Whistler Opening Day - Nov 17, 2007
Shout yourself out if you're going and follow it up with some pics of the powder festival that will be this weekend
Everyone's all jonesed up for opening day so it'll likely be a shit show to bother trying to meet or hook up for any turns during the day. But with so many WB jongs coming out of the woodwork and old friends to see too, we should try!
- No way anyone's slowing down in the am
- 12:30 at the clocktower for some afternoon turns
- 4:00 at the Longhorn for apres beers and a good old fashioned dick waving session.
I'll be in line for the Gondi ~7am with a buddy.
bring on the La nina winter of 07/08!!

^^^thats fucking retarded, what a bunch of douchebags^^^
but realistically im pretty sure the tickets will be pretty cheap(by w/b standards) cuz its early seson and id quess that ud probably spend more money on gas between ur sled and ur car getting to the trail head.Last edited by Bring On The Snow; 11-15-2007 at 06:49 PM.

Going to be there for sure. Village gondy.
I skinned up to the resevoir on Blackcomb today. 7th is pretty scoured, but the snow was quite nice until about the bottom of Catskinner. Then it was a wet slog to base 2. It went pretty well aside from some skin missing on my heels. Turns out maybe a 4 hour skin isn't the best way to get reaquainted with my alpine boots.

Thanks Rich....I haven't finalized my plans but will definitely be there Saturday and know when to meet.
Longhorns might be a gong show to get seating at that time. We might want a plan B for apres like Black's Pub or Behind the Grind.
Nads....meet us for drinks after.Last edited by Spark; 11-15-2007 at 07:10 PM.

Ultra-dick move lumping the competitor passes in with the staff pass blackout for opening weekend. I can understand the staff pass thing, they need someone to run the lifts, but anything beyond direct mountain staff should not be included.
Anyways, I'll be there, most likely in the Village line early-ish. Navy Jacket, Orange pants and I might be stupid enough to bust out the brand new Thugs or ARGs first day. So look for that idiot.

I know - its kind of crazy i know but this was pre-fortress. Basically the customer comes first even if that means that they prohibit staff and or other undesirables pillaging the goods at the expense of the paying customer

Staff/vollies get tickets on Saturday if our passes are not yet ready. No idea where you are getting info that we aren't allowed up.

Well, maybe I'm the only one getting screwed then.

Hummmm, I just waxed my skis, it was a very sensual experience to say the least.
I'll be there, and still looking for a ride sat morning, although it seems like I might already have one.
Does anyone think hiking the goat's path is a bad idea? Not enough coverage in the trees?
