Trip 2012 CANADA….

Avatar

Me, Fast Eddie, Fatima4u are going back to Canada…...

Were doing a week in Whislter and two weeks in Banff, can’t wait it’s going to be that good!
And can’t wait to meet up and ride with more boardworld members!

Has anyone ever stayed at the Aava Whistler hotel? This is where we are staying while in Whislter.

Haven’t been in there but looking at the location it’s pretty much perfect, just off the main village stroll so will be a few mins walk to everywhere you want to be.

Nice Warren! When are you going? Are you booking everything yourself or doing package deals?

Nar Dan i spoke to the people at flight center….. Were looking at $4485.00 each

Thats for flights,accomodation,lift tickets,transfers…  Were going for three weeks

Hey that’s a pretty good deal. For three weeks and everything inc, not bad. When were you heading over? How many days lift tickets are you getting? Did you just tell them where you wanted to go and they sorted it for you?

Sounds wicked. I would like to do something similar if I can get money / time off work.

Should have gone through Ski Max and saved 5%? 5% of $4485 = $225 savings each!

Just personal preference.. I’ve worked on Whistler for 2 seasons so I’m biased. Don’t get me wrong, both are good mountains but if it’s a pow day you’ve got a 99% chance of finding me on Whistler as I know where to go to find fresh from first chair through until the afternoon.

Yeah both are good mountains. The thing I don’t like about whistler is that usually after you hit the pow no matter where it is (peak, harmony, symphony) the way back to the lifts at mid mountain are long cat tracks. Whereas in Blackcomb I found there are less cat tracks, and the lifts are more spread out. But both are awesome!
