Well the ski and snowboard season is off to a hell of a start. Whistler has a received 400cm (160 inches) in November. I was lucky enough to go skiing up there over Thanksgiving. Two days of skiing and one day of telemark. Three great days under my belt! I did two hikes out to Harmony ridge and got some epic powder lines for early in the season.

Although you may think Whistler got a lot of snow this November, take a look at Mt. Baker. On November 27, this was posted on their web site: "We have DEEP SNOW CONDITIONS at the ski area today with 86 INCHES OF NEW SNOW IN THE PAST 4 DAYS and 132 inches of new snow in the week!" Yesterday, they were requiring avalanche transceivers and gear to ride INBOUND on Chair 6.

INSAaaNE!

They now have the largest base of any place on the continent with 120 inches!

Let it puke snow,

Scotty.
