summer camp insight IMPORTANT

Before you kids drop two g's on summer camp, be advised.
The pacific northwest region, including hood and whistler, is having the worst snow season in many decades. All of the ski resorts in Washington state are close due to lack of snow.

The summer camps at Whistler are held on the snow that falls on top of the Blackcomb glacier, not the glacier itself. It's very difficult to sculpt a jump out of solid glacial ice. Hood also relies on the natural snowfall that blows around at the high elevation and fills in it's canyons for thier camps.
SO unless we get dumped on in February and March, I wouldn't count on summer skiing lasting past May.

The big storm that has been raining out most of the lower slopes at Whistler Blackcomb has actually been pounding the glacier with snow! Don't believe all the doom and gloom reports.

The Palmer Glacier at tline has been getting snow though, not rain like everywhere else. So while they might not be open as long this summer, they'll most likely be open.

bjork and that duck suit thingy at the olympics a few years back-good stuff.

yea, but the PNW is a shitty situation right now. doesnt look like itll get better anytime soon. hopefully hood and whistler, if only for a while, can operate in the summer. i, like many around here, need to ski
