An opening day for the record books. Soo gnarly. So many good lines... So much awesome powder.

Wow amazing.

Now to make an early decision.. With 25cm of snow in the forecast for almost every day until Friday, should I ski my bacons when I get up there Saturday? Is there any park set up yet, or would it be best to mess around in the pow?

When I went on saturday i took my anthems... I was wishing I brought my hellbents.

No doubt bring your bacons and shred that powder.

same here bro. except something i saw on their site has me kinda worried, if you look at this http://www.whistlerblackcomb.com/whatsopen/index.htm it says stuff about being open from the 14-19th, which is rediculous considering how much snow they are getting, i sent them an email to confirm, so i'll let you all know when they reply

It could have something to do with the high avy danger at the moment. Maybe being closed for the few days before bcomb opens is so ski patrol can do their thing and control the snow.

I would expect so. I skied trees all Sunday. I definitely encountered a little exposed terrain, but really not much. I'm assuming that after the 100 or so centimetres they've received since then that everything should be nicely covered.

The snowiest November ever?! According to the WB website.


This forecast just keeps getting better. They've gotten over 50cm in the last 24 hours and to be conservative they will probably get at least another 50 before the weekend.

Jesus. Christ. I am excited.
