Do any Ontarians want to meet up for a ski day at Blue? Weekday some time?

Im looking at the forecast for Whistler and for certain days, it is forecasting 15 inches at the peak, 6 inches at mid-station and zero rain or snow fall at the base. Temperature at base is at 40 to 45F. Why is that?

Hello everyone. I am trying to zero in on a location for my first journey this year and thought I’d get the sentiments on Big White. All things I see are pretty positive, the only thing I would wonder is if its going to get monotonous. I know its a big place but it seems from the few...

This is a recap of a successful roadtrip I made through the Northern Rockies with my wife and son over the span of about three weeks in March 2018. I used the Mountain Collective Pass (MCP) and covered 2,000 mi while resort-hopping from Salt Lake City to Calgary. We skied at eight excellent ski...

Just a thread to organize discussion about skiing in areas accessed through the Calgary airport. I don't think we need strict geographic boundaries, but obviously Banff/Lake Louise fit as does Fernie and Caslte. Revelstoke and Marmot probably fit, but Whistler probably does not. Post...

I'm heading out to Revelstoke on Christmas Day (no family and sweet business class frequent flyer deals!) and staying through Jan 6th. Wondering if there are any locals to that area on here - as I'm solo it would be cool to meet up with someone for some backcountry just off the resort, or just...

Heading up to Banff-Lake Louise area in a few weeks. Anybody on the ground up there can give a report to actually how much snow is up there now? I know some more is predicted this week. Trying to figure out what skis to bring. Info is hard to come by of what is actually on the hill now. Should...

Time to start thinking about it official opening day for Whistler and Blackcomb is Nov 22 this year Whistler instead of Blackcomb runs to end of May. new this year Blackcomb - new 10 passenger gondola base to adjacent Peak to Peak mid station of same is fairly close to the old...

My daughter and I are planning a trip in 2019. I’ve been to Whistler a couple of times, but I’m a skier and haven’t really paid attention to where snowboarders are having trouble moving along. I’m trying to think of places to avoid where she could end up having to skate along on her snowboard...

Winter seems to have come early to Alberta. After a week of white-knuckle commutes, I was bust some stress with some short powder laps this last Saturday. Apart from an open creek crossing, we were able to keep skis on from the highway to the top and back again. The snow in the alpine was...

My wife wants to go to Canada for a long weekend for her b'day. We're going to be in Quebec City (rue de la Couronne, Quebec, QC G1K7X4) and Montreal (Saint-Antoine Ouest, Montreal, Quebec H2Y 0A3), and I like to visit local ski shops when were traveling if possible, if only for a walkthrough...

Trying to come up with a Powder Highway trip. Considering early March. I tried doing a search for the best time but couldn't seem to find the answer. Is March a good bet or would another time be better Thanks in advance!

Unofficial Guide: Revelstoke Mountain Resort, BC By Jim Kenney April 9, 2018 This is an abbreviated unofficial guide to Revelstoke Mountain Resort, BC and more of a placeholder, than a finished product. I hope others who frequent the mountain more often than I will contribute useful details...

I live in Florida...need I say more ;) but man oh man I know its only April 9th but I just know in a few months it will be August and I will be setting my plans for next winter. I didn't get to go this winter so I'm dying here (but I heard this season wasn't the best). I can't wait for next year...

Hey there, Canadians! I'm torn about what passes to get next year - do you have any thoughts? What are you getting? Has this multitude of passes changed the way you do things? I ski mostly locally, but SO and I are thinking of doing a trip to Whistler as well next yer. Right now, I'm torn...

So I'll be there for the next 4 days (2 days at each) with the fam and was looking for advice on must-do runs. We are all Level 5 skiers, but not looking to do any chutes or double blacks. Mostly bowls and glades. I know that's kind of vague, but hopefully it's enough to get a discussion going...
