Merry Christmas

After a drought that lasted far longer than any skier would hope for, the best gift of all was delivered just in time for Christmas... Snow!

With more snow on the way, it seems the season has gotten back on track in a hurry.

Rider Jimmy Barrett and skier Jamie Cornwell are the faces gracing the Whistler Blackcomb homepage this Christmas Vacation!

Merry Christmas!

La Nina's Vacation

With the ski season kicking off with a bang and all the talk of the weather cycle known as La Nina, which has brought the below average temperatures/above average precipitation over the past year to the Coastal Range, it seems La Nina has taken a vacation in the last couple of weeks.

Clear sunny sky's, temperature inversions and melt/freeze are all contributing factors to the less than ideal conditions at the moment.  With 8cm being the most significant snow fall in the past two weeks, whispers of dust on crust have been heard around the village.

In search of fresh powder, ski touring over the Musical Bumps to Cowboy ridge has helped make the most of the fresh snow we have received!
