Snow Report, Monday 16 April 2007

Last Friday it snowed most of the day. In the village the snow was mostly wet but at least it was snow not rain.
On Saturday there was 22cm of new snow overnight, the freezing levels did ride a bit, but hey it is mid April so that allowed.

We got up the mountain nice and early and we were presently surprised that the weather was great, mostly blue skies with a little bit of cloud. First runs on the Peak we awesome, nice dry snow and quite deep. The lift line was quite large, but seeing as though it is the World Telus Ski and Snowboard Festival, they were not to bad, and moving quite quickly.
After a couple of runs the Peak was getting quite tracked out and due to the sun being quite warm the snow was getting a little wetter. It was time to head to the trees. We headed out to Million Dollar Ridge. Awesome! The snow was great down to the Big Timber ski out, but after that it was about as wet and heavy as you can get.
Sunday we up a little later as there was no new snow. You really had to pick your faces as the north east faces were very heavy and wet due to the sun, but the rest were still fairly dry, a little heavier than Saturday but still good.
I didn’t go up skiing today, but it has been snowing heavily all the way to the village all day. Hopefully it will continue into tonight so we get another powder day tomorrow.





I can’t believe you are still getting fresh pow in Whistler when all the other mountains around the world are closed. I am so jealous!
