POW!!! (right in the face)

February 26, 2009

So I had this blog done for edit and was satisfied with the report on the snow conditions until I headed up for a few laps today. Whenever there is no new snow to satisfy your hunger, Whistler Blackcomb has the # 1 Terrain Park and it makes those stretches without fresh snow totally bearable. With the Park in great condition thanks to a crew of dedicated Park Rangers working their magic, it has been going off all season.

Que Old Man Winter"¦ In the past 4 days we have had 60 cms of fresh snow, leaving most with nothing to do but slay some famous Whistler Pow! Usually picking a mountain to ski for the day is the priority. With the PEAK 2 PEAK gondola shooting the gap, commitment is now a thing of the past.(sorry ladies) With variety at your finger tips, the PEAK 2 PEAK is key in getting to the alpine lifts as they are cleared for opening.

With the holiday crowds thinning out, the mountain was a little more quite, lift lines were tiny and the face shots were continuous. I have done away with the saying "when it rains it pours" and replaced it with "when it snows it dumps""¦ in Whistler anyway. When you wake up to and look outside or at the snow report, it won"™t take more then a second or so to get pumped on the fresh dump of white gold.

The forecast is calling a bit of sun mixed with more snow this week, another 20 plus if all goes to plan. If this is a sign of things to come, the second half of this season is gonna be off the hook.

Slay on minions!
