fleaguy Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 a quick trail report for Wednesday 1/23.., snow guns are still going strong all over the mountain. They haven't stopped since this cold snap began days and days ago. They've been blowing snow 24-7!! yipee!! It looks like lower runaway and fastrack will be open within days. Tonight the long-haul lift was running but not loading skiers...I guess just a trail run to make sure everything is in good order. Three snow guns are blowing on the new trail (snake??) which connects lower runaway with connonball. This looks like a steep narrow winding but short trail (can't wait until it's open, which should be by this weekend). No jumps or rails on mainline. Boomer groomed on one side...bumps on the other. WL bumped up. Should be FANTASTIC conditions this weekend....and warmer too! a quick trail report for Wednesday 1/23..,snow guns are still going strong all over the mountain.

Ratboy Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Spent most of my time on Whistler ... Not too many folks there. Pretty much had the place to myself. It was damn dark there too. They need to turn on some lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trackbiker Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Didn't you know? Whistler is the "Ski by Braille" Trail at Sno! If you don't have white ski poles with red tips and a German Shepherd on a leash barking directions, you shouldn't be on that trail! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
