So, I've got the week after next booked off from work. And there's no snow in Europe at the moment. But there's loads in Whistler....
Is a cheeky warm up week in Whistler too extravagant?
It does depend on being able to swap work around when I get back, so no definite plans as yet, but it is very tempting indeed.

Kramer, if you can get a good last minute deal, why not.
Canada is very good at the moment, but extreemly cold.
Go for it

Is Whistler the new La Rosiere? (Or is that impossible?)

Well that's it booked then. Not the cheapest holiday, but what the hell, it's been a tough couple of months, and I deserve it.
paulhothersall, HelsT, any others, I'll have to get contact details from you before I leave.

Kramer, no - you work hard for it, so do it. Plant some trees and sponser a goat to make up for it.

Kramer,
doh - puting ideas into my head now!!
What was the damage if you don't mind me asking? I'm getting tempted myself!!

Kramer, have you been to whistler before? if not, prepare to have a lot of fun! top tip - buy yourself the skiing guidebooks available in lots of the stores. really clearly laid out and gives loads of lines which aren't marked on the piste map. also, those cornice drops aren't as bad as they look. took me a while to summon up the will to do them but you get used to them after a while

You know it makes sense.

Arno, thanks for the tip. This'll be my third visit, not quite sure what I'm planning on during the day. I'll probably try and hook up with some snowHeads, maybe get a few lessons.

Just to gloat one last little bit. Just worked out that I'll probably manage seven days skiing due to the flight times.

Kramer, try out some Prior Originals if you can. The factory is in Whistler and I think there is a shop somewhere. They had a demo tent (along with various other companies) when I was there last time. It was so nice swapping my rubbish B4s for a decent ski and a bit gutting to have to swap them back 2 hours later

Has anyone done the Extremely Canadian or the Dave Murray Camp. Looks like a little gates training may be in order.
