Funny that, about half way down page 2 I posted about snow due on Thursday, which you doubted, and said Monday. Now you're saying Wednesday!

Hey that's much better. From this information I could play you at your own game from Saturday onwards! Now if we could just see some snow on top of GLC.
By the way have you skied Whistler?

Mouth, yes, a few times. A great resort. It's one of my favourites in North America. (Alta is probably the best, except it doesn't have as good nightlife)
Whistler is where I first skiied powder - up in 7th Heaven, and in the Sunshine(Sunburnt?) Bowl. I also like trekking round to the right when you come down off the glacier. If you don't mind the long traverse, you can frequently get runs to yourself round there. I think one of them was called Rock and Roll, but not certain.

Wear The Fox Hat,
I see that you have yet again changed the title of this thread. I can only assume that the new title means that you will be transfering your holiday to Whistler atoday nd joining the rest of us snowheads who are heading out there? The lure of the anticipated snow and a few beers in the GLC too much Foxy??

Mouth, nice try, but you'll have to cope without me. The transfer in question is from the airport to the hotel.

Wear The Fox Hat,
Aghhh.. but you can't blame me for trying! You know if you got a hire car you could drive between the resorts? When I stayed in Vail I also skied Beaver Creek, Keystone and I think it was Copper Mountain - all within a half hours drive of Vail. Its the sort of done thing is US to drive between the resorts. Different but good all the same.
Having said that enough in Vail to probably keep you off the streets for the duration of your trip.
How amany days you there?

Excellent choice of airport transfer, Your Excellency.
The bar is located just behind the driver's compartment. Which cocktail did you order?

Mouth, thought about that, but I have a few friends in Vail who want to ski with me there. But have had an invite to ski Copper, and Beaver.

Looking good - thanks!
Hey see you have taken my advice on the transport front! Must have been the prospect of the limo that did it or was it the lure of other resorts?!

Mouth, it was a combination of several things... invitations to ski other resorts, flexibility, and cost of transfer.
But the main reason was your advice. 
I would post this link:
