Happy New Year. Sorry, gotta run looks like an excellent day up there, I feel the need to partake.
An solid last day of the year. Not much in the way of new snow but just enough to make it all look fresh and soft. See ya'll next year.
It's snowing very lightly right now but the feeling is that there is a lot more to come. We're expecting a nice dump tonight or maybe this aft with flurries all week long right into the new year.
It's definitely brass monkey time (as in freezing the nuts off of a..). I hear guffawing from back east somewhere. Hé, if its -17c or lower this westcoast boy starts packing on the layers, that's the way it is. Meanwhile conditions are groomed softpack with more snow expected tomorrow aft.
It's a beauty, a day at the beach. Plenty snow, sunshine, anything else you'd be wanting??
The most excellent boxing day yet, was yesterday. Today looks much the same. Chance of snow says the man.
Lots of snow, good temperatures. It's going to be busy in dem thar hills. Chance of snow in the 'cast for tonight and tomorrow.
Merry Christmas! Santa delivered 39 lovely centimeters in the Alpine. Can't be here? Why? You haven't been good? Shoulda been nice? Sorry dude, too late now. You know what to do next year.
It's here, the next delivery. Kinda ugly at the bottom what with the temp going up and down like a yoyo but as soon as you step out of the gondola at midstation all is well. More to come (says the man)
Snow is a'coming I can feel it in my bones. Either that or I believe the weatherman, take your pick. Still doing the dial-in shuffle to get this on the Web. Thanks Telus!
FTP problems!! Sorry about that people I've been off the air a lot longer than I should have been. Even now I am using a temporary dial-in account, anyway we're back and that's good. Meanwhile we're having an excellent day after a few iffy ones (we had some rain at the bottom) it's getting colder again and snow is in the air!!
It's snowing very lightly right now but it feels like there's a lot more to come. Why don't I go up and check it out for you guys. Don't say I never do anything for you.
And we're back! We've had 3 meters of snow so far this season (that's TEN feet bro). Early season anyone? Oh by the way, yes it's snowing as I write this.
Icy is the word at least on the lower runs. We had a warm front coming through here which also dumped an other 15cm above midstation but gave us rain below. It then turned cold again and you can fill in the rest. They are making snow now below midstation so it should be a lot better tomorrow there is also more big snow coming, top to bottom we hope.
The sky feels heavy with snow but the temp is doing weird things what with a layer above freezing hanging around midstation but minus zero layers in the valley and in the alpine. I'll go check it out.
This was certainly an opening weekend to remember. Right now the vis is excellent, the wind is light and the base is over a meter. I think this is going to be a season to remember.
An other 20cm! It's all good. It got a little warm in the village yesterday and a bit slushy but you don't have to go up far to get into the snowline. Today the weather is going to be clearing we may even get some sun. An excellent day in my book.
27 Big ones! Come and enjoy them.The temp is excellent as well, we were told we'd have a 2200 meter freezing level with rain for a day or so but it never happened. It's even snowing (wet) down here in the valley, this aft we're expecting the freezing level to come down again and then the sun will appear. The makings of an awesome early season weekend I'd say.
Whistler mountain opens today (my fave mountain). Still waiting for that big dump we've been promised. Tonight says the man. Actually it should start later today and it sure looks like it but I won't count my inches until I shovel them of the driveway.
Excellent early season conditions. Big snow on the way, this could be a glorious weekend coming up especially Sunday!
10cm and it's still going strong looks like an other ten if not twenty by the time the day is done.
I've just been reminded that a lot of you folks are planning to come up on the American Thanksgiving weekend. What can we look forward to was the question. The answer is simple, last Saturday most everybody rode down to the village. We just got an other 7 inches with a Lot more in the forecast, I'd say forget downloading. The only fly in the ointment is the temp it is going to warm up towards the end of the week! Stay Tuned!
Snow we've been promised and snowing it is. Very lightly right now but the sky looks like it's going to dump a lot more. O yeah, about yesterday. Awesome!
Dudes! It's opening day on Blackcomb! Later!
It's definitely brass monkey time here in sunny but nippy Whistler. They are making snow just to fill some of the thin spots. Keeners are actually walking uphill just to ride a couple o'feet, there obviously will be no one left in the village tomorrow what with everyone heading for that first ride of the season.
This is it, official snow reporting has begon. As you can see we've got an 85cm base, we had about 3 feet fall over the last week with more on the way! Opening day is in two days, as always if you can't be here I feel your pain.
So like, the temperature here in the valley went up so we got some rain but only down here, a couple o'hundred meters higher things were fine. Temp is coming down again, it's snowing and starting to stick. If this keeps up we'll have keeners skiing or riding all the way into the village on opening day. Death before Download!!
Just shoveled 5cm of snow from the driveway just to see if I can still do it. If this keeps up there is going to a foot of the stuff tomorrow. Stay tuned
Oh Yeah! Book your early season tickets now. Get your butt on a plain, a train, whatever but get here. It's coming down for the rest of the week and at the end of the week?? Opening Day! Be here!
OK boys and girls, it's coming this weekend. We've been promised feet of the stuff. I can also feels it in my bones (the old war wound don't you know). Only 9 more sleeps!!
It's kinda weirdly warm right now, we've just come off a two week artic period with ice on the ponds down here in the valley and lots of man made snow on the hill. Mom nature has promised to drop some natural stuff next Monday. Two more weeks 'till opening day!!
Ok guys it's November now, time to get serious. That snow we got in October did not last of course but right now the serious weather has started. It's cold enough for snow and it looks like it'll stay this way for a while. They are making serious snow up on the hill plus we have a 60 percent chance of natural snow this weekend. Three weeks to go 'till opening day!
It's happening right in front of my eyes people. Snow! Right here on the valley floor. It's not going to stay of course, it's going to warm up later on in the day but it's a sign of things to come. Started waxing those planks yet?
Oh Yeah! It has arrived! At the Roundhouse! Cold, white, just as I remembered it. Start booking now guys this has all the earmarks of an early season start, don't take my word for it check the Farmers Almanac.
OK Guys I can feel it in my bones. It's coming, we had some dusting up top already. Long term forecasters tell us it's going to be a good to great year. Stay tuned. |
