Will be interesting to see how it looks. Just heard lines are back to the brasserie so not sure wtf was going on. Nearly got ran over 3 times by people flying into creekside this AM so seems some people are super pumped on something. just not sure what/why?

Maybe crystal cracked at 230. But that’s it. Chair icing is what I heard. Or maybe vail has realized that all the closed lifts this year is driving up restaurant sales..?

Wonder if any alpine survived those winds? Can’t imagine any tree skiing will be good either with the temps, rain and winds. No idea what all those people were lining up for, besides disappointment.
At least it appears Squamish trails have melted out.

the mamquam was running about 3-4 feet higher than normal this morning where I walk the dog, couldn't actually walk along the river, but by this aft it had dropped back down about 3 feet...took a full week of hammering rain everyday for the snow to go, but valley bottom is clear now except for some piles here and there from plows.

Garibaldi Resort (Squamish)
Further delays:
https://vancouversun.com/news/local-...ntal-extension
For those unfamiliar, compared to Whis/Black, they propose a compressed resort, with less than half the vertical. A very high base Village (1130 m), about the same as the Garbanzo/Gondola (Olympic) mid-station on Whis (and Excellerator chair base on Blackcomb). The top lift would be only about 1865m, same as Roundhouse (or Rendevouz/Crystal top).
So that means road challenges during cold storm cycles, and terrain limitations during warm storms & rising freeze levels. And then there's the famous winds.

Whistler 2019 - 2020
First experience with WB last week; Got to do everything on the bucket list and then some. Forgot to check out the cave - my legs were WORKED. Spanks was great with no lines on Monday - wanted to try to get over there Thursday after the 18cm but we got sucked in to peak express laps. Have to say, Flute wasn’t on my radar but was a fricken blast - no people - no tracks - just tiny ant people below and our choice of lines. Two thumbs.

In the afternoon Whistler bowl/surprise/headwall /etc was chalky with a bit of good snow here and there. Icy in spots too though and debris all over. Sounds like blackcomb slack country was the place to be!

I pretty much struck out Sunday....not living less than 5 minutes from creekside anymore does not have its perks, ski wise anyway.

Went up the Harmony chair with a local after taking a lap off the high side of Boomer Bowl (remember, first timer here). We had seen the runout and carried a bunch of speed to the right-ish side of trees and then threw the e-brakes on at the "CLIFF" sign. Proceeded down the fun little chutes that were on display above the corral. Those chutes aren't named on the trail map so I asked if he knew what they were called. With his German accent, I thought he was calling them "Vet Dream."
"What?"
"WET DREAMS"
Lol. Yeah, not going on the map.

H4/H5 -> traverse -> Boomer -> Wet Dreams... the classic Harmony pow day first lap. Could go for one of those right about now.
