From Whistler’s Twitter feed:
“#WBOps Alpine lifts are closed for the day due to cold temperatures. This includes 7th Heaven Express, Glacier Express, Showcase T-Bar, Symphony Express, Harmony 6 Express & Peak Express.”
I’m not trying to turn this in to a VRI flaming thread, I’m just wondering why WB is closing the alpine area when it seems like the temperatures they are experiencing are common for other ski resorts. I’ve skied Vail at -15 degrees F, and I don’t remember them closing any lifts due to cold.
Is this a “Canada” thing? Is there some wind that isn’t in the forecast?
