Hmm...maybe I should reconsider then. Seriously tho, the last thing we need is retired people in bellingham. They should all go to phoenix and florida, since those places are already shitholes. Meanwhile, leave bellingham full of college chicks and climbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dru Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 if u want powder why would u go to whistler? freshiez is slushiez there year round. now if u want powder i hear blue river is nice; kicking horse; rossvegas; nelson. in fact if it were not for the dirty hippies & distance from squamish, nelson would be the ideal place to live.

Personally, I've never thought Whistler's snow was all that great. It is typical PNW ,but it can be damn fun anyway. Whistler is just cool cause there is so much to do there. It's funny how all the tourons here who diss on local snow go to whistler for their vacations. someplace in the canuck rockies might be fun. decent skiing + ice climbing, and it seemed like a lot of cool towns existed there to me.

JoshK Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 So whats the big deal about salem anyway? I've been there twice now and both times left scratching my head on why everybody thinks it's such a great place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 What redeeming qualities does Salem have, you ask? The answer is zero. Bigtown problems with littletown annoyances. To summarize, it's a total hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshK Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 OK, that was certainly the impression I got, but I've heard from numerous people how "lovely" salem is. I was awed when I actually saw this supposed nirvana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figger_Eight Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 If I won the lottery I'd buy a house in Hood River. You got everything within a few hours. BTW: Big White has tons better snow than Whistler, but Whistler chicks are HOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
