13cm new and sunshine at Whistler today. Few clouds on and off the peaks and some fog in the valley made for spectacular views too. The snow was windblown in places and the "powder" depth varied a fair bit due to wind effects, but overall an excellent day on the mountain. Can finally ski out to Creekside too.

Why aren't they snow making? I thought it was cold enough.

Snow report for eagle side only. The wall to wall snow was soft over a hard base with icy patches here and there. The first hour was good for high speed cruising. They did not make snow due to high humidity last night. Possible snow making tonight. Planning a 0900 eta wed morning.

Hey Dallas, nice vid. The Hero 3 looks great! I'd want one! Thanks for the GoPro mount link on BWD as well. I might get that harness mount. :D

Would night skiing at Cypress be any good? Thinking of going tomorrow after work.

The highlight would probably be the Family Pizza Special
