Didn't see a recent post on the topic. Is it worth the drive for a day? My sister and her husband came here for skiing but um, we have a slight snow problem... I don't want to drive to Whistler for crappy conditions though.

There's this recent post.
Its not good, worst early season I have seen in the past 8 years. Rain to the top then freezing cold temps makes for some shitty conditions. Forecast this week is sun, no snow in the forecast. The Blackcomb ski out is almost gone.
Lots of USC and UCLA girls getting wasted at the local bars though.
The word from people who just came back is that Whistler is worse off than Baker...
Agreed and seconded. Saturday was okay up on the Peak- skied more like spring conditions- then today the freezing level fell. I only made a couple of runs and called it. Longest skating rink I've seen - pretty much the entire face of Blackcomb, save a few pockets off 7th Heaven where the wind blew a 'little' dust on crust.Quote:

Oh, and Cab9, thanks for the beer.
:cussing: I don't know what we did to piss off Ullr this year in the PNW/BC Coast?

This has to be this guys fault.

I think Joshbu has just figured it all out...the snow gods retreated right around November 2nd out of fear...I think they are hiding out in the hills of Afghanistan with all the "terrorists".Quote:
