Did we just ski the best powder run on Whistler?

Nothing is better than a powder day & Harmony is one of my favourite places to spend it. The Harmony zone offers the best mix of open alpine terrain on either mountains. You can slay a seasons worth of dreamy ski lines playing around off Harmony ridge. The only catch, sometimes you have to tough out some lift lines. Thanks to all who tested the sauce!

2 mins ago, I literally couldn't be earlier. YOOT I don't know if it would be too much work, but if you could add an approximate location of where you're at (like the name of the run you're doing) it'd make the videos even better

[@ScottyInVancouver]

That's good idea !

[@ezpznoob8092]

thats what lucas catania does, its cool

great idea but then secret's get out and people get mad

Hey Josiah thanks for tuning in! I used to add in the run names on some of my videos but found it got repetitive since I ski the same mountain all the time, Most of the spots I ski are all detailed in my guide videos from last year. Exploration on the mountain and in the trees is all part of the fun of getting to know WB!

Sweeet! I'm definitely doing Sun Bowl to Symphony Express this Monday. I noticed a couple of flat sections in the middle. Is it too flat? I'm a snowboarder haha

[@riseandalpine]

Unreal! There should be enough of a pitch to be good on a board, unless the spring snow is sticky!

Thanks! I'm super happy you noticed. Longer upload times and way more storage, but I'll keep the 4k coming if everyones enjoying it :)

Thanks for the great vids. Keep them coming. I'm 67 and brings back memories from when I lived in Whistler in the 1980's. (learned to ski there skiing with experts.) Living vicariously through you. DBird

I'm 65, skied Whistler the second year it was open, and still ski there. Already have 4 days there this season.

where you at now dbird? come on back!

[@blairdickie1235]

@@rocky6162 I've actually just moved to Ottawa so I'm closer now to some better ski areas. One hour away from Calabogie Peaks resort (800 vertical) and two hours from Mt. Tremblant. Also only five hours to Killington resort where my buddy from Philadelphia has a chalet. ( 3000 vertical, 21 lifts, 74 miles of trails and 1526 acres of skiing over 5 peaks plus Pico resort. #20 on the vertical list for N. America.) At some point I'm coming back.

[@riseandalpine]

That would make for a super cool video! I'd have to film it on a non-powder day though.... No stopping when the snow is deep LOL

[@pappinyc]

Love your vids and your energy - puts a smile on my face every time - thanks!

My pleasure dude - that's why I do it!

Harmony Chair on Whistler

Entertaining as always lol Epic ! I need to find that spot haven't gone up to Whistler yet this season!

[@riseandalpine]

We still need some more snow so not a bad idea to hold off. Good luck on your powder hunting!

[@itsdavidpurcell]

When sun bowl is good, iz guuuuud. 😂

[@riseandalpine]

The interior hills snow is king - who doesn't love Champagne powder! Revi is on my hit list. I've skied all the other mountains you've mentioned quite a bit. Although the snow is drier, the terrain at Whis is way gnarlier than Sun Peaks, Apex, Silver Star & Biggie. No such thing as Whistler Powder.... thats up for debate LOL. Happy turns.

how long does it take to get good enough to do these comfortably?

[@riseandalpine]

Totally depends how much you ski. I know some people who have been able to ski these runs their first year on skis (with a lot of practice of course).

[@ezpznoob8092]

perfect

[@dyingfromthelying]

Powder.. that's a laugh. More like elephant snot. If you want powder try interior mountains. I had a Whistler pass for years and I never sked powder until I went to Sun peaks. Or apex. Or silver star. Or big white. Or the granddaddy of them all Revelstoke. Or any kootenai ski hill. Don't believe me try it. It once snowed 13 in, minus 18° at whistler, by lunch time the snow was already set up. No such thing as Whistler powder.

[@riseandalpine]

No such thing as Whistler Powder.... that's up for debate. I've skied it all my dude. The interior snow is most definitely King. Other than Revi, the other mountains you mentioned don't have the gnarly terrain Whistler does.

[@dyingfromthelying]

@@riseandalpine Yes you are right about that for sure. I guess never really took that into account. I've got myself into trouble more than once there. Fun as shit though.

Those are my favourite lines on Whistler... always hiding some kick ass snow

[@rawrrawr7292]

Pow at 7th heaven today was incredible!

[@riseandalpine]

Such a sleeper day!

[@Jacob_colton]

Hey man, how long are the lines? Just curious if it’s more standing around then actually skiing

[@HawgRiderBC]

It's like driving in rush hour, you have to avoid certain runs and chairs at certain times, and always stay off the weenie runs (Emerald chair at Whistler, and Jersey Cream at Blackcomb) and you'll see much shorter lines.

[@riseandalpine]

@Gone viral, Robert gave a killer description, the lines in the favourite zones can be deadly on powder days, but if you know the mountain a little bit you can work around them. There's often a fair bit of standing around which makes interior mountains way more attractive.
