I was east of Whistler Mt's ski area boundary
in Burntstew Basin. In the flats of the basin, at around 1700m, there is a
height of snow of 150cm and a foot penetration of
about 70cm. Ski penetration is 30cm. The ski quality is pretty
much excellent. As the visibility was pretty bad by the time I got there I
don't have a lot to say about the Alpine. At Tree Line I saw no avalanche
activity, and many slopes got there first tracks of the season; I'd place
the hazard as Moderate, and going up as it storms tonight.
