this is really turning out to be the winter that never happened. definitely our worse january since the pineapple of '05, and while we've had slightly more snow than that year, we're nowhere close to the averages of the past 3 seasons. the only positive spin i can see here is that even in the terrible '05 season we got a record dump in april, so there is still hope...just not anytime in the next 5 days.
i've been told blackomb is currently a sheet of ice. whistler is probably in slightly better shape due to less southern exposure.
today is the last day of warm temps then we plunge back into a deep freeze. whoopee.

Hey Mark
Just wanted to thank you for your blog. I find it way more satisfying than reading the regular snow reports on the whistler-blackcomb site. Please keep it up
thanks! sorry my posts have been so sparse this season. unfortunately it's due largely to the fact that there has been very little to report by way of snow. i've also been spending a lot of my time building a house which is keeping me off the slopes. but i'll do what i can, especially when snow is on the way.
