Canadian Skiing, eh? -- Whistler/Vancouver - Feb 27 through March 5

some TRs from previous trips. Not sure what is in them. Probably a bunch of drunk posts. -
Just get a pass to Mountain Creek and be done with it. Too much PA talk on this message board anyway.

The Summit Safari Supreme is going to be an incredible ride. I imagine with the extra cash flow from the price increase we will get heated seats.

Last but certainly not least... do not get chili at the Glacier Creek Lodge. -

@Justo8484 is right about Peak to Creek. Do it once to ski the full vert of that place in one run and the insane leg burn. But never go back down there because it usually turns into an icy scraped off people funnel. Also, Peak-to-Peak gondola is worth the experience. Stunning views the whole way and the glass bottom is super cool. -

Yeah, the ice cave is on the way out of the glacier. Access and visibility of it depends on how much snow they have gotten. There is a great sushi place called Sushi Village that sells pitchers of strawberry sake margaritas. Make reservations and go there. Canada also sells Rockstar Vodka energy drinks at the store. Worth dabbling just to experience it at 6.9%. -

Whistler is awesome. It is my most skied mountain besides Blue. Everything up off the the glacier is awesome. Harmony/Symphony area is great on Whistler. If you are there during a breezy day you’ll understand the naming. Good thing you will be midweek because lines there have been crazy long. The earlier the get out of the base, the better. Don’t waste your time skiing down to Creekside. If you’re feeling adventurous and looking to pucker your ass, Spanky’s Ladder area can do that. The snow is always great in there. -
Should probably make this happen whenever our PASR party is.

Famous! Those aerial shots of the mountain always make the place look so legit.

I think he just clicks on that reaction because it most resembles him.

Anyone see any pricing for Cameltoe passes? I can't find anything about next season on their site. Curious what their benefit is for buying a Blue pass if ours is 25% for their dump.
-
Have they ever mentioned parking?
-
$20 a car, but free if you ride with TTC6 and Biggie Smalls
-
clever. then it will make this price seem like a steal.
-
no mention of free parking??
-
Is it still money on the table if all of their transactions are electronic?
-
Its fucking crazy that prices jumped $200 in the last two years, but this $650 price is more market value or whatever the fuck business term is used. If prices stayed low, or where they were two years ago then we would be dealing with the Epic pass lift line bullshit like all of those resorts and bitching nonstop. With this, we just bitch now about the price and then the rest of this season and next is all butterflies and rainbows until the next early season pass price.

Wow busy day there! @JFskiDan make sure you use a coaster for your beverages.

The lack of TR didn't make it very memorable. I'd like to get out there again at some point, but it is definitely high risk high reward type of trip. I was just looking through my pictures and it seems like I mostly took photos of Seattle, the sushi, beer, and cabin 🤷♂️

Yep, I've skied Baker and Stevens. Both are really cool places. Small, but fun. When I went out in 2011? it was supposed to dump snow on us but when we got there it pretty much rained the whole time until the snow levels dropped on the last day. I've been to Seattle multiple times and it is a great food and beer city. The PNW is one of my favorite parts of the country. Not much of a TR from the monsoon skiing:

Burritos for dinner, I'd assume.

Thanks for the pictures! It actually looks quite nice!
