37cm? Pack your snorkel; your friends; and snacks - there will be a lot of waiting today ;) See ya up there! ^_^
It's still mighty Baltic with the northerly outflow chilling the hills and in the valley: layer up
Another 3cm overnight to compile above some super soft areas - powder hunting is great right now - and lift-lines were super reasonable yesterday! However: it's super dooper cold up there! Protect any exposed skin and layer up!! Brrrrrr
No fresh snow overnight but it is Coolio Englesias up there again today with an Alpine high of -9 forecast! And... Heavenly/Brownlie's Basin is groomed?!?! Happy Hump Day ^_^
5cm of dust on crust? OR another sleeper pow day? See you up there to find out ;)
What a weekend eh? Sure - it's super busy but pow hunting has been so glorious after such a drought!!! Definitely layer up these next few days: brrrrrr. And happy Family day! ^_^
5cm?? It will be more for sure: get up there!! LOTS happening this weekend, where to start? If you have tickets to tonight's sold out Red and White Party for Ski Patrol at the GLC, enjoy! Thanks for listening. Did you hear the Coast Mountain Brewing Secret Code word? Be the first to let me know when to win a CMB Gift Card! ^_^
What a glorious day yesterday was eh? I hope you got some sunny pow turns too ^_^ Keep your ears peeled for this week's Coast Mountain Brewing Code Word 'amplitude'. When you hear it, be the first to report at what time in the episode, via Instagram or email, to win a Coast Mountain Brewing Gift Card!
The stoke is back Baby! Yesterday's high alpine pow (even Fraggle Rock was a go) has me stoked for winter again and I hope today's bluebird conditions fill your cup too! ^_^ Happy Hump Day
13cm?!? Lesssss go. See you up there and happy Tuesday! ^_^
Ha - what a mixed bag this weekend was eh? But I really hope you got a bluebird powder fix yesterday too. We're due more snow (small amounts) to compile atop Saturday's dump this week - huzzah - and with cooler temperatures than we've had (which isn't difficult). It's a start! Happy Monday!
Today the Olympics opens; Tomorrow we have snow incoming above 1400m (hopefully); and on Sunday, it's the Superbowl! Bon weekend! ^_^
Happy Thursday! ^_^ +8 in the Alpine today eh?!? See ya up there for some slushy laps (wear sunscreen)... but I'm gonna wait a little... yesterday morning was straight up crispy/toe tingling on the tin roof corduroy with giant cookies interspersed in some rutted grooming >_
Temperatures stayed above freezing last night; which should make for some buttery groomers first thing?! Winds are high in the Alpine today as another ridge of high pressure moves in bringing clear skies until the weekend. Keep your eyes peeled on Instagram for a Coast Mt Brewing Gift Card Treasure Hunt today ^_^
0 degrees at the Roundhouse; +1.5 at the Rendezvous and the Catskinner chair is closed today and tomorrow eh? Woof. Spring conditions continue up top with sunshine arriving tomorrow! Keep your eyes posted on Instagram for a Coast Mountain Brewing Gift Card Treasure Hunt! ^_^
Merh. 4cm and a freezing level at 1600m? There's a few more CMs due to fall today but it ain't anything to write home about if you ask me, ha. Be careful in higher elevation terrain in low visibility: lurking debris is a major hazard in the alpine and conditions change rapidly given the high (and rising this week) freezing levels. Sunny Spring skiing is incoming midweek with a sky-high freezing level punching to well above 3000m. Pack sunscreen! ;)
High winds today are going to keep the alpine closed; but spring skiing conditions at lower elevations yesterday were enjoyable if you ask me! Did you hear this week's Coast Mountain Brewing Code word - Sun? Message me when you heard it to win a Coast Mt Brewing Gift Card!!
7cm of sleeper pow but with a freezing level of 1700m and high alpine winds, means there's a narrow banded sweet spot today, ha!
4cm of new snow!!! That's the first snowfall in a few weeks: huzzah! It will however, be dust on crust. We have a bulletproof melt-freeze crust underneath it. Take 'er easy and I don't recommend venturing off piste until there's a lot more snow. Happy Wednesday ^_^
Cloudy skies today and a dusting expected tonight. Question... how would you feel about the Podcast episodes dropping an hour later? Or maybe three episodes a week instead of 5? Your Girl needs some more sleep - especially when there's no Pow! Please reach out to me on Instagram or via email with your thoughts!
Hopin' you had a good weekend. Feeling the weight of the world too? The WCSS Nightwalk is on Thursday
Brrrrr. -9 at the Peaks this morning with a northerly wind direction and it's bluebird! Expect high pressure conditions but milder temps to persist through the weekend and early next week.
