For me it's Whistler- looking at the last week of February. I was out there last year and the snowpack from mid mtn and below was just awful and still ended up leaving after 9 days there with a big smile and great memories. The place has been keeping me from experiencing other resorts out west.

So as we approach July 4th all I can think about is how many more days until flakes begin to fly and it got me wondering...has anyone already made plans for the upcoming season? I've started checking air for a return to B.C. At the end of Feb.

Question...dumb or not so be it... If you have the lift bar down, and your holding on wouldn't the chances of you being "tossed" be greatly reduced? The speed on the pullback didn't look terrible based on the video...I guess I'd jump off if the drop was 5-7' but otherwise I think I'm locking the...

When's the last time a storm produced 20-30 inches of just soft sugary goodness to the mountains north of the mass/vt line? I'm in SE CT with a dumping of really soft snow and all I can think about is how amazing it would have been had it puked like this at any of our favorite northern...

1 month until my 3rd consecutive trip to Whistler- They say with addiction that admitting you HAVE an addiction is the first step to recovery...For me it's more of an obsession :thumbup:

Whistler Blackcomb...black diamond skiing...black diamond food/nightlife ...and black diamond shopping. 2015 will be my 3rd trip out there ..can't get enough

Hey everyone, looking for any current college students on this board with an active .EDU email address. Needed for a student discount regarding some exam preparation I'm going through for work. I'm an alumn from the University of CT and no longer have an active .EDU email addy from them. Let...

Made my first trip to WB last year, stayed in a condo which had ski on/out access on the Blackcomb Mtn (which is rather limited if you could imagine). The mountains are phenomonal, we had a mix of 3 snow days which was just non stop powder and then another 4 days or so of bluebird days. So we...

So me and my wife were given a really cool gift- the snow cat dining adventure which sounds pretty cool. It'll be our first time skiing Okemo (Usually can find us at Stowe or Mount Snow) so looking forward to a new mountain. My question is does anyone know of some real solid accomodations or...

Heading out to Whistler in Feb. Flying out of NY on the 14th at 9pm...arriving at Vancouver at midnight...checking out grandville island market saturday morning then off to the sea to sky highway for a 2 hr ride to Whistler village. Then its non stop from Sunday-Saturday..CANNOT WAIT! Hope the...

Yup 650 direct flight from ny to vancouver....rental car the following morning on the sea to sky highway. Agreed, there's really no need to rent a cattle the week...you have everything you need right in the village. On another note a cool thing to check out back in vancouver is the Granville...

So obviously WB is not in the NE but I thought it'd be interesting to get a thread going regarding my upcoming trip to WB and thoughts on the deal/price compared to doing a week at one of the major NE resorts. Here's my deal-7 nights for 2 people in a Queen loft right in the village with a 3...

Was curious if there are any Stowe regs that have the inside scoop on this or not? Was on the lower half of side street on saturday around 1pm when I noticed that traffic was being re-directed off of side street due to a medical emergency. Went about 100 yds and got back onto the trail where I...

A few more shots from yesterday...snowed all day at the top of blackcomb.
