Happy Tuesday, Whistler! Here's how things are looking out there so far.
Today's forecast calls for a mix of sun and cloud with a high of about 5 C in Whistler. A low of -3 C is expected overnight, with a few clouds. Looking to tomorrow, the forecast calls for mainly sunny skies, with a high of about 5 C.
On the mountain, Whistler Blackcomb is forecasting a mix of sun and cloud, temperatures around 6 C, and calm winds. The freezing level sits at 3,100 metres. The mountain operator is reporting no fresh snow in the past 12 hours, and a base depth of about 105 cm.
WB is reporting 37 groomed runs and 473 acres on Whistler, and 38 groomed runs and 279 acres on Blackcomb.
Alpine surface conditions are listed as machine-groomed, and mid-mountain is listed as variable.
"A ridge of high pressure over the region maintains sunnier skies, along with milder alpine temperatures and light winds through at least the middle of the week. Later in the week we then see this ridge finally break down and some systems are expected in the region again, with milder temperatures remaining and wet flurries or snow potentially developing," WB said in its morning report.
