My brother & sister came out to Vail back in 2009. My brother lost his ski in tree well and my sister was rescued by a sexy Chilean man when she couldn't breathe due to the lack of oxygen. It's one of our favorite family memories. The closest to a newbie I’ve skied out west with is Nastar Glenn...on a frantic pow day getting off the gondola he walked several yards in deep snow before trying to get into his skis and didn’t understand why he couldn’t get into his binders....yeah snow stuck to the bottom of his boots. The trick is to lay the skis down right where the pavement meets the snow and get right em them.

You can fly to Vancouver and then rent a car, ride a bus, or take a train ~2 hours to Whistler. Same for the return home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The airport is far from the ski resort. Actually Denver airport is similar distance to the ski resorts but a much shorter flight.

Now I obsessively whack the snow off with my poles and haven't had such issues since. Edited March 24, 2021 by saltyant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, was that a post where they teased everybody with an "Ikon or Epic?" question? Other than that I think all references to CB and Epic may be thrown because they were not careful one time calling their conditions Epic. It's too bad that there is no clarity on this. If they were going to be on Epic for sure, I'd be much more incline to ditch BM pass in favor of Epic. Edited March 24, 2021 by eaf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
