I don’t trust any of the forecasts. Whistler Blackcomb has the freezing level sitting at approx 800 metres for the next 5 days. That’s fine, all the good stuff is up top. Time to worry if it goes up to 1500m.

I have no idea. I’m guessing it’s really hard to find out. So many boards out there and I’m sure countless stoked boards aren’t reported. And even if they are, there’s no way the board’s barcode number would be reported. I guess it just comes down to whether you trust the person selling it. If you think they’re dodgy, go with your instinct.

It definitely went to 1500m on Saturday night.. snow was horrible yesterday at work so I took today off from riding to give the body a break and to say goodbye to Rhi when she left.

Sorry for the lack of updates in here lately.. australia day/week was a bit of a bender with lots of pitchers and tonnes of powder laps hahaha

Rider’s Blog: Day 27

Had a late start today and a super late finish. It was a beautiful bluebird day up there. Caught up with the crew at Harmony and we headed over to the Saddle to bomb a run. We cruised to Red, then to Green, then did a couple of park laps (although I was mainly just checking out the new features). Somewhere in there, we did a run down to Creekside, as they have been making snow all the way to the bottom for the last two days non-stop. The cover is really nice down there and there are some fun rollers along the way.

Finney and I did a couple of really fast late laps till last chair. I really wanted to be the last person on the mountain, so I went inside to the Roundhouse to warm up (and play Mario Cart on Nintendo DS - I won the Grand Prix BTW haha).

I rode down to Red really late in the afternoon. The cats had already started grooming so I had a fresh corduroy run down to Red, with not one person on the mountain. I chilled at Red for a bit talking to one of the patrollers. I grabbed some photos as the sun was going down over the mountains. The run down to Creekside was sick; heaps of man-made snow had built up in areas, and I had more freshly groomed snow all the way to the house. A very surreal and fun way to end the day.

Hey! sorry slow to add my 5 cents worth. but here it is:
SICK TIME IN WHISTLER! whoooop. it was was so great to be back there and mix it with all you guys. Another HUGE thanks to Finney Blake Marc and Meghann for letting us crash on the couch! Great to ride with Jeremy, Michelle, Chantelleie and the rest of the crew. Thanks for making Alysha’s Bday a spesh time as well she loved it! Cant wait to possibly move out to Vancouver in a few years! PUMPED. and Nice photos Jeremy!
miss you all, and that pow pow. stay safe and see you all when you get home!
