Happy Wednesday, Whistler! Here's how your hump day is shaping up in the resort.
Today's forecast calls for a chance of flurries with a high of about 4 C in Whistler. A low of -4 C is expected overnight, with a few clouds. Looking to tomorrow, the forecast calls for a mix of sun and cloud, with a high of about 2 C.
On the mountain, Whistler Blackcomb is forecasting cloudy skies with sunny periods, with temperatures hovering around 1 C, and light winds. The freezing level sits at about 1,500 metres. The mountain operator is reporting one centimetre of fresh snow in the past 12 hours, and a base depth of about 170 cm.
WB is reporting 53 groomed runs and 734 acres on Whistler, and 70 groomed runs and 555 acres on Blackcomb.
Both alpine and mid-mountain surface conditions are listed as machine groomed.
"Variable skies again today in the wake of a weak frontal wave last night, as some sunnier periods redevelop in the afternoon. Another system is then expected late tomorrow, which could bring some wet snow with it under milder temperatures and flurries remaining into Friday before some sunshine returns on the weekend," WB said in its morning report.

The avalanche danger rating in the Sea to Sky is currently low, according to Avalanche Canada.
"As the temperatures drop, so too should the avalanche danger. Continue to assess your local conditions, if they don't match the forecast change your plan to something safer," the forecaster said on its website.
