another 100cm has fallen since my first post a week ago. amazingly, most of this snow has made it to the valley. my deck has a good 50cm on it right now, which reminds me i should probably think about shoveling...
so for today's adventure i decided to skin up to the peak and check out the alpine conditions. the worst kept secret in town is that the peak chair will be opening friday with harmony to open on saturday. i wanted to get a few turns in before whistler bowl becomes a mogul minefield for the next 6 months.
it was fantastic! great coverage in general. have to keep your eyes open for unusually large lumps in the snow, but otherwise, great conditions. i rode mainly untracked powder down whistler bowl, then traversed over to west bowl, more untracked powder, then down peak to creek which again was as fluffy as it gets. coverage was great all the way to kadenwood. they could groom and open peak to creek now, but they won't. still, i've ridden it in WAY worse conditions mid season.
should be mayhem this weekend. have fun!