Happy Thursday! This high pressure is due to stick around for some time: have you given your gear a good tune? ;)
Spring conditions continue... Are you heading up the hill for some social skiing with sharp edges? Or enjoying some downtime off the Mountains? Either way, Happy Wednesday! ^_^
Conditions will be firmer today with on-mountain temperatures finally getting below freezing in spots but inverted temps still persist in others. No snow expected until at least January 28th at this point - enjoy the sunshine! ^_^
Another Groundhog day for Mayuary Spring Skiing today with slightly cooling temps forecast for the week and hopefully, a pattern shift on Sunday and a return of some precip. Until then, wear sunscreen and look out for some icy, high traffic areas where it's hard to get your edges in (the traverse to Peak chair from the roundhouse and other bottleneck areas). Happy Monday! ^_^
It will be firm this morning with some cooling overnight, so expect Spring riding conditions through 'til at least Wednesday: it will be a perpetual search for the groomer sweet spot on the hill. Sunscreen comes highly recommended! Thanks for your understanding on taking a break from the Podcast tomorrow on my Birthday ;) See ya on the Hill! ^_^
We've got sunshine laying up today and due to stay through the weekend in a big way; inverted temperatures with +7 degrees recorded in spots on the mountain this morning; but there will be some low lying valley cloud again this morning. The alpine didn't open yesterday but spring corn and slush should be expected on groomers, which is where you'll want to ski ;)
If you braved yesterday for confirmation on what 9 cementimetres looks and feels like, bravo! The biblical amount of rain from this Pineapple Express appears to have ended and we'll have sunny breaks. and very warm on mountain temps (+4 degrees) today; with more sunshine on Thursday onwards. Stay safe on Spring-like groomers today ^_^
Wasn't Saturday awesome in the treeline? It won't be today with the freezing level having shot up to 1900m. There's a rainfall warning for Howe Sound with upwards of 150mm forecast in the next 24 hours; teh Duffey Lake Road is closed today too; and dangerously heavy snow conditions will exist at all elevations. Stay safe and dry Folks! ^_^
Tokum is groomed for the first time today! Just 3cm overnight by the look of the snow ruler with more snow to fall tomorrow and in particular on Sunday but with an increasing freezing level to be wary of/plan for! Did you hear this week's code word to win a 4 pack of delicious Coast Mountain Beers?? Bon weekend! ^_^
Mornin'! Just 3cm recorded after operating hours yesterday but moderate wind speeds from the southwest will have created some deeper drifts in leeward zones. See ya up there!
Just 7cm recorded overnight and 15cm in the last 24 hours but it felt deeper than that on the hill yesterday. With such strong SW winds (100kmh at times) and teh alpine being closed yesterday, north facing features will have loaded nicely today but be cautious of wind slabs even in bounds. Happy Pow hunting today!
Only a couple of CMs fell overnight despite snowflakes falling early yesterday evening. Today snowfall will be heavy: with 15cm forecast for the valley and wind speeds already upwards of 115kmh in the high alpine!!! Today's alpine (1800m) high of -6 will add to a very wintery experience indeed ;)
Here's hopin' you had a great weekend! The temperatures really dropped overnight and we have snow in the forecast tonight and through the week, with a freezing level at valley bottom through the week before it rises on the weekend. Let's get after it but be super cautious for out of bounds travel, given the fluctuating temperatures and heavy snow we've had overlying some surface hoar and a melt freeze cycle! ^_^
Happy New Year!! After a warm week, we have some new snow arriving tonight through the weekend. It will be compiling above a firm melt freeze crust on south facing slopes however: dust on crust - until there is enough to not feel the firm bottom. Let's hope there's enough to reset the firm conditions before next week's cooler temps and fewer forecast accumulations.
Happy NYE!! Wishing you all a fantastic start to 2026. Life can be an absolute rollercoaster but I hope you're grateful for the wonderful parts of the ride, as well as the lessons from the hard bits - I know I am
As forecasted: there's a temperature inversion today with temperatures of above 2 Degrees at 1800m. It's a sunny groomer day ; Crabapple was groomed overnight; and QR credit card fraud occurred in a few Whistler Parking Lots on Dec 27th - check your statements!
Hopin' you had a terrific weekend and stayed warm on Saturday! Brrrr. You won't need to layer up tomorrow when the freezing level shoots up to above the Peaks though! Sheesh.
13cm?? It looks more like 20cm on the snow ruler this morning and will be deeper in leeward terrain! Glacier Chair cracked yesterday; the Alpine was wind pressed and catchy yesterday; Blackcomb ski-out to Base 2 is open; and today will be stormy with another 10cm expected throughout the day. Happy Boxing Day ^_^
Merry Christmas! Whether you're enjoying the great snow; or working your ass off this holiday period - and/or anything in between - I hope you find time for yourself and others this Festive period! ^_^ I'll hope to see ya on the Hill tomorrow - no Christmas Day episode - but I will be back to chat to ya on Friday Morning.
Crystal Chair was so sweet yesterday! Yes: the line ups are big - so I highly recommend skiing in good company ;) The ski out isn't officially open yet but some are braving their rock skis, rather than downloading. Take it easy though! It's a tiring time of year, let alone with all the Pow we're shredding on early season legs. It's okay to miss a day and we should be regularly investing in our bodies with some stretching and naps! Ha.
Hopin' you had a great weekend riding freshies! Yes: it's busy and to be expected with no ski out and alpine lifts closed due to gnarly winds. Expect stormy conditions today too and enjoy the lift line chats! ^_^ Happy Holidays! ;)
5cm overnight but roughly 20cm in the past 24hrs with more in wind loaded north westerly/easterly facing features and more snow on the way this weekend. The Alpine didn't open yesterday... See ya up there! ^_^
Yesterday was fun if you ask me: early season, leg-conditioning pow and beautiful skies. Yes, the lines were the longest I've ever been in at 7th Heaven but as long as you're in good company and layered well - it's a great place to be and the more snow we get at lower elevations this week, the more terrain will open up to alleviate the queues. Science. And Maths. Today will be stormy and tomorrow morning will be hella busy - it's the holidays. Plan and temper your expectations accordingly ;)
Thank you so much again to everyone who made it out to the Pulse's 5th Anniversary Party at Coast Mountain Brewing!
