I pushed the hill tonight, and rode down Aline from the DM junction. There were various small patches of snow here and there, however for the most part it was 85% clear, and was in good shape. The last 3 tables and then the GLC were perfect.
From what I have heard, the upper half has a little more snow on it.
Also rode Heart of Darkness, which was fast and tacky, with no snow.
Warm weather on the way starting Wednesday. Looking forward to a good opening weekend.

....and you said you are not getting a pass! We should bet on how long you can hold out for. $359 is the best deal in town, for a season of riding up here. 8 times break even.

Good info, reminds me of hiking Alta down in Utah pre-season to poach a little snowboarding and booter building.

Mr. Cat Balls,

You aren't riding Whistler this year, so you shouldn't be jones'in' for any A-Line hawtness. Seriously.

15 Days until I catch my first lift up for the season.

Bike prepped for season: 300 bucks in random crap...
Liver prepped for season: 200 bucks worth of beer in the past 3 months.
Season Pass: 359 bucks...damned exchange rate...
Hitting the first lift up for my season on the 24th: Priceless.

well according to the whistler/blackcomb website, EVERY day this year will be extended play till 8. your game plan is ride early AM. my game plan: sleep in, ride 1-8 while its not so crowded, and everything totally dies at 430

I'm goin' Ironman, baby!! 10am - 8pm. Obviously late breakfast, lunch, and snack breaks through-out...but none-the-less....8 hours of solid riding Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday...then a couple hours Monday to finish off the weekend. I should be completely shot by the end of the weekend...

Besides...enough tequila fixes anything.

Good call; I think it might be all the vitamins in the lime that is commonly used a chaser that makes it so revitalizing.

I might be up there Memorial Day Weekend. Mending a broken collarbone right now, so if I'm healed up in time I'll be there.

Excellent! The wife will be tagging along this time, so you can try and sell her on the finer points of DH'ing...apparently me coming home bruised, broken, and bloodied doesn't do it for her...go figure.

Awesome! Can't wait to meet her! She must be special to put up with you! :weee: Is she going to ride? You should rent her a nice Norco Six or something and sign her up for a camp. Either way, she'll love Whistler.

GrapeApe, aren't you up there for the week?
Unfortunately not...I have to present some stupid school thing the following Saturday that is not even close to being done...yikes! Thats okay though, we'll be up there as often as possible to take full advantage of our seasons passes!

Not to sure if you all got the memo, however the bike park will be running 9am till 6pm for the first 3 weekends, and 10 till 5 during the weekdays. Extended play as we all know it, starts on June 16th.

Secret Squirrel, you should sign her up for a Dirt Series 2 day camp! I hear it's the best. I'm taking the one the first weekend of June, but there's 2 more throughout the summer, check the site http://www.dirtseries.com/schedule.htm, not that expensive for 2 full days of instruction either.

Yeah...when we went up last Mem day we rented her a Kona Stab...and she putz'd around for half a day...Unfortunately, there's a slight "condition" that will preclude her from riding this year. (Don't worry, it's a good thing!) We've gotta get her ready for next season!
