mar 4, 2009

24hr snow = 0
base depth = 185
cumulative = 598
freezing level = rising to 1200m
days riding = 15

five day forecast

day1 n 5-7 day2 n 0 day3 0 day4 5 day5 0

so that last system that blew through didn't really do what it was supposed to. the freezing levels stayed around 1700m while most of the precip came down as rain. we only got 10cm on the day they were forecasting up to 40, and once the freezing levels dropped we only got another 8cm. the high alpine is probably decent but as you come down the mountain it becomes more and more icy.

we're back to this year's trend which is sunny and no snow.

last year WB printed an ad in european magazines saying that whistler was global warming proof. guess that shit comes back to bite you on the ass, eh?
