Snow Report!
Apparently, the amount of room reservations are way down this year, perhaps because people think that it's going to be very busy in Whistler this winter because of the Olympics. The actual Olympics is from February 12th to February 28th. So a bit before and a bit afterwards, I am sure it will start to get busy with media, sponsors, and athletes & their families arriving but a lot of these people aren't really in Whistler to ski the hill, they are there to work or compete. So, I think this year might be a great year to come to Whistler. Whistler Blackcomb is offering great deals on seasons passes, the new highway from Vancouver Airport (YVR) to Whistler is complete, the new Peak to Peak Gondola is complete, and the village is ready to be showcased to the world. This year is going to be a great year to visit Whistler, especially.....
Because, we are getting TONS of snow and it's only mid-November!
We've gotten 71 cm of new snow in the last 24 hours! And, over 164 cm of new snow in the last 7 days. With a base of over 156 cm at mid-mountain.
The lastest forecast is now ALL snow and NO rain. Before tomorrow morning, we are supposed to get another 50 - 70 cm of snow. And, before the end of this week (next five days/before the end of Friday) we are supposed to get between 110 cm and 165 cm of new snow! That's up to five and a half feet of new snow before next weekend.
And, if you look at the extended 14 day forecast for the town of Whistler, it doesn't look like the precipitation is going to let up at all before the end of the month and the temperatures are supposed to be staying cool and hovering around zero.
We didn't make it to Whistler mountain this past weekend but we did go ski touring to Red Heather Hut in Garibaldi Park. We were skiing knee deep powder on our first day of skiing this winter.
Apparently, opening day was a little bit busy in Whistler, because they didn't have all their chair lifts running, but I am sure if this snow keeps up, they will have more lifts open and more terrain open before the weekend.
