In 1998 there was an El Nino and I cancelled a Whistler trip because of the possibility of a low-snow year that was predicted as a result of the El Nino and went to Utah instead. Well, Utah was fine, however, Whistler did not have any ill effects from what I heard. It's always a tough call, but I'm sure Valhalla and Whitewater will still have plenty o pow pow. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SkiVt-L is brought to you by the University of Vermont.
