Synopsis
A ridge of high pressure is now exiting the region as a frontal system approaches Whistler from the west. The system is expected to bring some gusty winds and snow accumulations to the alpine as well as cooler temperatures. A second system is expected to brush the region later on Thursday with snow, before a weak ridge of high pressure returns bringing occasional sunshine back to the mountains through the weekend.
