Happy Monday, Whistler! Here's how your week is kicking off in the resort.
Today's forecast calls for periods of rain with a high of about 7 C in Whistler. A low of 4 C is expected overnight, with periods of rain. Looking to tomorrow, the forecast calls for periods of rain, with a high of about 8 C.
On the mountain, Whistler Blackcomb is forecasting mainly cloudy skies with isolated flurries, with temperatures around 1 C, and light winds. The freezing level sits at about 1,700 metres. The mountain operator is reporting four centimetres of fresh snow in the past 12 hours, and a base depth of about 290 cm.
WB is reporting 64 groomed runs and 908 acres on Whistler, and 59 groomed runs and 799 acres on Blackcomb.
Alpine surface conditions are listed as variable, while mid-mountain is listed as spring conditions.
"A milder but wetter southwesterly flow into the region will bring cloudier conditions, as well as wet snow lingering to start the week. Milder conditions then linger into near midweek before we see something a bit cooler and more seasonal return beyond, with patchy sporadic flurry activity still expected," WB said in its morning report.
