pros and cons...looking like we've seen our last powder days of '08, but thankfully we have squamish and pemberton for early season biking.
had a two sport weekend with snowboarding on saturday and biking on sunday. snow conditions best described as sticky. so sticky in fact that it seemed like you would come to a complete stop on anything less than a 10 degree slope. still fun for goofing around though.
on saturday the temp was +6C in the alpine and 18C in the valley. getting a bit colder this week (it's actually snowing outside right now), but looks to be officially done. the past 3 seasons we've had at least one significant dump around mid-april, but unless it comes really late, it doesn't look like it's going to happen this year.
