Arr! That’s it, next season I’m forgoing the midseason Whistler and saving up for Japan. With the exchange rate tanking as it has, might as well go somewhere with a high percentage of powder poaching. So far, my midseason Whistler trips have been a little dissapointing. Not to say I didn’t enjoy them, like they say, a bad day of boarding is better than any day at work. And we had some quite good riding. But I want to experience some real, true powder. Not the week old settled stuff some woman called powder. If anything, I think I’ve consistently had more fun on our early season quickies. No crowds all around, and our luck with weather has been pretty good.
So Dave, after reading your posts, I’m going to put aside for the Japan fund now.
I think Whistler is going to be out for a while. The next midseason will be to a US Destination.
Besides, with the upcoming winter Olympics, we probably want to avoid all the unwashed masses.
There’s a ass-load of pow here with more to come, so if you can get a cheap flight before Golden Week, you will probably have a good time.
