AlpineK Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 Um Bandit have you ever skied above tree line on a big Cascade volcano in the winter. I think Wistler wont face much competition. Quote
Bandit Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 Of course I've skied above timberline in the winter on a PNW volcano. What's your point? At Timberline, Oregon, if conditions get too bad, they close the lift. That happens at Crystal all the time. So what? Whistler will definateley have competition on this one. For one, the snow quality will be better. Sounds like they'll have just as many ammenities plus the gambling. Watch out! Quote
iain Posted October 12, 2004 Posted October 12, 2004 Timberline's upper lift is effectively closed all winter. A lift tower was blown over at one point, and they quit trying to open it in winter, it's not cost-effective at all. Even the Magic Mile is on standby or outright closed much of the winter. Quote
Winter Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 (edited) Hey all, thought I would forward this little tidbit of warmth from Meadows management. Enjoy. (POST DELETED) Edited October 15, 2004 by Winter Quote
catbirdseat Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 Winter, would you care to elaborate on that post? Quote

AllYouCanEat Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 I've seen nothing here that is slander. Only information, and opinions about several articles that have been posted, which frankly seem to be full of misinformation. Passing threats of slander around doesn't seem very productive. What would be, is clearing the air. My opinion is that this would be an unfortunate developmennt. Others may differ. We have the right to voice those concerns. Quote

You have the right to voice your opinion. Go for it! I for one enjoy our wilderness and the lack of commercial use we are fortunate enough to enjoy in washington. Whistler is great, but there are a thousand hills like that around that part of the world. We only have so many volcanoes. Edited October 19, 2004 by AllYouCanEat Quote
YonatonDaniyel Posted November 1, 2004 Posted November 1, 2004 Well, I am horribly sad to see that Mt Adams will be another polluted, clearcutted, noisy american resort. Who cares about nature anyway, just a bunch of stupid trees, who needs them; we need shopping malls! After all, parking lots, casinos and golf courses are very beautiful, nothing like the fresh smell of tar and pavement. I will give up tree hugging and start a movement to help save the casinos.

AllYouCanEat Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 (edited) Right on! I was just up on the northside and it reminded me again why I love the place and how they could make such a negative monetary decision for the sake of the environment, natural beauty and beliefs.

ScottP Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 Read here "In my mind, it's still up in the air," (Dave Riley) said. "We're going to continue to work with the Yakama Nation and provide additional information to them so they can continue to consider the development." Quote
