I'll be
arriving there Saturday. Pretty excited. I know they just got a storm that dropped a couple feet which is going to turn into rain then sunny throughout the rest of the week. Wondering how the coverage and snow is.

Thanks!

snow = concrete, cause of the rain. Cold temps and sun will turn that heavy snow into ice. the only saving grace is that there is more of a base now than there was on sunday, but the quality of the snow is crap.

Yeah that's what I kind of hand in mind. Hopefully they'll get some fresh snow soon.

Had a kick ass time in Whistler this weekend. Super cold on Sat then some fresh for sunday. The only thing that sucked was the waste of the foot and a half they got sunday night. I was thinking pow day on monday but no it had to rain and turn it all to shit. NO matter what you always have a good time in whistler.

shitty, the only thing worth doing right now is hanging out in the park, but i wouldnt take a trip up there, theres still rocks and dirt sticking out, so much of that fresh snow melted the day after

hut is amazing right now, maybe 30 feet or so, but steepish takeoff, steep landing.

Damn, I know Saturday was epic but not sure if all the lifts scheduled to be open that day really opened due to the weather and stuff. Sunday must of been epic.
