First Official Whistler - BlackComb Week End!

It was time, and what a time!! Whistler has announced an all time record month of november for total snowfall with more than 550cm in 3 weeks!!

The email I received this week!

After 2 more weeks of hardcore studying, it was again time to go out there and check out what they meant by "Record Snowfall". We were well served! Jerome (a friend in UBC who comes from Bellechasse, Qc) and I get on the 6am bus on saturday morning on our way to Whistler. We get up there, and fight our way to Harmony lift on Whistler mountain for some early morning powder dream. We walk a little, and get ready for some fresh tracks!

Jerome takes a nice multishot of my track. Wow, waist deep powder, a Dream!

Taking a break on the mountain, thinking about the next slope to hit

With the new Peak to Peak gondola, we head to Blakcomb, since winds were too strong on the Whistler side

On top of the 7th heaven lifts, we see that winds are still very strong on Blackcomb...50-70 km/h!

(2230m)

After a few powder tracks in the forest of 7th Heaven, we head back down on the slope called "Couloir Extreme". And it was...more than 45 degrees inclination, sick!

We head back to Whistler for a Poutine, and this concludes Saturday

Jerome went back Saturday, I continued with the Swedish Crew on Sunday!

Back in 7th Heaven on Blackcomb side, Joaquim, Stefan, Mats and I get ready for some more powder

And this conclude this first week end in Whistler. Great start of season! Looking forward to the weeks to come!

Until next time!
