Whistler conditions 18-19
Augtober seems like maybe it's pushed off? Will we get some early season storms in?
Let's start off with a moment of silence for Wizard chair.
RIP Wizard.
Can we start some sort of early rumours that the new gondola on Blackcomb sucks so that it doesn't draw people over from Whistler?

Meh, it's just a feeder lift. Unless there's loading at the angle mid station.

they've totally moved fresh tracks breakfast to Blackcomb, Shirk...probably not, but they probably will consider it on overflow days, can't leave money standing around in the plaza on those busy pow mornings!

Fuck, I didn't even think of the possibility of Fresh Tracks on Bcomb with the new gondi.
Let's hope patrol says no as too high a risk of a jong getting into avy control terrain.

That was literally the first thing i thought when they annouced it. they'd really only need 4 volley patrollers at the top of the gondi to stop people traversing to make it happen. I think that would be the one thing that would be put me over the edge and make me consider bouncing...

Here's the question: what's faster? Uploading on the Whistler gondola or taking the new Blackcomb gondola to P2P? Considering normal lift line lengths I'd put my money on the Blackcomb route getting you to Roundhouse faster much of the time.

I have already. it'll be winter, days will be short, there will be storms with varying freezing levels. Sometimes it'll suck, sometimes it'll be great. With a bit of luck, sometimes it'll be great when folks are convinced it sucks. in other words, the usual. I predict a 100% chance of weather.

Stable, Captain. It's holding steady sir. Storms will churn the deep to the top (fingers crossed).

What's progress like on the new lifts? Are they going to be up and running anywhere close to opening weekend. Friends in Squamish were telling me that they still didn't have all of the pads poured and towers installed and that was around the middle of September.

Would be awesome if some of todays precip fell as snow, but its still early. Last year was a slow October, then mid November was wild and i rode super deep pow days before opening. I love how everyone freaks out, every year, without fail...

Never been to Whistler before...hoping to make the journey this year from the east coast. Thinking late spring, though. Decent time to go?
