December saw some great snowfall and led us out in the powder for the first time that season. A start of the season pub crawl eased the guests into the legendary Whistler nightlife! Chalet hosts were on hand to help guests get their mountain bearings and show them around the slopes. Hosts made sure that nobody missed home to much and cooked guests the mother of all Christmas Dinners at Trappers Cabin. We even took guests out into the woods to cut down Christmas trees in true Canadian style! True to form again we were blessed with Christmas day powder!
January started with a bang with the New Years eve party at Tommy Africa's. January was pretty cold but the chalet host still managed to gratify the guests need for speed with early morning top to bottom straight lining on Whistler! Lots of action also came from the Nokia FIS World Snowboarding championships.
February was looking bare until 2ft of snow greeted us on the slope for some wicked powder days. The parks and pipes were in full shape with guests getting brave enough to improve their skills.
March, snowmobiling amongst other things, and lots of early morning fresh tracks breakfasts on Whistler when we all got sick powder!! A great month of snow with over 5ft falling in March alone.

- Rupert getting some powder! -
April saw some awesome powder (over 6ft of snow fell!, check out the statistics HERE), great spring skiing conditions and the Telus World ski and snowboard Festival. Goggle tans were a plenty as were numbers in the parks. Tricks were coming together with the Bon Ami crew - headed by Captain Jack - dialing their 360's over the table tops. Partying went into another world in April with the all night festival wrap party with DJ Josh Wink and the Season It end of season party. Trappers Cabin was fully kitted out for the Season IT bash including local DJ D.O.D., a keg of beer and the shot ski. It was a night to remember.
May: While Season IT didn't operate this May we will be in 2005. May is the month of sunshine and beautiful bluebird days. Apres and goggle tans are a sure thing. This is also the month the notorious Whistler Mountain Bike Park opens.
