The Olympic storm
Whistler Weather forecast
Welcome to Whistler...and the typical February weather. My advice go ski the powder.
The first in a series of fronts are set to approach the region today bringing precipition in the form of snow above 1400m. The storm track will remain pointed at us through Monday bring copius amounts of snow above 1400-1500m.
An intense pacific frontal system approaching the British Columbia coast will spread strong southeast winds of 60 to 90 km/h late in the day tommorow to the alpine
Mens DH forecast:A short break between systems Friday night. A more intense system approaching the coast from the SW Saturday morning looks like it should show up around here late in the day Saturday bringing high winds and snow above 1500m. Hopefully the race will go before it hits. It looks ugly on the weather models.
Long range:
After that wet system exits on early Monday a ridge of high pressure looks to be building bringing cooler weather and sun??
