reading about on the Whistler site, it was definately time to get up and check it out. The location - Paul Ridge, Squamish. The posse - myself, Marcott, Andre, Mathieu, Tobin, and Shabut. Actually, Andre wasn't really part of the posse, of course he was hung over and even more tardy than us. By the time the crew of early season slackers reached the alpine, there was likely 125cm new, and it was heavy. Skiing turned less turning, and more HUMPING down the hill.

Marlowe dropping in.

Tobin: I think that was the most work every for 400ft of vertical

Shabut: By the way, that wasn't skiing

Mathieu: That was humping.

Andre, Matt and Chabot skinning up.

Andre getting shot in the face.

I got to the office this morning to a pleasant surprise, Jonny sent me a message on messenger that Snowbird just got 17"!! Check out this pic to prove it! It's getting so close I can taste. The last few days in Vancouver have been non stop cold rain. I've heard rumors that even the North Shore mountains like Grouse Mtn have received a dusting. Alright back to the grind...

Loveland, CO got 15" of Snow!

It's started we now officially have 2 resorts open in our little continent! Loveland, CO, just got 15" (that's 38cms) last weekend and has had 38" (almost 100cms!) in total so far this year. I remember getting face shots on Nov 5th in Whistler last year...show me the west coast money!

Check out their webcam looks a lot better than A-Basin's start. It's getting close boys and girls...wax those boards and do some squats or something.
