Another beautiful day with more of the same – Great groomer skiing and fair off-piste conditions. The grooming has really improved since the beginning of the season, perhaps they have a few new guys this year who took a while to ‘learn the ropes’.

No winds today, and perfect temperatures of around -5C. Although it looks like tomorrow might be a little windy again. It also looks like a bit of precipitation next week, lets hope it is snow and not rain :)

Not much more to say, so I will just add a video (which I took yesterday, but the gist is the same). This is the view of Whistler Village from the Peak 2 Peak gondola.

    That video is sweet. I’ve had to get off the mountain because, even though I tried, my knee is still messed up.

    I bought a new pair of Atomic carving skis super cheap at the reuseit center and I must admit, they’re totally great on the groomers, but when I run into pow, it’s a nightmare. They’re hard and heavy.

    Is the peak chair open?

    I didn’t ride the Peak today, but am pretty sure it was open ( I think they opened everything).
    Carving skis are a lot of fun in the right circumstances – mine are pretty good off piste as well.

    On Blackcomb, where it was really crap@y earlier on I presume, although with a low snow pack it always seems that Blackcomb has far more rocky terrain and is thus harder to groom.

    It has been excellent on Whistler all season ;-) The groomers there deserve a big, big vote of thanks!
