It made me happy. The season is so soon! Fall is definitely here so it's time to be jittery about winter again eh?

Yep! I was just reading it too, and I'll gladly take 5-10 cm overnight in September. I always get way to excited for my own good in September / October.

Everyone always gets worked up every fall when this happens, and then 2 weeks later the temperature jumps and it all gets rained away. I won't be convinced until there's some solid base built up. Whistler has done far too much teasing the past couple of seasons.

I'm not saying this means it's going to be a good season. It is supposed to be an El Nino again this year right? Hope for the best anyways...
I'm just stoked that there is snow falling on the mountains again! It's something nice to think about when studying for midterms. Time to get out the rock skis and hike some october snow this weekend I think.

Too bad it's all going to melt in the next few days.  Inspiring nonetheless.

Fuck this, I'm dropping out of school to ski bum. That was always the plan after I graduated but I don't think I'm going to be able to wait.

We're gonna get more than 5mm rain... Hopefully not much more though. Freezing levels aren't supposed to be too much higher than peak though so I think we'll keep a good amount of it. There is so much snow all over BC now it's ridiculous. Though this next week isn't looking so hot... Or cold I guess.

People have been throwing around an early opening next weekend conditions permitting. I would be so happy if that was the case, but I'm not going to bank on it until I see something official.

No way me too. Diamond head right? I don't have any pics, just a little video. It looks so nice up there. Like feet of snow piled up on the trees, so deep. Really sticky in most places up there, but still super duper nice. Heading up Wednesday too and hopefully getting higher up to some softer, lighter stuff.

I didn't see you did I? I was in a saga jacket and had bacons.
