[legalskier]

"Whistler Blackcomb smashes record for snowiest month EVER with over 5.5 meters (18 feet) of snowfall
November 2009 takes the podium as Whistler Blackcomb’s snowiest month in recorded history
WHISTLER, BC, December 1, 2009 – As the calendar flips over, it’s now official that November 2009 will go down in history as the snowiest month on record at Whistler Blackcomb, dating back to when the collection of weather data began 30 years ago. November 2009 has seen a total accumulation of 560cm (220 inches) of snowfall, nearly four times that of November’s average snowfall of 148cm (58 inches). This is an increase of more than 19 per cent over the previous record of 469cm (185 inches) set in January 2006, and a 22 per cent increase over January 1992’s record of 459cm (181 inches)."

That's wonderful for them with the Olympics coming up. Most of the forecasts I've seen and read had them having a rough season. Of course November is still fall and the winter could be different.

The photos and video coming out of their opeing day and beyond were insane for November skiing! They were getting 12-18 inches a day for what seemed like two weeks straight!

When I first read the thread title, I thought it said, 18". I was like, "big deal"... :lol:

WOW! I would be thrilled if Sunday River gets 18 feet this entire season.

So, apparently Stratton shared my email address with Whistler so they could gloat about their record month via email. As if it hasn't been painful enough to view online already.... :smash:

Parts of California are forecasted to get 15 feet in the next storm cycle. Flight to Reno?

First ever from Whistler actually.

Kind of surprised that I don't get emails from all the Intrawest resorts since I'm on the Stratton list from the free ticket giveaway contests.

I'd be mucho happy with 220 inches this season at Ragged, never mind in a month. I've lived in Stowe during at a couple of 100" months over the years. I can't even begin to imagine how sick 220 would be in one months time; especially with off peak crowds.

Sun Peaks hasn't been too shabby this week either..

$%^$#@ Whistler

I'm confident we're (we=East Coasters) smashing records today too!

(Unfortunately, they're daily high temp records...)
