Early April powder at Whistler

The forecast was a bit ominous for this weekend. Precip and freezing levels of 1800m aren’t always the best recipe for a Whistler weekend.

Luckily the freezing levels were barely above gondola mid-stations, and the weather came and went periodically, one minute dumpage, the next blue skies. This meant we could even get in the Alpine with visibility if you timed things well.

Saturday afternoon got a bit wild. It made for a fine Sunday though, with 23cm of freshies up high. Overall, a very fine visit indeed. Some pics here as proof 🙂
