Surprise! Whistler reported 7cm overnight but there was way more fresh snow than that. It was pouring rain in the Village first thing in the morning and I wasn't looking forward to spending the day in the rain. Two out of three of my lower level Club boys showed up and after a quick breakfast stop at the CLC, we reached the Roundhouse around 10am. It was snowing huge flakes at the CLC and it was a full on blizzard up top.
The boys had never had a good powder day as it's been a warm, dry winter this season. I wasn't sure how well they would do and I thought they would get tired quite quickly. We dropped into the open area between Whiskey Jack and Ego Bowl where we found knee deep powder. Wow! I was shocked at how much snow was in there and it was decent snow ... in other words, it wasn't cement like I had assumed it would be. To my surprise, the boys killed it in the powder and they loved it! We spent the day in the Green/Blue areas of the Emerald Chair. We hit lots of moguls, turned them into jumps, went through some open trees and found powder up to our knees. It was a really fun day. I wish I had my Go-Pro with me to video how awesome Jessie and Teppei were riding.
