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!

Whistler Blackcomb Cover shot

With just under three meters of snow landed on the slopes thus far, the season is shaping up to be another one for the books.

Jimmy Barrett and myself, Jeff Boyce went out shooting again and landed another homepage shot on www.whistlerblackcomb.com, the official site of Canada's premier resort.

If you want shots of yourself similar to this, be sure to visit our services link on the top right of this page.

Lots more shredding to come, can't wait until the peak opens up! 

Whistler Blackcomb Cover

Summer has come (barely) and gone and its that time of year to pull out the old boards and planks from your storage area , wax 'em up and hit up Whistler mountain for some early season powder.

Thankfully, our dear friend La Nina has decided to make an appearance again this winter and has dropped over two metres of mother natures sugar on the slopes so far, making for some great early season turns.

Stop Motion Photo was out there to capture these turns and owner/photographer Jeff Boyce has already logged his first www.whistlerblackcomb.com cover shot of the season with rider Jimmy Barrett.

With Blackcomb mountain set to open tomorrow, a fresh canvas awaits! Winter is here and we're set up for another good one!
