Whistler logged 39cm of fresh snow in 12 hours. Again, with the Pineapple Express, it was a wet snow and it rained from the top of Olympic Chair down. The kids and I loaded up Blackcomb first thing in the morning as we had a parent/child giant slalom race scheduled for 10:15am. Two parents rocked up to race their kids.
After the race, everyone was soaked so we booked down Blackcomb and up the Village gondola to the CLC so the kids could have a snack, a hot chocolate, and to dry off. We stayed there for the next hour and a half. After lunch we went to the top of Whistler to find the snow had dried out quite a bit. We dropped off Whiskey Jack into Ego Bowl where everyone got stuck in knee deep powder. Ditto for the run through the terrain park.
Digging yourself out of deep powder can be exhausting, especially when you're a kid. We stuck to the groomers from Emerald Chair down and ended up spending the rest of the day at the CLC because it was so wet.
