re: 2023-2024 Ski Thread

I hope to go back to Whistler one day and pray for clear skies and good snow. They have had a lot of rain there this season. Local said it rained for two weeks over Christmas all the way up to the peaks. They said that means next year will be epic.

Visibility was poor the rest of the week for four ski days with rain and clouds rolling through. Can’t tell you how many times I thought the trail was straight or turning and I mis-guessed it. Sometimes at the last second. I almost went over cliffs multiple times. Several would have had me falling 100s of yards down. Honestly, I was uncomfortable most of the time. There were a lot of small ascents that I couldn’t judge and would have to keep stopping at the top of them.

When I’m at Heavenly, I feel like I know every ascent, trail, most tree areas, etc. I live that feeling of always knowing what’s ahead of me. When I’m on a trail, I like to downhill ski and I could rarely do that comfortably at Whistler.
