Spring has sprung

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

It certainly feels like spring in the air, the snow is still really good at the top of the hill, but the village snow is starting to disappear.  However from the amount of snow we have had down to the village it looks like it might take a couple of months to fully disappear. If […]

Friday, February 1st, 2008

In an effort to get into the Olympic spirit Ben performed an Olympic triathlon (of sorts) yesterday.

Charge of the Goddess

Friday, January 25th, 2008

Women's Week is now called "Charge of the Goddess".  There are camps and programs designed to get the ladies out on the slopes and having fun.  After a day on the hill they will be heading out into the Village for a true girls' night of dining, dancing and laughing until it hurts.  For the […]

March

Friday, January 25th, 2008

The spring skiing in March should be off the chart with the great snow base on Whistler this year.  There are still lots of whistler accommodation options available throughout the remainder of the season.  Yesterday Dylan and I (Matt) skied from the top of the Horstman hut on Blackcomb to the village in a 12 […]

Sun, sand and snow.

Saturday, January 19th, 2008

Now I bet your are wondering how the above topics are related…. Well last week I was in Costa Rica and as per usual when I go away, Whistler gets hit with tons of snow. I came back to a winter wonderland that's for sure.  However I didn't return empty handed as we have had […]

Snow, snow and well….more snow!

Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

Well, it appears as though the weather forecasters were correct when they predicted that Whistler would receive higher than normal snowfall for the 07/08 season. The past week alone has brought over 4.5 feet of new snow to Whistler and with over 18 feet of snowfall this year all ready, it would appear that this […]
