Whistler Posts Snowiest Month Ever

Posted on Jan 14, 2010 by Landon in Resorts, Spot Check

As many of North America’s mountains languish through warm, dry early season conditions, Whistler and the Northwest are getting hammered. In fact, Whistler posted it’s snowiest month on record in November with over 18 feet of snow piling up.

According to Whistler: November 2009 has seen a total accumulation of 560cm (18 feet) 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).

And now, with the record broken, there is still an entire season of skiing and riding to look forward to. With a season that offers 192 days of skiing and riding, Whistler Blackcomb is already over half way towards the resort’s average annual snowfall of just over 10 metres (33 feet).
