OK OK. I'm caving in to peer pressure and putting up a post. I just got back from a work trip to vancouver and of course I went skiing at Whistler while I was there. It was a fantastic trip, I had fresh powder both days and first tracks on the blackcomb back glacier one day. It felt like heliskiing because the snow was perfect and nobody else was in sight. Drunken haze at night of course with lots of time spent in the hottub.















This is a picture of the backside of Whistler taken from Blackcomb. The trails you see are only the ones that wrap around the side/back, the main hill is still to the front.














This one is a picture of the top of seventh heaven on blackcomb, the groomed trail that you see is the easiest trail down from the top (well almost top, there is another set of lifts that goes up higher, but no easy trails from there) of the mountain.















This is just down from the top of the glacier chair lift, this is a blue trail area, including the area down the face of the cliff where you see the guy by himself. needles to say I didnt go on any double blacks. I went by one double black that had a 100 ft drop that you had to jump. The single blacks had about 20-50 drops but had easier landings.

This is a picure of whistler village and the valley, taken from near the bottom of the mountain. And yes you do ski all the way to the village. The longest run (green) from top to bottom is around 10km long.
