 Poster: A snowHead
|
Does anyone know if Whistler are doing their "Discover Whistler" promotion this winter & what the dates would be?
We're intending on going back to Whistler again for our main ski holiday & I was just wondering if anyone knew the dates so that I could arrange flights & accomodation.
Cheers.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I find the ski lessons are so crowded on Discover Whistler days that you don't get value for money. I have twice the fun in lessons outside those weeks. I realise it costs more but I think it's worth it.

On discover days do they still put 3 people max in a supergroup? In 2005, they were putting 8 in a group (although some of those classes may have been free, owing to the terrible weather).
Oh and Veeeight tells us he doesn't take any prisoners and takes people to Pakalolo for their warm up lap....well I suppose it's better than Mr Snowy taking us down the Couloir Extreme for a warm up lap last year...

It was still a maximum three in a supergroup in january this year during the discover whistler days.

If you're signed up to Supergroups you will only have 3 in the group, DWD or not. If you're a season passholder and it's DWD and we're really strapped for instructors (because they've re-allocated us to EC or some other department) then we might ask if you wouldn't mind if the group went to 4 instead of 3. We didn't exceed 3 in a group for non-passholders in 06/07.
As for warm up runs, don't worry, only the high level 5's and 6's get pushed that hard!

Supergroups start at 9:45. Surely you've already done a warm-up run or two by then anyway? I know I always have! Had a fantastic run down zigzag in virtually untouched powder last time I was there with no-one else around. It was the first time I'd ever managed to ski well in powder as well!

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

9:45 is that am?
I'm usually waking up around that time!
Would be nice to improve a bit this year though,so I might just drag myself up to Blackcomb a bit earlier!
