If you have been in Whistler for the last few days you would have thought we were back in the middle of winter. In the last 7 days we have received 64cm of new snow. On top of that it has been nice dry snow, not the wet stuff that you would expect at this time of the year.

Off piste there has been lost of powder to play in, and on piste the runs have a nice dusting of soft powdery snow on top. Along with the great snow there is hardly any one on the hill so there are no lift lines, which means the powder is lasting the whole day instead of being skied out in a couple of hours.

Its hard to believe that Whistler Mountain is closing this weekend, as there is so much snow, we still have a snow base of over 3 metres at mid-mountain. At least Blackcomb is staying open for a while longer.
