Jim Posted March 11, 2003 Posted March 11, 2003 I'll say. Timing is everything. It's whiteout or 40 degrees. Still haven't been to Bachelor when the summit chair is open. Quote
iain Posted March 11, 2003 Posted March 11, 2003 you're not missing much. it's an ice rink up there. Quote
jhamaker Posted March 11, 2003 Posted March 11, 2003 Baker was skiable Sun a.m. 3/9. Just point the skis down hill in the fresh snow and hold, and hold, and hold. Grab other's tracks in the flats and off you go to the next steep! Quote

Â that, and the chilli cheese fries Quote
allison Posted March 11, 2003 Posted March 11, 2003  that, and the chilli cheese fries  And the Yakisoba at Pine Marten, but ya know, Bachelor blows goats, so you all best stay away. Quote
gapertimmy Posted March 11, 2003 Posted March 11, 2003 you guys should skip work and come ride today. it is a pleasant 38 outside, slight drizzle and no visibility... oh and moderate winds Quote
b-rock Posted March 11, 2003 Posted March 11, 2003 Slight drizzle... So now two out of the three times I've been to Bachy it's been in the rain. The glades on the NW side rock though. Quote
eternalX Posted March 11, 2003 Author Posted March 11, 2003 Whistler is suppose to get dumped on all weekend. Thinking about bagging sun peaks and going there instead. As icing, they are offering WA residents 52 CDN lift tickets all march long. woohoo! Â Quote

iain Posted March 12, 2003 Posted March 12, 2003 heh here's another one : check it stupid skiers! Quote

silaswild Posted March 12, 2003 Posted March 12, 2003 eternalx: How does one get ticket for that price? Show WA driver license at the counter? Or buy at 7-11, or what? Quote
allison Posted March 12, 2003 Posted March 12, 2003 and what is the name of that cheap kind of bunkhouse hostel place north of the Village? Thinking of running up there next week for a few turns if I can find lodging without compromising myself. Alternately, anyone have a condo or anything they would like to lend me for a night or two? Be happy to leave you a couple of drawings or something nice as a payment. This has worked well lately...I have a laptop and some new dental work I got this way. Quote
eternalX Posted March 12, 2003 Author Posted March 12, 2003 I got an email...then i signed up on the web site, but can't find it now. they assign you a code and then you need your WA driver's license (which I still need to get). Here's the number from the bottom of the confirmation email.. let me know what they tell you: Â If you have any questions regarding this offer, please contact the Whistler Blackcomb Reservation Centre at 1-800-766-0449.
