Pack a snorkel!
This winter looks steep and deep.

Whistler Season Pass Pricing 2017/18 is live. Think ahead and save.

All the 2016/17 pre-season deals are gone now. I'll leave the spreadsheet up but it's kinda useless at this time.
My big spreadsheet This answers a lot of the "what is the best value" questions.

I'm not going to link to all the normal things you can just Google or find on the resort's own pages so...

Links to weather related things that you may not know about:
Cypress webcam (skier's plaza) (with real, live footage)
Cypress webcam (snow accumulation in the past 24h cleared @ 10pm nightly) (with real, live footage)
Honest and accurate forecast based on RWDI's secret sauce model at popular resorts
North Shore Rescue's forecast for local hills @ 915m elevation
NOAA snow probability vs accumulation (really cool)
Enviroment Canada ensemble (good for looking at long term temperature trends @ YVR)

Whistler specific cool things:
Whistler status (I think it's better than WB's own app)
isthepeakopen.com
Whizzy now counts your vert based on RFID pass scans!
High resolution, geotagged, PDF maps for in-bounds skiing at Whistler and Blackcomb. Money well spent if you want to start shredding the awesome chutes and couloirs on Blackcomb, but don't have a local expert to show you around.

If anyone wants to get into ski touring or splitboarding, PM me. I'd love to go show someone new around a simple area. Take your AST1 first.
