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.

I’ve been all over Whistler. There’s nothing at Whistler that you can’t get at Revelstoke or Panorama BC.
What you can get at Whistler is marginal (at best) snow conditions from mid mountain down, tons of Epic pass holders that can’t ski and a bevy of tourists who are only there to been seen at the base shopping.
Here’s the Gondola between Whistler Blackcomb. This particular one has a see through floor:
Whistler is still stuck in the Vancouver 2010 Olympics. The Olympic Rings are still up on the mountain.
Hey guys, it’s been almost fifteen years since y’all hosted the Olympics. Take the rings down and build more trails.
