| A week after the end of summer, Mother Nature is switching gears to bring winter to the mountains in a major way. Whistler Blackcomb received its second dusting of snow in a week this weekend, with up to 30cm of snow falling in the alpine on Saturday night; the snowline making it all the way to the valley. Another 18cm of snow is expected in the next 24 hours with more forecast throughout the week. |

Mother Nature has dumped over 80 centimetres of snow on Whistler Blackcomb in the last 48 hours bringing the mountain’s snow base to 108 centimetres/43 inches.
The Environment Canada Alpine Forecast is calling for a small reprieve from the intense weather tomorrow and Wednesday before storms pummel the mountains again on Thursday and Friday with 20-40 centimetres forecasted.

veeeight, that's what Tom Pro called it. I assume he knows what he's talking about.

|
|
You know it makes sense.
|
Yes he certainly does. I meant it is designated as a (mountain) bike trail, with a bike trail name, as opposed to the name "Bike Trail"......
It's not a designated ski trail

I'm not going to be there for the whole season this year due to family reasons. I'll be back for Christmas then out again in the New Year sometime.

hels_t, fly out/arrive on December 11th, then back to Vancouver on the evening of the 18th before flying back on the evening of the 19th. Just hoping that I don't fall down a hole again...
