five day forecast
day1 0 day2 w 2 day3 15-25 day4 5-10 day5 5-10

took a rare venture up on a sunday to find it quite busy as expected. even lesser flute was heavily tracked, although i managed to find some untouched snow at the far end of the ridge. low slope riding though, nothing too exciting.
pet peeve of the day: large groups of skiers who ski side by side taking up the entire width of the cat track. get out of the freakin way already!
alternate pet peeve of the day: on startup, firefox always asks if you want to start new session or restore previous session. where's the damn "use this answer every time" check box!?


snow coverage: A

Mark, if you exit Firefox via the File/Exit tab you shouldn't get the box next time you fire up Firefox. I only get the 'Restore' box if I close down the PC without first shutting down any open browsers.

BTW, I arrive in Whistler on 2nd March after 2 weeks touring the US and 10 nights in Big White from Presidents Weekend onwards.

I've been reading your blog here in Australia, found it thru a Google search for Whistler, so I hope you are heartened that somebody is actually reading it. :-)

Enjoy
