It’s February 14th but if you don’t have a special somebody to share the day with, not to worry.  Mother Nature dropped off a little Valentine’s love of her own, smothering us all with big fat snowflake kisses.  Similar to “Chocolate Kisses”, Snowflake Kisses are the primary diet for powder hungry skiers and snowboarders.  So when you’re trying to decide what to do this Valentine’s, make sure you take some time out of your day for the other love of your life……SNOW!

Whistler Blackcomb have received 36cm in the past 24 hours with 55cm in 48 hours and over 110cm this week.  Add all this up and we are now sitting at over 930cm of snowfall this season, only 100cm from our total yearly average. It doesn’t end there however, with over another 30cm expected in the next couple days it looks like there are plenty of good times still to come.

New to Whistler Kids & Ride Tribe this season, flaik is a real-time tracking solution for skiers and riders that not only provides extra safety, but allows participants to log their day to see what runs they were on, how much vertical was achieved and see where they want to ski in the future at Whistler Blackcomb.

WHISTLER, BC, April 8, 2010 – Another blast of winter weather hit Whistler Blackcomb dropping 21 centimetres on the mountains in the past 24 hours. The fresh powder overnight brings the total snowfall this season to 1,432 centimetres or 47 feet, surpassing the 2006/07 record of 1,416 centimetres or 46 feet, making this season officially the second snowiest on record. “This is great news for our spring season as we head into the TELUS World Ski & Snowboard Festival kicking off on April 16,” says Stuart Rempel, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Whistler Blackcomb. “With a snow base of close to four metres (over 12 feet), the skiing and riding will be incredible right through to the end of our spring season which extends to May 24. This snow has our terrain parks in top shape, including a new 22-foot halfpipe on Blackcomb, which is being built for the Festival and will remain open to the public afterwards.”

Hello all,  

With all of the “negative” media surrounding a lack of snow at Cypress Mountain in Vancouver currently circulating the globe, it has come to our attention, that many believe the same to be true about Whistler Blackcomb.  However, quite the contrary is true!! January 17th officially marked the snowiest start to a season ever, keeping our record breaking snow season going. We are hoping you can help us get the word out!!! 

Kindest regards,

Kimberly - Whistler Blackcomb
