Warm and Wet! The coast of BC has been hit with a warm wet front which has taken the chill out of the air. The freezing level has been around 1500m with wet snow above. The snow base has compacted to 125cm with only 11cm in the last 48hrs. We still have one of the best snow bases on the planet thanks to an amazing November however Whistler and Blackcomb mountains are usually spoiled with excess snow. Most locals don’t even own a pair of race sharpened ski ready for hard pack conditions, we would rather wait 24hrs until the next storm cycle hits. The forecast looks like the temperatures will drop and a weak front will move over bringing a few centimeters on Monday but by Thursday a stronger system will arrive to restock the hill with snow. I would recommend a mid fat ski with more side cut in these conditions, maybe a Rossignol Experience 88. The wind has been moving the 2-3cms of snow into some secret spots whilst scraping it from elsewhere. The Christmas Trees area seems to always have pockets of powder even days after a storm; you just need to know how to get there.
