Sorry about not updating much lately, I have become more involved with bike riding and rock climbing. Therefore my days on the hill have become nil - except for the odd day touring.
The sun has finally arrived, and most days now are hot and sunny, with the snow becoming very slushy by around midday. Fun spring skiing conditions. Only Blackcomb is open this spring due to construction on Whistler, which isn’t ideal, as Whistler is definetely the better mountain for Spring skiing. Still Blackcomb has plenty of terrain open - and has a decent terrain park for those of you who like jumps and rails. The only downside is some of the runs normally open are closed due to the road up the mountain being cleared to help with more construction…. You can always walk over these roads, and I recommend you do this, as some of those runs are still awesome (examples are Honeycomb, and top of Springboard but make sure you head skiers right to make it to Excelerator chair) .
Whistler is finally getting dry in the valley, so if are also into mountain biking then you should make plans to be here this summer, as biking goes off in Whistler. The Bike park opens May 17th, and although I rarely venture into the park ( I prefer cross country trail riding) I will probably give an occasional update on this site about the weather and bike park conditions throughout the season.
Have a good summer everyone.

Love the web site Greg. Cheers for the updates through the season and thanks for making everyone who could not be there jealous. And keep us informed of the conditions through summer and the progress of mountain works as well.
Cheers - Steve

Hi Steve, thanks for the words of encouragement. I will try and make updates once in a while for the summer. Hopefully these reports will be saying Sunny weather
The peak to peak gondola is supposed to be finished and ready to go this November, time will tell. The bike park is supposedly getting some improvements this year too, although that is being kept secret so far.
As I hear things, I will report it here.
Have a good summer.
Greg
