    I can get discount ski rentals too at Snowcovers. Again pm me if you want that. They're in Village North.
    I should be in for a day or two of BC, may take you up on a rental pair of Freerides on fatties. I already have the peeps, probe and shovel. Getting the level 1 training at Tucks in 2 weeks.

    Trigger pulled! Plane tickets on jetblue from bos to sea are ridiculously cheap to the point it's entertaining.

    Well this lurker is interested in the weekends (school). I live in the area so I should be good for neighborhood areas. Don't think I can do W/B though.

    Ok I'm in -- I'll be there from (more or less) March 8 - 11. I'm in for any group activity that doesn't involve singing.

    Tentative plans for me:

    March 8 - Blackcomb; meet at Gondi in village at 815 and ski.

    March 9 - Whistler; meet at Gondi at village at 815 and ski

    March 10th - Tour in the bc - TBD. PM if you need to arrange for rentals from escape route. I will call them and let them know you guys are coming and you can then rent directly from them at a discount.

    7pm - eat at Sushi Village in village (its on the 2nd floor above Blacks the pub) - I can get booths - will reserve for 12 people

    March 11th - Tour in the bc - TBD.

    7pm - eat at Carambas in village (close to main square in village) - will reserve for 12 people

    March 12 - not sure since its a travel day for most of you.

    Someone else wants to take up the slack of arranging for inbounds skiing meet and greet on March 10th and 11th pls step up.

    General comments
    --------------------------
    - I don't even know if you guys need someone to show you around on the 8th or 9th.

    - If its a large group then we;ll split up depending on ability and depending on whether there's enough locals willing to lend a hand. (SOMEONE PLEASE STEP UP?!?]

    - If its inbounds I don't mind charging hard on steeps but Im no cliff-hucker so maybe follow someone else if you want that.

    - I'm picking early meeting times and sticking to them because that's the best skiing.

    - In the bc tours, I am not a guide - just a buddy OK? You'll need tranceiver, probe, shovel and know how to use them pls. If you're unsure I'd suggest practise beforehand

    - Biggest comment; All of this changes if its powder days.

    Due to family constraints, I really doubt I can get up there before Friday the 10th. I'm still wobbling around on a place to stay...

    So I'll plan to hook up at Zen Sushi @ 7:00.

    I'll be skiing the 4th through the 9th.

    Not a local but I've put in at least 200 days or so skiing inbounds (and slightly out of same) over the last 15 years. I'm happy to show anyone who wants some of the mountain(s). I ski Whistler around 90% (my condo is at Creekside) so Blackcomb experts step up now.

    I'll be skiing from the 8th through the 11th so I can show people around Whistler (I almost never ski on Blackcomb but I can fake being a guide). Since I'm driving up on the 8th I won't be in the village at 8:15am.

    Since there's a lot of people coming and going I'd propose a lightboard meeting (at the Roundhouse on Whistler and Rendezvous on Blackcomb) at 12 or 1pm just to resync after lunch.

    Radios would be good too but I've forgotten the standard maggot frequency.

    Count me in for some or all of this. I'll definitely show up for the big weekend when the most maggots are there. I'll probably be sleeping in my van and bribing condo folks for opportunities to shower every third day or so, that will make the skiing and dining more affordable.

    Happy hour in the white Toyota Van!

    I'm up for these. I'm no cliff hucker either, but love chutes and trees.

    Got the peeps, shovel and probe, but may take you up on AT gear in the shop. I'm leaving the tele gear at home. Getting the training at Tucks for ski patrol.

    LeeLau,

    Another non-cliff-hucker here. Just gone firm with my flights and hope to arrive in W/B around the 5th or 6th after a few days in WA and then ski thru Sunday. So hope to be around on 8th and 9th.

    Would definitely be up for one day's bc; would need skis/skins rental; but got all the other gear and practiced searches quite a bit. However do not have training avi/snow condition knowledge (usually been guided in Europe). Which day to choose could leave til later to mesh in with conditions/other participants.

    Could you put me down for both the meals on Fri and Sat?

    Depending on price I could be interested in catskiing but seems like that idea was still-born?

    heli drops

    a good alternative to cat skiing is getting heli dropped on Rainbow Mtn or some other nearby peak. if you fill the heli, its about $75 per person for one drop. drop in the am, tour a few glacier laps and ski out. I dont know the area well enough to guide. Lee????
