Blue Bumpers Invade Whistler 2024

indiggio · March 2

03/01/2024 - Whistler

Woke up to another 4” of snow in the village and reporting 8”+ up top. Typical morning walk over to Moguls for breakfast sangwitches, failed to mention this place earlier. Gold for us as they open at 7am, only bested by Starbucks, but the girls at Moguls are locals, so why make a conglomerate any richer? Breakfast bagel and cinnamon roll, delicious and recommended.

Up the Whistler gondy, anince we had yet to ride it, into heavy blowing snow at its top. Of course it had to stop for a bit midway. Took a warm-up run down towards Big Red, which shortly diverted into a bump run filled with freshies, wonderful!

Headed down towards Emerald, we found some untouched down Ratfink and Dapper with drops into Coyote woods.

We kept alternating between Big Red and Emerald, looking for trees and stashes on both.

We thought it was gonna be a crowded disaster, but it turned out not to be too bad, with only a 30 minute moving line to the Whistler gondy and 10-15 minute waits at the other lifts. Unfortunately with the blowing and fallen snow, the upper lifts were closed.

Dinner was back to the Old Spaghetti Factory for some seafood pasta primavera.

Whistler is a huge place, unfortunately with huge crowds to boot. It also didn’t help it’s been a bad snow year and people chomping to get out since many have tickets to use. It’s interesting to hear/notice all the different people who come here, everywhere from Australia to Britain, in both directions! It probably wouldn’t have been so crazy had they had a decent snow year. Regardless we all had a grate time and lots of fun, hoots and hollers.
