Ranking Ski Resorts by Trash Talking

[eldereldo]

During my one and only visit to Whistler, I was bitching about the horrendous top to bottom ice and 45-minute lift lines. A local claimed that living there was different, midweek experience was better, etc, and that it was great because you could do any sport you wanted there.

"How's the surfing?"

Actually I have no idea why anyone comes to Whistler on a holiday for the skiing. You are more likely to get rained on and top to bottom ice than a day of deep powder. You do have to live here to have a chance of getting any of those day’s marketing likes to show in their promos. And even then it will cost you an hour or more waiting for a lift opening, and you will get one run in before it is tracked out.

Tell everyone.

Sugarloaf used to have "one big mutha' of a mountain". That was pretty funny.

Kind of the same as it's always been, but not really either. Have you read the book about the history of the place, "A Tale of Two Skis"? I think the Starbottle saloon has a copy you could page through or read. Bert Vanderwall was a pretty cool cat. Got to meet the guy years ago. Talk about a guy who with his buddies got shit done up there.

Hadn’t heard of this book. Will be sure to check it out when there in March. It’s $45 on Amazon.

I like the place. Small town skiing at its finest.

I think they stole that from Mt Hood Ski Bowl...

Show me^, Ski bowl is the largest night skiing in North America. Hoodoo were skiing is still magic. ;-)

It was the tagline for MHSB when I was a kid

"Like no place on earth."
"Not exactly roughing it."

Those are the two closest to me.
