Snow overview for Canada
3cm of fresh snow fell at Whistler (119cm) on Wednesday 22nd May. The snow fell above about 1600m so the majority of the open area received the fresh snow. This is the last weekend of the winter season at Whistler. 27th May is the final day but at the end of June the Horstman Glacier opens for the short summer ski season until the end of July.
17cm of fresh snow fell at Timberline (292cm) on Wednesday 22nd June, in the biggest snowfall this month so far. The unseasonably cold weather replaces the unseasonably warm weather they had a few weeks ago and had provided a fantastic boost to conditions on the open ski and snowboard areas.
Your reviews
Just back from Christmas 2012 & New Year, and reading Dan's reports, wished I'd stayed out there. To be fair, even on an 'avge' week Whistler is still good - after 10 days of no snow, a few pistes were starting to get that icy edge that would be recognisable in Europe after a few days of no snow... but seriously, 10 days without snow! and now, they've just had 45cm in 24 hours. There's no justice.
You _can_ find fresh snow though, you just have to hike for it. Geoff organised 2 trips with local guides to go ski-touring (skins and Dynafit bindings), which we thoroughly enjoyed, although the 2nd guide took our claims of 'weve done this before' a bit too seriously - 30 mins hiking isn't too bad, but 70 minutes is a LOT tougher. Still, the more up, the more down.... just remember, if you already ski on 'all mountain' skis, you probably don't need to upgrade as if you're coming from piste ski's....
Prices in Whistler are eye-watering, mainly due to the exchange rate. Beers run to $6Cdn in the pubs, but basic wines can be $18 (4 and 12GBP respectively), plus taxes - we found it hard to spend less than £50 a head eating out, and frequently more. (NYE was a real blowout - BearFoot bistro is nice, but used to hosting wealthy locals..... cheapest wine on the night was over £100 a bottle!)
Listel hotel is in a great location, cheap, but noisy internally (no noise from outside). Buffet breakfast good value (i.e. included), saves time and dough.
Lift lines were only really busy on NYD and the middle weekend, and were tailing off when we left.
If you want a splurge, Powder Mountain Cat skiing is a good 'poor mans heliski', we got 8 runs in a day for our $550Cdn....
Apre ski is VERY quiet compared to Europe - odd, as lifts close by 3.30.
I'd go back, but for just 2 people, I'm inclined to try some of the smaller resorts, ones that are more 'fresh' snow sure - Wh. may have the depth, but the frequency is not as reliable as the adverts make out.
