WHOOMP HERE IT IS! To all those who have been sitting on the couch waiting for winter to show up: consider this your call to action. Ullr delivered this past weekend, blanketing the mountains with snow, including the first half metre event of the year. Powder reports flowed from Whistler to Marmot, and many in between.
Check out these powder hits and get snowked (snow + stoked!)—that snow will be setting up nicely into this week and adding to those ever important base snowpack accumulations.
SilverStar shining
Nearly 30cm at the 'Star, as the resort popped the cork on the new year with some champagne.
Across the interior, Revy got 20cm, and Fernie and Kimberley both scored 18cm.

Marmot stacking up
With 12cm over two days, ski school shows you how things are improving, turn by turn at Marmot Basin.
In other good news, Troll Ski Resort re-opened after a new year's warm spell and Phoenix Mountain and Harper Mountain also joined the season.
The rest of the mountain west is getting a refresh as some cooler temps make their way into the region. Extra layers may be advised, but the riding is getting better by the day!
Looks like our long range weather forecast update (with help from our friends at The Weather Network) is on track!

It's time for winter celebrations in the Rockies with Jasper in January and Banff's Snow Days coming up.
