The Whistler Pulse Podcast

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!

Well... did ya try to Ride the Hill yesterday? Both Hills closing operations happens once in a Blue Moon eh? And how about those 2pm Valley Winds? Sheesh! The Whistler Pulse only turns 5 once: we hope to see you at the Coast Mountain Brewing Taphouse TODAY at 4pm to celebrate 5 years of the Podcast: with an incredible Raffle to Fundraise for Whistler Community Services Society! Raffle Tickets are just $20. In Today's Local Lounge: the one and only Kevin Winter dives into CMB's operations; it's roots; and what's new and upcoming!

Ho boy... 155kmh gusts; 0 degrees at 2200m; and 70-150mm of rain forecast at lower elevations on the Sea to Sky and in Howe Sound. Build an arc rather than Ski today is my advice! ;) TOMORROW: Kevin and Angie from Coast Mountain Brewing will be appearing in the Podcast's Local Lounge . Be at the CMB Taphouse tomorrow's for the Pulse's 5th Anniversary Party - from 4pm! Come prepared with a Joke, and with cash for a Fundraising Raffle for WCSS with incredible prizes from: Pit Viper; Hy's Steakhouse; Nagomi Sushi; Bred; RMU; Stay Wyld Organics; and Gogglesoc!!!!

7th opened yesterday; Peak did not; and Vail announced it's intention to replace the Showcase T-bar with a Quad next season! Bon weekend! ^_^

Cooler temps, light winds and a break in precipitation means a clearer day today and here's hoping Peak cracks! Happy Thursday ^_^

11cm? You'd be forgiven for getting excited but with the freezing level at 1800m this morning: be prepared for elephant snot; pineapple express schmoo; glue; whatever you want to call it - it ain't champagne pow up there today ;) Expect wet conditions on the hill and especially in the valley and on the Sea to Sky today with 50-70mm of rain predicted to fall by Midnight.

Woof - that freezing level really rose yesterday and those wind speeds in the Alpine?! Sheesh! Today will be a calmer and brighter day with only 7cm forecast to fall after operating hours today.

Sheesh - that download queue on Whistler was something yesterday eh? Oooof. It's suuuuuper stormy up there today (120kmh gust from the south at the Horstman Hut) and it will really dump after operating hours. The freezing level is due to be high today and tomorrow (1800m), so expect heavy snow up top and roughly 50mm of rain in the valley! Happy Monday! ^_^

Ohhhhhhh yeah: snow is on the way! We have mixed models on just how much - with some early forecasts anticipating a metre by Wednesday!? Here's obviously hopin'! Let's see what transpires but there is definitely snow accumulating today and in particular on Sunday through to Weds AM!

Oooooh: 4cm! And the Alpine is rumoured to be opening soon ;) There are more centimetres on the way this weekend and especially on Monday and Tuesday! Huzzah Also on the way... Is the Whistler Pulse's 5th Anniversary Party at Coast Mountain Brewing on December 16th at 4pm!!! There will be an awesome raffle to fundraise for WCSS and an opportunity for you to have your voice shared on the Podcast. I really hope to see you there! Happy Thursday!

There's a dusting this morning on the Storm board and 2 new runs open on Whistler Mt (Banana Peel and Papoose) ; with excitement building about some imminent snow in the Forecast! Eeeeeep ^_^ The 25th Whistler Film Festival kicks off today; there are two opportunities to attend S2S Bear update Seminars at the library; and lock your gear up at every opportunity.

Today's sunshine is a prelude to some incoming low pressure weather we all hope will bring some fresh accumulations

Happy Monday Team! ^_^ Creekside Gondi and Red are now spinning. Huzzah! See ya up there for some early season conditioning and risk averse mellow laps ;)

Happy Friday Folks! Building high pressure today is going to secure us some bright skies this weekend

Happy American Thanksgiving and hooray for Franz's and Emerald/Green chair spinning on Whistler now ^_^

Nov 26th - The Whistler Pulse - Wednesday by The Whistler Pulse

How good was yesterday's unexpected constant flurry of soft snowflakes? Beautiful! Unfortunately the forecast is a little bleak for the next 10 days but the good news is that cold temperatures are going to allow our snowmaking Team the opportunity to compile some snow in key areas! Still just two runs open with no word on an opening date for Whistler just yet ^_^

How good was yesterday's unexpected constant flurry of soft snowflakes? Beautiful! Unfortunately the forecast is a little bleak for the next 10 days but the good news is that cold temperatures are going to allow our snowmaking Team the opportunity to compile some snow in key areas! I know - I'm an optimist ;) Still just two runs open with no word on an opening date for Whistler just yet ^_^

I hoped - like many - to hear Fred Again play last night but missed Skrillex playing at the Dubhlin Gate instead - whhhhhat!!?! Easy out is now open with Catskinner spinning and many Folks got the goods on 7th yesterday. Happy Monday

OPENING DAY!!!! Well... One run on Blackcomb Mountain! Thankfully there's snow (20cm+ hopefully) forecast this weekend to compile atop the 62cm base!! Ride safely Folks ;) Bon weekend!

