That was an awesome report. Can't wait to read more!

You're an animal FrankO :D Congrats on the October turns, even with a list of excuses that long!

Haven't got the Nov issue yet, but I agree about the quality dipping a bit, but also loved the Deep Thoughts article too.

Holy Cow. Waiting 5 weeks for photo op? You have much more patience (and memory) than I. I agree with Admin. Don't leave us hangin'.

Touché! :lol:

My only thought in avoiding the northern latitudes of Quebec had been that it can be bitterly cold. I have spent a few days at Tremblant around Christmas where the temp was -30C, which is way too cold for enjoyable skiing. However I do realize that colder average temperatures could mean the...

Ok, time to get out your crystal ball: Where's it going to snow that week??? Just kidding. I've got a week, and 4 friends, intermediate to expert, and we're heading east. We've been thinking about trying to find a single place to stay for the entire week, but being able to visit between 2 & 3...

That synopsis seems pretty clear, and would indicate a very strong inclination to get things financially on track before doing much else to the resort. It also shows that they have created a clear mandate to make more money from a smaller core of visitors. The devil is in the details though...

I would agree that from a purely legal standpoint this is entirely justified. It looks like it would even make sense economically, since you don't have to give away a service your company wasn't paid for in the first place. However, the optics are terrible on this one. It looks really bad when...

Nice trip pics! Looks like a good time was had by all 8)

That's not the issue, my wife was very much in favor of me taking a week with a friend to head up to WB this month (report still coming). The biggest issue is that anywhere within 2 hrs cost about $50+ and has 700 vert or less. It's hard to justify 10 local days when that would get me half of a...

Almost an all time-low for me this year: 7 total -------- 6 @ Whistler-Blackcomb 1 @ Blue Mountain (Ontario)

I'm stunned by this as well. I never would have guessed that less snow and no tram would have resulted in more skier visits this season. I suppose that Tony is right, no such thing as bad publicity...

Yeah, I've never been to WB when the bottom half was open (well, technically there was a ski-out on Blackcomb, but it was a ribbon...) and that doesn't matter one bit. There is just soooooo much terrain. This week will determine when & how long I'll be out there.... :lol:

I was thinking about coming out sometime during the week of april 12th. Any ideas if a) most of the crowds will have left by or b) there will be a zillion people due to the Telus WSSF and c) if the long term weather indicates freeze-thaw into the alpine regions? Every time I got to whistler in...
