Day 15 - Blackcomb's where it's at!

Irish and I were awake at 7am but we didn't get to the Roundhouse until 11am.  It was raining in the Village but 17cm fell overnight.  Since Blackcomb was so great yesterday, we decided to head over there straight away.

First run was down to Jersey Chair as we wanted to hit some trees off 7th Heaven Ave.  Again, the traverse out there was kind of a pain but the rewards at the end were so amazing.  We both launched off the cat track into untouched knee deep pow.  Then down into two different sets of trees.  The snow was super light and fluffy.  We eventually made our way back over to the area again but not before hitting the snow all along the terrain park, the trees along the side of the park, Bark Sandwich, and the Castle Run.

When we returned to Whistler, we were surprised at how heavier and chunkier the snow was on that mountain compared to Blackcomb.  We definitely made the right decision going over there for the day.

It snowed all day and the freezing level is below Red Chair.  We've received 40cm in 24 hours and two feet in the last two days.  Forecast is calling for another front to hit us at the beginning of the work week.  The base right now is 152cm or 60in.