Eeeeeeep - opening day of Blackcomb Mt is this Friday!!!! Sure - terrain will be super limited but what's your perspective: is it a great opportunity to socialize and celebrate the start of the winter by slowly building some stamina? Or were you expecting 7th to open so you can get a front-side and backside pow run? ;) First Winter episode dropping this Friday! ^_^

One week until opening day! Eeeeep. That's one week until the first Hairfarmers aprés of the year at Merlins! Parking reservations (free) come into effect this year at Creekside and Lots 6-8 on weekends and holiday Mondays; prepare for more rain this weekend; and share your voice by submitting your survey answers to Pique Newsmagazine's Best of Whistler Survey by end of day Sunday!

Apologies for the slow season sleep ins ;) I for one am stoked to see the snow line and mountains this morning and I hope you're enjoying some downtime before opening day: T-minus 10 days Team!

Happy Friday Team!! Hopin' you have an incredible weekend and enjoy the sunshine before Sunday eve's precip arrives (with a high freezing level to boot). I cannot thank Jeremy Peterson enough for his invaluable support these past 5 years as the Title Sponsor of the Podcast - THANK YOU STINKY!

Happy All Hallows Eve! How about that first snowfall in the Valley for the Season eh?? Halloween this year is gonna be damp, prepare yourselves

Ho Boy - There's a lot to report after last week's episode. Happy upcoming All Hallows Eve! ^_^

My apologies for missing Friday's episode!

I really hope you had a terrific Thanksgiving too

Happy Thanksgiving Weekend! ^_^ Sure, it's gonna rain (and snow in the alpine); but I hope you're able to spend quality time with the special people in your life this weekend too

What a stunning couple of days eh? The weather is indeed going to change today: rain anticipated starting this evening. Enjoy your last week of the Bike Park ^_^

After a rainy week, sunshine and warmer daytime temps will be very welcome! Overnight lows could reach 1 degree overnight into dawn on Saturday! sheesh. Bon weekend! ^_^

Oh yeah... it's Fall alright. If that fresh dusting of Alpine snow; or the gushing rivers still hasn't got you convinced that Winter is on the way - maybe the upcoming IF3; Ski and Snowboard Movie premieres; The Raven Room's Halloween Pop-up; or WB's upcoming open house about this Season's operations will. Happy Tuesday ^_^

The rain was bound to arrive at some point and today/tonight it is! Bon weekend ^_^

Ooops - sorry for the wrong episode upload this morning :/ Beautiful Fall weather is forecast for the next few days with a wetter, cooler weekend predicted. Happy Tuesday ^_^

WB sightseeing ceases operation for the Summer after this weekend; Rain and cooler temps arrive tomorrow; and shoulder season specials abound! Bon weekend ^_^

Today will be a scorching 27 degrees - woah!!!! See you out there in the sunshine! ^_^

Coast Mountain Brewing celebrate 9 awesome years 3-7pm today with Brother Twang rockin' a Tragically Hip tribute set

The welcome rain dampened fires, improved air quality and trail riding; Stinky passes the torch; Coast Mt celebrate 9 years this Friday; and sightseeing as we know it closes September 21st for the season. Happy Tuesday ^_^

Wildfire smoke; The Gran Fondo; The NFL season kicks off; Coyotes and Air-cooler phase outs. Happy to be home Whistler ^_^

How was your Crankworx? Hopin' you had a terrific week. Summer ain't over yet: the Summer Concert series returns on Thursday; so does sunny warm weather; Joffre Lakes trail closes on August 22nd until October 23rd; and you owe it to yourself to get outside

Joyride has moved to Sunday; Coyotes are causing concern; the Rock Jump (version 3.0) has been removed; Free Buddy passes with Epic Passes have been replaced with more 50% off passes; and it's raining - which is effecting the tap water in Creekside this morning, don't drink it! Bon Weekend ^_^

The 20th addition of Crankworx is well underway and there are more events than you can shake a stick at!

Surprise! There's an episode today after all ;) Crankworx; The 14th Annual Flag Stop Theatre & Arts Festival; Toadlets; and much more! Bon weekend
