East Coast is a hella of a lot better than whistler if they are open and actually getting snow. It has been sunny in Coastal BC for the entire month of OCtober, and it's supposed to stay sunny all through this week and next week.

i think the whole northwest drought thing is good.
the rain just gonna wait till its a little bit colder, and then its gonnna dump all winter long, baker will reset the world record and we'll be skiing there all next summer, sounds good to me


THE SPRINKLER: get butt naked and then do a 1260 while taking a piss, i expect this trick to win many comps this coming season.

Yah It wil come, but its too late. THis time last year whislter had probably close to 6 feet in the Alpine. There are so many huge ass rocks and cliffs in the Alpine areas that need to be covered, and they need to have a lot of snow to cover that shit. They'll probably make it for the opening date, but it will probably be all man made snow on green groomers, and no good terrain will be open for a while.

Ontario is supposed to have a brutually cold winter...Dunno if that means more snow but isnt also our year to have huge massive amounts of snow since the West got pounded last year??? Dont the 2 coasts switch each season?

hmmm... Forecast models are finally showing a wet pattern starting to develop beginning Tuesday evening. The long-range models have been teasing us for weeks -- on when this dry pattern will finally give way. This time it seems to be getting more attention, so we're going to cautiously call for some light rain showers moving in Tuesday evening, and increasing to moderate to heavy rainfall on Thursday.... damnit, the highs are gonna be too warm for snow, but its a good change
