We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.

We did our annual family trip west to Whistler this year. Had a total of 5 days in Whistler. First 2 days were bluebird - incredible views on those days. Next three were more like weather Whistler is known for - some bad visibility and some good. No rain and temps were mid-high 20s. Didn't get any major dumps while we were there but did snow some those last three days to dress it up some. Since Whistler had already recevied over 17 feet on the season, it wasn't a problem. It was a family trip keep that in mind for the pics. Got a lot of helment cam video but don't have time now to go through it. Off to the pics...

End of Whistler Fire and Ice Show. It was a good show but this has only about 10 seconds of ski and rest is fire works.

awesome, controlling jealously w/ effort. If they have 17 feet could they give at least 2 to CO?

That is the place to be again this year. Their daily FB updates are nothing but drool worthy. Hoping I can make it back sooner rather than later.

I think they are up to 21-22 feet now.



I am heading there in a couple weeks, so I am stalking their weather report.
