Its not everyday you get to go wakeboarding on the same day you go snow skiing, let alone do it in the same town.

We went skiing on Blackcomb in the morning, the snow was awesome and the sun was shining. On the way home we got the phone call to go wake boarding on Green Lake, so we thought, why not.

Here are some photos from wakeboarding, sure the water was cold but if you’re in a wetsuit  nice and thick then it no problem.

The skiing in Whistler is still so good. The snow base is still hovering around the 3 metre mark(Mid-mountain).

The past week it has been blue bird and nice and warm. The snows been soft but staying relatively fast. What more could you want at the end of the season.

Here is a photo from last Saturday for you to check out the conditions for yourself.

This is a small video I took while waiting for the Peak Chair to open last Saturday.

There was 22cm of fresh snow overnight, and Patrol was being very cautious and bombed just about everything. I counted at least 5 bombs on the ridge above Excitation. This was the last one to go off.

Check it out.

Wow, what a day.

I woke to blue bird skies in Whistler and thought to my self that I would get up the hill early today, just in case like yesterday the clouds rolled in. I am super glad that I did.

I was skiing by myself today, which was great, sometimes I find it a little hard to stay motivated to keep doing runs, but today I did not have that problem. I headed up Blackcomb and on the lower mountain the snow was sounding quite hard, but then it was early and the sun had not had a chance to soften things up.

Once I got to the top Wizard chair the snow was looking, and sounding quite nice. I headed up Solar Coaster and headed over to 7th Heaven. The views from 7th are unbeatable. Once I got to the top I headed over to Couloir Extreme (Sudan Couloir) and went down the ridge until I was standing on top of Hawaii. There was quite a stiff breeze that was blowing a lot of snow into the couloir. I jumped in and it was beautiful, nice wind blown snow that was just magic to ride.

Once that was down I headed down to the bottom of Glacier Express and the groomed runs down were awesome. There was no ice or hard snow and you could leave a really nice trench from carving down the hill. It was probably some of the nicest groomed runs I have done for the season.

Back to the top I decided to go over to Secrete Bowl and down Cougar Chutes. Again the snow was really nice with a nice layer of wind blown sitting on top. From there I jumped back onto the groomed runs. Absolute Magic!

Another few more runs in other locations were just as good. You’ve got to love mid-week spring skiing. There is no-one around and really great skiing.

By the time I skied back to the bottom, the snow had softened up and was really nice, not slushy but still soft.

I just checked the temperature outside and it is 12 degrees, it won’t be long until everyone has their bikes out, although there is still a fair bit of snow in the valley.

Here is a small clip of a chute in the West Cirque area of Whistler Blackcomb.

Unfortunatly that day it was nice powder some turns and pretty hard some other. Still lots of fun though.
