Snow, snow again, and still snowing! After an epic end of year for the snow lovers, 2008 is getting off to a great start!
More than 450cm of snow fell this season, and a lot more is on its way. Above 50cm in the last 48 hours and a forecast of more than 60cm before the end of the weekend. Fresh powder on a daily basis, isn’t that a skier’s dream?
With all this snow, the Holidays have been great, and the winter is looking good in 2008 with the mountains ready for any adventure you might think of.
It’s under this snow that Pierre Lueders, four-time Olympian, and Justin Kripps christened the Whistler Sliding Centre bobsleigh track in December. The duo agreed that the track is challenging and that it will be a challenge for the athletes during the 2010 Olympics and Paralympics. The first international competition on the track will be the International Bobsleigh Federation World Cup in February 2010. Until then Pierre and Justin will no doubt dream about medals!
With snow conditions at their best, plethora of activities to choose from on the mountain or in the Village, and the Olympic venues ready for you to see, Whistler is the place to be this winter! Plan a trip to the mountains; contact Whistler Marriott for a spectacular, lodge-style hotel located minutes away from the slopes of Blackcomb.
