Cold Weather + Light Powder
November 29, 2006
It has been really cold (by Whistler standards) the past few days. Yesterday it was 20 below freezing Celsius (-4 degree Fahrenheit). The snow was amazing. Nice and chalky where it had been skied and nice, light and deep where it was fresh.
My wife, Shelley, and I made our way behind the Harmony lift and skied a really nice line. One thing that was kind of strange was a new lift running. Yes, the new lift is turning and will change the way we ski Whistler mountain. I remember when they added the Harmony lift. Prior to that we used to ski the Peak chair until all the powder was gone and then we would move over towards the Harmony bowls. Then the chair lift went in and you had to decide where you wanted to ski more...tough decisions, really!
By the way did you know -40 degree Celsius = -40 degree Fahrenheit. Any way you slice it, that is too cold for me!
