    I'm guessing we were all standing about 5 feet apart. I liked when the ski patrol escorted the gate crashing boarder out of the corral. At least the goings on kept me amused during the wait.

    Not Aussies, at least my accent recognition software didn't detect it.

    As far as 'Where does this go?', I did that many many years go. I was hiking up the chimney to the grey zone. At the top I...

    Had an interesting eye-opener talking to some tourists about to cross some avi signs into harmony. They told me (emphatically) that these were warning only, cross at your own risk. I guess 'Closed...

    Whatever it says is/was true. All the mid-mountain lifts went on standby around noon. Not sure what happened after that as I found my way down to Creekside.

    :) I've seen some magically hiking around the signs, 'Never saw them'

    Reminds me of drivers in Quebec, "Why is everyone waiting when that blocked off one-way street is obviously the way to go?'

    I would think a rental would be cheaper, providing you can somehow fit 5+equipment into something.

    Weekend crowds? Whistler emptied out around 11:30. At least Red chair did. I kept lapping Goat path, a few McConkey's Trees and finally ended up at 3 in Dusty's. Fun times were had by all.

    Lee, well said. The same loudmouth asked me when the lift would open. My semi-sarcastic 'It opens when it opens' wasn't well received. And the crown in Kaleidoscope was really impressive as well.

    I was skiing Harmony laps today so can't confirm the following. The grapevine reported that West Cirque slid to rock during AC. Anyone confirm?
