The Wonder Reels, S2: The Wait For Winter

As October’s rains finally give way to November’s storms, and the mountains reveal their first dustings of white, a palpable anticipation begins. Skiing and snowboarding’s faithful start a ritualistic foreplay that culminates in the un-matched celebration of another opening day.

Whistler Blackcomb Official Opening Day - November 28, 2013.

That’s awesome. It’s not often you get to see a black bear in such close proximity.

Have you picked up a “Bear Smart” pamphlet yet? wink

Had a blast last night with a few guys from the YES crew at the launch of Nation and Missions movies. Got to meet DCP and have a bit of a chat with him which was really awesome.

Also put money down on a YES Public 154 which should be really fun for this season on the snow.

Speaking of snow the snow makers have been busy little bees blowing for the last few days making a good effort on the higher slopes. On the natural side we are expecting snow from Thursday evening which is Halloween.

So it’s still a waiting game for me and many others in terms of working start dates and of course snow smile
