Triple Digit Snowfall at Whistler Blackcomb
Рет қаралды 58,990
Күн бұрынA few days after skiing the mega weekend storm we had another 30cm + pow dump at Whistler Blackcomb bringing the 4 day snowfall total to 103cm. You know it's a good day when the pow-stache makes an appearance. The alpine was wind blown but the tree skiing was magic. I’m feeling super stoked that we’re building an actual base and the mid-mountain trees on both the Whistler and Blackcomb sides are becoming somewhat skiable.

Hi mate! Coming over from Australia to ski in early Feb. What time should I be getting up to line up for the whistler village gondola early Feb weekdays?
@riseandalpine 5 ай бұрын
Totally depends on the amount of snow. If there's like 30+ some people are crazy and get in line before 6. I usually aim for like 7:30 but there will be a lot of people in front of me. The great thing is that on Powder days the alpine doesn't ever open until 10am or later so everyone gets a shot at fresh up top. If there is no powder, there are no lines on weekdays.
