Day 17 - Finally made it to Blackcomb

Another cold one:  -14°C in the Village first thing in the morning.  No new snow overnight and awesome sun all day.  A bit of an inversion as it was slightly warmer at higher elevations than it was in the Village.  I was assigned to Level 4's and only had two boys.  We managed to get in a couple of runs before lunch.  Most of the groomer runs on Whistler were still soft packed.  After lunch we ran with Bea and the Level 5's over on Blackcomb.  Super soft snow on Cruzer but Wishbone was pretty icy.  So was Zig Zag and the run just above Solar Coaster.  Typical Blackcomb hard packed conditions on popular runs.  I hear there is still a lot of nice soft fresh snow to be found in the Alpine if you know where to look.
