Podcast by The Whistler Pulse
Well... What a rockslide on Whistler Peak eh? Naturally: Peak Chair and Peak will be closed until further notice. Lot 7 continues to be closed also with the Experts Only John Summit Weekend there this weekend. It is also the start of Spring Break so expect town (and limited parking) to be super dooper busy. It warms up next week, so let's make the most of this under reported snow. Lower angle is nice - look out for hidden debris and firm dust on crust conditions persisting in wind effected areas. Did you hear this week's Coast Mountain Brewing Secret Code word? Be the first to message me when you heard it to win a $20 Gift Card for CMB!!
Another 2cm sleeper day today ;) Get up there Team: yesterday was under reported in the Alpine and super fun. See ya up there ^_^
Just 2cm overnight eh? I hear Avi Bombs this morning however and high winds last night would've created deeper pockets - let's go storm skiing ;)
Another 3cm of dust on crust fell last night but don't worry: March madness kicks off with 10cm+ of fresh snow today and more overnight and especially tomorrow through Thursday - and it will be great quality cold smoke too! Let's make the most of it: it really warms up next week! ^_^
The first of this week's freshies fell last night with a seemingly under reported 3cm but look out: it will be dust on rain freeze crust! Play cautiously and enjoy some smooth groomers is my advice ;)
3cm of dust on crust today but there were still great, soft pockets and chalky, grippy snow 'up-top' yesterday - so get creative ;) There are more CMs in the forecast but light amounts this weekend, followed by a lowering freezing level to valley bottom by Monday morning and confidence in next week's accumulations to still solidify but here' hoping for some March Madness! Ha. It's International Women's Day on Sunday (which is also when the clocks change permanently)! Hopin' to see ya at the Coast Mountain Brewing Taphouse to celebrate on Sunday between 2 and 5pm ^_^ Bon weekend!
What a morning yesterday was eh? Wow. Thanks for sharing some turns Eric! ^_^ Hopin' you got yours and that you saved some energy for some more pow hunting up there today! Happy Thursday! ^_^
We have a high freezing level storm day on our hands Folks (1700m this morning with 70kmh+ winds in the high alpine) but hopefully it lowers to 1200m. Happy Tuesday ^_^
Here's hopin' you had a terrific weekend too
Well... This wind storm brought only that at the snow stake: wind. There should be freshies up top and definitely in wind-loaded leeward terrain. sunshine is inbound tomorrow for the weekend with a rising freezing level on Sunday! Bon weekend ^_^
Woah! 157kmh winds at 7th Heaven? Sheesh! Don't be expecting the majority of the Alpine to open today - maybe Glacier Express, or the Whistler T-bars. No fresh snow overnight but hopefully some storm snow compiles mid-mountain today. Happy hunting!
I really hope you got some epic wiggles on the Hill again yesterday
Well... Despite the hectic lines, I hope you got a few runs to write home about yesterday too! More await today on Whistler, with the Alpine not opening yesterday! Get after it but ride safely with friends
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.
