Can anyone tell me what the ski conditions would be like at
Whistler/Blackcomb the first week of April?
Last I heard there was a 250cm base, is this accurate? What would be
the chances of rain - or on the opposite side, getting some powder?
Lastly are there any low-cost motels or condos near the mountain?
Thanks,
Mike.

I was at Blackcomb last weekend, March 25. Yes there is a 250cm base
but no new snow. Condition is hard pack in the morning, softer in the
afternoon. Skiing out to the village is OK even at 4:00 pm. Both 7th
Heaven and the Glacier area is fantastic, excellent skiing. Expect the
same for the first week of April, make sure you have a lot of
sun-screen (major sun-tan !!!) There are really no cheap accomodations
near the mountain. But it is low-season in April, so expect to pay
$75++ for a single room. Or, try staying in Squamish (30 minute drive).
Chances of rain ? We have been getting sunny weather and +12C all week.
Have fun.

Went to Whistler April 7-14 and thoroughly enjoyed myself (see SKIING
516.20 for more). Caught two days of rain/fog, but the other days of
sun and extreme skiing made up for it. I'll be back.

The following question was asked in another note that for some reason
was set hidden ... however, the question is generic ...
> Has anybody got any recommendations? Good trails, where to eat, etc?
