How is it at Big White?

I'm heading up to Big White for the weekend... just wondering if anybody knows how the mountain is right now? I'm bummed that there really hasn't been any snowfall recently at all.

Is this seriously how cold it is right now? I'm gonna need to dress insanely warm to keep up if that's accurate.

There is snow in the forecast starting Saturday, so hopefully that comes.

The Okanagan is not the warmest place at the moment.

Yup here's to hoping.

I went last year in February and wasn't anywhere near this cold!

Doesn't feel that cold up on the hill, but it is chilly.

Snow is ok if you look in the right places: Powder Chair, Easter Chutes, but on the whole its fine but in need of a huge dump. But hey, where isn't.

How's the mountain looking for this weekend? I'm headed up for the weekend with the UBC Commerce faculty. I'll probably be drunk the entire weekend, but I still wouldn't mind some decent skiing. What's good? And btw, if anyone is up there and spots me (grey saga shut out, black slims, blue airblaster facemask, UBC SKI sticker on helmet), give me a shout and we can shred a slap or two?

It was better than I was expecting over the weekend.

Got there friday night, hit the park for the evening.

Saturday was foggy as hell, couldn't see anything until it started snowing in the afternoon. Got ~10 cm at some places. There was about 10 cm of fresh sitting outside my condo. Powder chair was fun with the fresh snow as well as ridge rocket (?) Night was good again. Clear and cold as hell.

Sunday I went out to gem lake early in the morning, didn't like the snow out there much, but headed over to Black Forest and had a pretty good time in there following the lift and the trees around there.

It was pretty fun. I'm sure it'll get better by next weekend. I think this week will be good for snow.

Kay so I haven't clue fucking one as to any of what areas you're talking about as I've never been to Big White before. SO, if someone wants to shred this weekend coming up and wouldn't mind having me tag along, I'd be stoked. If we have powder, I want to make the best of it! Somebody hit me up on my cell on Friday, Saturday or Sunday- 604 754 6605
