Just a bit too much snow to climb up to Highside. All good in woods at that level though.

Debate? Bikes are made for riding not pushing.

I did Kill Me Thrill Me and North of Town today. It was mostly clear in the trees with some snow when out in the open. Very greasy conditions. The woodwork on the climbs on North of Town wasn't happening.

There was a tree down on Kill Me Thrill Me about 1/3 of the way along, just after the first rock roll with the double black option sign. I posted on Trailforks (do Whistler trail folks look at Trailforks updates?).

15 cm forecast for the current storm. Some might melt over the next week or so but I'd say the season is done. But you never know.

Thinking (hoping) everything will melt out on tuesday. Even if its just lost lake. Anything is better than nothing, at least until blackcomb opens

Heavy flow had about six inches on it two days ago. I think it's over!

Had a good 15 in the driveway. Had to fire up the Big Husky to blow the snow off the driveway. Suppose to turn to rain tonight. We're done in the valley I think.

I'm ready for snow, but snow doesnt appear to be ready for me yet!
Just did a lost lake loop, only 1 ladder that i had to dismount. Bunch of trees down though. One on peaches, one on dinah, one by the big rock slab at the top before you descend down to the frisbee course, one at the very low point of pinocchios. I think thats it. Not too wet either.

Lots of ice on Lost lake. always seems to be in blind corners. Tried to smash up as many frozen puddles as i could. Lots of the big rocks have ice on them too, so be alert
