November Rainbow Drop. Light and fluffy.

I was in Merlin's Monday afternoon and Whistler's favourite American local Brain Baker said of course we were going to drop Rainbow in November on Tuesday as forecast was for sun, and obviously there
was snow.  Of course -20 temps and is the ski out going to be ok
were issues I brought up but Brian just talked about the pow and
after thinking about that as well forgot about everything else and went to find neck gaiter, harness, etc....  8AM flight barely ever happens on time and ture to form we left at 8:30 but were treated to one of the better views I have seen with pure bluebird and Rainobows trees balnketed with over 400 cms of new snow!

Straight from a manager at Whistler-Blackcomb...

" MASSIVE WINTER STORM HERALDS EARLY OPENING AT WHISTLER BLACKCOMB Whistler Mountain set to open this Saturday, November 18  WHISTLER, BC, November 13, 2006 – A massive winter storm that has blanketed Whistler resort since Thursday night in 75 centimeters or 30 inches of snow, has precipitated the announcement that the resort will open earlier than expected.

So of course October started with the party of the year, Sep 29 in Mendoza at Alfred's house to celebrate his birthday and the end of the season (although the season had really not ended yet in Las Lenas).
