In a recently released YouTube video, Whistler/Blackcomb flew a group of skiers and boarders, to the upper part of the mountain to make some turns. The video is sure to get you primed for upcoming winter! Check it out here
In the video they comment, that they dug a snow pit and found the base 210 cm with 20 cm of new powder that day. Having lived in Whistler since 1991, I can tell you for this early in the fall, there's a lot of snow in the alpine of Whistler/Blackcomb. It looks like the start of the 2014/2015 ski season may becoming early!
