I was east of Whistler Mt's ski area boundary in Burntstew Basin. In the flats of the basin, at around 1700m, there is a height of snow of 150cm and a foot penetration of about 70cm. Ski penetration is 30cm. The ski quality is pretty much excellent. As the visibility was pretty bad by the time I got there I don't have a lot to say about the Alpine. At Tree Line I saw no avalanche activity, and many slopes got there first tracks of the season; I'd place the hazard as Moderate, and going up as it storms tonight.
