Whistler Has Received 17.5 Feet Of Snow Already

Wow what a season so far. With over 593 cm of snow in the alpine and 193 cm at it's base, it's time to look at Whistler for a ski trip. For us locals living in Vancouver, we can pop up to ski in 2 hours. One of the benefits about living in Vancouver. Whistler has developed nicely over the years. It used to be only a winter town, but now there are more people exploring and staying in during the summer. That's true.

One of my favourite times to visit is our Canadian Thanksgiving. The hills usually have a dusting of snow. This usually occurs a few days before we get up there. But it has also snowed and left its beauty over the Thanksgiving weekend. The market is open to buy those fresh baked goods at the "Benchland" Base. Plus there is the huge "Turkey Sale" during the Thanksgiving Weekend. I love the long hikes up the side of the mountain and always looking out for bears. I usually see at least one bear on this weekend. Respect the wildlife. Watch from a distance. This is a time when the bears are very hungry as they prepare to hybernate.
