Hopefully the season will end late thenvibiker said:
There website states that crud to mud (snow) will open May 21.
The opening date truthfully could change at anytime depending on snowthruster said:
Well this last weekend Mt. Baker received about 4 feet of new snow and the snow level went all the way down to 1500 feet. I imagine Whistler had much of the same so its gonna take a lot of warm weather to open Whistler any time soon. Just gonna have to do lots of Shore riding for the next two months.
Ya but it could all melt really fast if it warms up soonTtotheJ said:
Don't hold your breath.cove rider said:
Valley trails are 95% still closed, that shoudl tell you how close the mountain is.
April was an optimistic date based on previous years snow. With the proper amount of snow we got this year, it goes back to the typical opening which is may. At the rate the snow is melting, I am not getting my hopes up for any trail riding in the near future.

For as much money as they lost (or didn't make) after last year's awful snowfall, I'm sure that they are in no hurry to oust the skiers.killowatt said:
Good point!vibiker said:
Little while into the season i think, check there site it might say www.whistlerblackcomb.comKanter said:
I just got back from Whistler, walked up the fireroad a little, and there is still a ton of snow. Still needs a good 2-3 weeks to melt.
While people are still coming up and paying $74 for a lift ticket, its in the mountains best interest to keep it going.

ya there probably going to try and keep skiers/borders coming for as long as possibleNetguy said:
Last year with lousy snow, it opened mid-June.Kanter said:
Year before, last few days in June.
This year, it could be July.
And it is still chilly. The potential for the snow to stick around is high. Of course they will plow the lower part of the mountain (bsx) soon and start moving the dirt they have stored up by lower a-line.Netguy said:
Yes indeed! I was just in the mountain bike portion of there website and read the little article about how some of the guys went and skied freight train the other day hahahaRoasted said:

This picture was taken in January, when they had 25 million feet of snow in 30 days. So there probably isnt as much right now.cove rider said:Yes indeed!

PS - That bridge was so much better, before they took the mini booter off it. You could clear the entire thing.
