Snowfall in Vancouver: Time to hit the slopes!
Dec
2007
It's snowing! Can't wait until I can strap on my boots and head for the hills. All this fresh pow-pow is making me jittery.
Last year was pretty dead for me since I was stuck in school all year. I'm planning on heading up to Whistler for the holidays to spend some time with my girlfriend and some friends. If you ever need a ride up to Whistler or Blackcomb, check out snowbus.ca. They offer one-way and return tickets to and from Whistler. Prices range from $23.96 one-way, and $42.92 for a return trip. They also offer membership pricing which comes with a couple of nice perks.
Another great discount that I signed up for this year was an EDGE card. You can get killer discounts on lift tickets if you sign-up early enough. If you plan on going up regularily, you should definately check it out.
I've checked the local mountains and here's the run down:
| Mountain | Base (CM) |
In the Last 24 Hours |
| Whistler/Blackcomb | 110 cm | 24 cm (and counting) |
| Cypress Mountain | 83 cm | 13 cm |
| Grouse Mountain | 107 cm | 12 cm |
| Seymour Mountain | 78 cm | 13 cm |
| Big White | 64 cm | 4 cm |
| Silverstar | 85 cm | 3 cm |
| Sun Peaks | 85 cm | 3.1 cm |
