it's an absolute blizzard tonight in Whistler
 

i love mother nature :)

Nice! I'm thinking of going for a weekend in December with some buddies...

Pics?

yeah let's see it!...it will probably hit montreal eventually!..I can feel it's coming!..can't wait to go snowboarding! :Graucho

Yeah, I like snow. Of course, its easy to say that when its 90 and sunny, but I am looking forward to going back to Michigan for a month and enjoying a change in weather.

I don't know how you guys up that far North deal with those chillin temps.

I'm cold now in Florida and its about 65 degrees out.

hehe winter is only hard when you have to wake up everyday at 6am and go to work....then you have to shovel the whole drive-way to get out...arghhhhhhh

fortunatly I don't have to do that! :Graucho so yeah, I don't mind winter! ;)

Nice ! gonna nail Tofino soon for Storm season!

it's a total playground out here. don't need to go anywhere, and it's only steps to the gondola, and the best virgin snow around for riding.

i can't wait till my subaru is ready to go next week :)

arghhhh never went snowboarding in the rockies....conditions here are pitiful compared to what you have on the west coast :(

i'll try to go this year....

that's what i'm talking about! :thumbsup

Oh man, thats fucking gorgeous. :thumbsup

You don't feel kind of contained though when its like that and you're all snowed in?

I stick to the local mountains usually...

hell no. you are never contained out here. the village here has absolutely everything (including some of the very best restuarants in the world), the best hotels, the best of everything. most of it within walking distance. that's another thing i love about Whistler, the proximity to absolutely everything.

Whistler is like a winter wonderland right out of a movie... There is tons to do, and everything you need is within walking distance. The city is loaded with people and has regular events, so it's like one big party.

You're also a 2 hour drive from Vancouver, the largest city in western Canada.

Brrrrrrrrrr! I'm sorry, I'll stick to laying by the pool each day. Gotta love our 80° winters here in the desert. I think snow is really pretty..... when I see it in a movie!

I have a bad feeling that this is going to be one of the worst winters ever...

damn nice....here on the east coast (of canada)...there's a couple of shitty mountains...nothing really big...
When you travel a bit to the south there are some nice mountains...in vermont for example....but damn are you guys blessed on the west coast for kickass snowboarding/skiing locations... nothing around here can even compare....

Blizzards are good...as long as one stays inside.

it's freezing here too..... a chilly 80 at midnight. I have my winter board shorts on.

love whistler and Vancouver.

I know wat you're going through man.

and i'm the easter bunny.

I used to go up to Lake Arrowhead and one time they got a snow load of a storm and the roads were all impassable going back down the mountain and they have pretty much the basics up there as well, but I was concerned what if we had an emergency situation and needed to get to a hospital. You're completely shit out of luck.

I don't know about anywhere else as I haven't heard horror stories, but we're quite prepared - at least in Montreal we are. Streets are cleaned quite quickly - winter tires, highways and roads to hospitals get salt or sand the fastest. Even in the mountains most of the main roads are cleaned up quickly. Winter is beautiful if you don't have to walk long distances when it's 30 below 0 with a windchill factor of -45 :)

hell yeah!
