Whistler 2011 / 2012 - The Community Blog

Hi all,
Im going to be in whistler from the 27th of feb for 12 to 20 days (not sure if im going to go to another mountain yet).
my question is, What is the best way to buy my lift passes? Should i buy them over the net now, or should i buy them there? If there, where is the best place to buy them?

Rider’s Blog: Day 5

I caught up this morning with Finney and Blake. It was Blake’s first day up the mountain so we wanted to show him around. We rode all over the place today; we did runs down to Emerald and Red, then decided to hit Peak and Harmony. There was a huge inversion on the mountain today; -7 degrees in the village and +3 degrees up top. It was a gorgeous day up at the Peak and we stopped to take some photos etc.

We did long, winding runs for Peak to Harmony, basically giving Blake the full tour. We covered a good portion of the mountain in a few hours. Blake was stoked and so were we. We bumped into Marc at the top (he was working at the top of Peak Chair), so he joined us for a couple of runs.

We all met later on at Crystal Lounge for beers and chicken wings. Shaner joined us too. It’s always nice to unwind after a good day on the mountain. Crystal Lounge has been one of my favourite after-shred hangouts over the years.

Skip, they were being quite friendly today. We pretty much tricked them by whistling and pretending we had food in our hands. There’s always a lot of Whisky Jacks around Harmony.

Mizu, really sorry mate, they ran out of wings. None left till next season.  smirk

I guess I could take them….although on second thoughts, without wings, what would be the point?

For sure! We’ll catch up when you arrive. Let me know when you’re scheduled to get in and I can probably pick you up from Legends and take you to where you’re staying. Will save you a taxi ride.
