never been to Whistler, headed there in late Feb with a group of 3 for our annual guys trip. Any recommendations on places to stay (recommend the Whistler side or Blackcomb side)

I haven't been in over 10 years, but we stayed on the Whistler side. I think there's a lot more going on over there... bars, restaurants, etc.
You going to be in Vancouver at all?

Other than flying into Vancouver and driving to Whistler, no.

I haven’t skied Whistler, but stayed there this summer. Fairmont was a very nice hotel. Four Seasons is next door. I didn’t notice a difference between the Whistler vs Blackcomb bases; both reminded me of Vail.
The only advice I have is to take a bus from the airport to the resort. You don’t need a car. We did several offsite activities which all had shuttle service. I bet a car is useless during the winter.

Need it to cool off some so we can start blowing. Periods next week look ok. Month till opening, will need a good storm around Halloween to have anything but a ribbon.
Hoping we get something late next week on the northern stream energy dipping down.
Ready to ski

Been in the low 80s here this week. Dropping off a cliff Saturday to Sunday though, with a lot of moisture. Should be some snow down to 8,000 ft. My body is ready.

And so it begins...

The clouds lifted to reveal the first snow on Park City Mountain! ?????
Winter is starting to show up in the Wasatch, and it’s always a great sight to see that first dusting on the peaks. More mountain snow is on the way this week!
Who’s ready for ski season? ??

I have Park City booked for New Year's. Hoping for some good, early-season snow.

That is basically what PC looked like when I went there in February.

What are the folks on here that ski regularly every season thinking about the super El Nino weather pattern this year? Weather experts saying the Sierra's and southern Rockies will be the ticket (Tahoe, Mammoth, Telluride, Wolf Creek, Taos, other NM resorts, etc.).
Planning our annual trip now and wondering if we should heed these forecasts or not...

Weather is funny. I was there two weeks ago and it was high 70s maybe even low 80s. First time at Snowbird. Beautiful canyon and mtns. Awesome view of the sunset and then the city at night.

Mardi Gras week was awesome in PC. It was a bad year but we got lucky there on two trips (Jan and Feb) with good weeks of snow.

Core shot after core shot. No thanks.
I guess after the first core shot, the rest are irrelevant.

Or you just keep some early/late season planks around for trash days.

Yeah that was a rough week. Nice to get some dreary and 50s October back
Hope you had a good time

Otherwise, hot tub and watching people come and go from Oktoberfest. We didn’t really wander out except for dinner at the steakhouse (the elk was incredible) and a dinner on the top of the Mtn. The sunset up there was incredible. And the city lights down the canyon coming down in the gondola are pretty cool.
Hope you had a good time

For the Western Slope of CO (because its where I live) its like letting it ride on black. Seriously. the slope is right on the band of either another shitty winter like last year or some epic shite. no in between. The two variables are the Hudson Bay Low and the Polar vortex.
For the polar vortex, if it collapses and displaces its core, it dumps intense blasts of Arctic air south into North America. If that displaced cold air drops into Colorado and collides with the moisture-heavy El Niño southern storm track, it produces massive, season-making snowfall events. If the vortex stays locked north or the storm track stays too far south, we miss the party.
For the Hudson Bay low, if it shifts too far east or northeast toward the Labrador Sea, that deep trough of cold air is directed over the East Coast instead. In this scenario, the Arctic air completely misses the Western Slope, leaving the central Rockies with mild, dry conditions. For the Vail Valley to see an epic winter, that jet stream trough needs to dig straight down the Rocky Mountains. When the Hudson Bay Low forces the cold air directly into Colorado, it collides with the moisture-rich southern storm track fueled by the super El Niño, triggering massive, season-making snowfall.
these two frickers are like an unholy cerberus (the third head being people NOT praying for snow) for epic winters out this way. Good news is we'll know soon enough.
Pray for snow, baws (i also feel like dukke right now talking about the weather lol)
