80cm+ in Whistler!

I have been in Sea to Sky for 13 years. I have never seen this much snow! Squamish is usually an almost snow-free town in winter. This winter, however, we are a proper winter town!! There is so much snow anywhere along Sea to Sky. This is the year we have to ski/snowboard!!

First Day of the Winter Season

Brandywine zone is a famous sledding zone in winter.Before sledding operation starts, however, it is a good touring area. We can drive up to the snow line and start touring soon. Here are some photos from today. It was really foggy as the temperature went up, but the first day of riding was so good. Whatever the condition is, it is always a good day on the first day of winter(riding/skiing)!!
