Whistler 22-23

[The AD]

why whats it look like now?

Every time I've been there recently it's much smaller or maybe completely gone.

[t.odd]

didn't they widen out the bench at the top of the blowhole a bunch of years ago? feel like that changed how it filled in...but it's all a bit hazy

Lesser Flute opened after a storm cycle. Snow depth approx 150cms below ridgeline but 60cms at ridgeline showing how that low density snow got moved around by wind.

I don't come here often. When I do this is what I expect to see in this thread. Nice work LL.
Carry on.

May not be the best thread to ask in, but heading to Pemberton soon for a sledding course. Staying at Pemberton Valley Lodge (good god - not cheap. Where do people stay in Pemberton when travelling solo?). What is the likelihood of my sled disappearing overnight? It's an old 2016 so not exactly a head tuner but still, people will steal anything that isn't bolted down.

Airbnb & nearly every truck in Pemby has a sled in the back.

Figrued re: sleds & trucks. Airbnb was even worse than the lodge for pricing/availability.

Peak opened today. Outflow winds are wrecking the alpine skiing but below ridge tops the skiing is still good. Glad I got a good round of hike-to-the-Peak turns in the last couple of weeks!

Dang re: outflow, and looks like inversion (FL 2000-2300 today/forecast tomorrow)? Was debating come up and cruising around the resort tomorrow as I have a day off, but may wait for snow next week and go mountain biking instead... feeling lazy.

New Red chair opens tomorrow.

Any inside info on Creekside? Saw Thursday mentioned somewhere and that final load testing was yesterday (Sunday) but can’t remember where I read it.

[Clownshoe]

All signs point to just before Christmas but nothing definitive yet.

[The AD]

I guess they're getting some good cold weather testing in right now.

[t.odd]

burning the late night oil on it right now according to the creekside webcam, can't say they aren't trying!

Around 30cm on my driveway in Langley. It took 3 hours with the tractor to clear a path to the road.

Baker had 38cms. Shovelled 33cms in North Van

[pow_pow~]

Yeah about knee high at ubc, both my neighbours are elderly so I had three plowed in cars to shovel

You can see they've got the fencing up now for the gondola lineup, so it must be opening soon. Is it possible it could open today?

[pow_pow~]

No they won’t open it before the ceremony

[Toadman]

No they won’t open it before the ceremony

Does that include breaking a bottle of beer on the first gondola?

[The AD]

With this weather they'll have a hard time keeping the beer liquid.
