Forecast
113mm of precip in the guage at Whistler creek today as a atmospheric river from Hawaii has been pointed at Whistler for the last 48hrs. At times yesterday and today the freezing level peaked to above 2100m. Tonight and early tomorrow the cold air moves in as a large arctic outbreak from the interior displaces warm tropical air from the SW. Unfortunately except for the highest peaks most of the precipitation has fallen as rain, and will now re freeze overnight leaving bullet proof ski conditions.
