If you can book with whistlershuttle/ride booker they do airport to whatever your accommodation is. Others do airport to bus stop in the middle of the village, or downtown Vancouver to a bus stop in the village. Didn't mention looking for cheap so private limo, cab or chauffeur would be good too.

Avis also does (or did) one-way rentals between YVR and Whistler

I'd rent a car. Got to be cheaper than something like a cab even with parking in Whis. If where you're staying includes a free parking spot it's a no-brainer.

Heading out from Maine on Saturday for a week, what's the real world take on conditions for lift riders? Trying to decide on what ski/s to bring, looks like the Lotus 120's will stay home.

Looks like spring/park skis. Chance another storm might roll through next week, so keep checking models/forecasts through the end of the week.

snow-forecast is decent if you have a membership too. 12 days now. Also bear mind that in April the mid mountain forecast can say rain but the alpine can be getting nuked, even more so in the backcountyr where the peaks are often 1000 feet higher than the chairs. Alpine chairs only April is pretty common.

Obviously super sad. Condolences. I saw the aftermath on my way back inbounds on sat. Lots of peolpe standing around scene at about mid slope on Decker main. helicopter circling. Seemed odd and a lack of urgency. Makes sense now. No evidence of an avalanche. I guess he just fell somehow and died of his injuries.

Spanky's seems to have a lot of rules lately. Went around someone who needed to stop for a rest (like WTF it's 30 steps) and I'm pretty sure I got heckled (I think they shouted something at me - I wasn't really paying attention). This was on a sun shiny day with zero fresh to be had.

Seems like the forecast is trending toward a drier solution now. A couple days ago it looked like there could be some snow early next week, now not so much...

same thing happened to me last week , the boot pack was frozen and as sketchy has hell round the small rock before the steepening , side stepping on the low side was faster and safer , got loads of abuse , funny thing was I was following an extremely Canadian coach who advised me to do it , no one said anything to him

Which extremely canadian coach did you have? I did a day with them a few weeks ago.

Does the lower section of Excalibur run during apres? I'll be up in a couple days and the place I'm staying at has a parking pass for the Fairmont, but I'm wondering how easy it will be to hit apres in the Village and then return to Blackcomb base without walking the whole way while carrying skis.

Ski blackcomb, apres at handlebar, stumble home. Gondola runs til the tube park closes so it’s an option, much faster to just walk unless you have kids. Even from excal to the Fairmont is a decent enough push across the flats before going downhill again

I suppose there's the bus, too...
I'm taking a friend who has never skied Whistler before, so definitely want to hit the Village for apres at least once.

It runs later. I think maybe 6:30pm is last chair for the lower segment only, but not sure about that exact time, so just ask the lifties there in advance for the exact time. ...Or just figure it out yourself by hitting refresh tonight around 6:30pm to see when the lift status changes at https://www.whistlerblackcomb.com/th...ft-status.aspx
