Whistler/Blackcomb 2003 Jan 20 through Jan 27 Rain,Wind,Snow, and Fog!
Warning !! Experts Only !! Extreme conditions exist! Wind @ 85 KPH, fog and blowing snow!
Wow! Talk about brutal conditions! Luckily I already know most of the trails so I do have an advantage. The trails all have left and right limit signs, to keep you off the cliffs. However , I do recall seeing a right limit on my left in the fog, I did stop and make the correction. Seeing in flat whiteout is extreme, your legs do all the feeling, Most perception is that of down with lots of jaw breaking unexpected UP's. Black silhouettes of other skiers give you that sense of direction and distance. With luck on my side, the conditions only last the first 1000 feet down, where you exit the cloud and enter that choice skiing area!
Here I'm entering the symphony bowl, this is still at the top and one of only a few times that I could see where I was going. This run, Burnt Stew, is a long crusier that will take you to Whistler village, easily a six mile run, with the begining here wide open all choices going down!
