Ashley - Great Pow here at whistler - particularly when hiking. I'll take Blackcomb's terrain over Hood's any day.
Jimmy - Spanky's refers to Spanky's ladder, access to Ruby, Garnet, Sapphire, and Diamond bowls above Blackcomb glacier.
Oh, I almost forgot. As I was boarding down to Blackcomb base to take my board in for some ptex work (hit a rock covered by pow), I may have spotted Hugo hanging out in the tube park, sporting a jacket with a fur trimed hood...

I would take Whistler too, but its freakin' expensive, and the terrain here is fantastic. We had better snow than you did. No contest. I've skiied pow days at Whistler, this was better.

(not saying that I have, just wondering) No doubt, I just had three sweet days in a row and never went more than two hours from my house. Alpental backcountry was sick today, super light, thigh deep and untracked everywhere.

KTW - just to be clear - not saying anything bad about WA - just hood. Stevens is my home mountain, and I need someone to show me the goods at Alpental and Crystal.

yes, yes you said that already. Hope you got that p-tex stuff taken care of, I would hate for your scratched board to be the cause of any carnage that may occur this season. Everybody hates equipment failures.

Yep, took it right down to the core on the lateral moraine on Blackcomb glacier when boarding down from East Col, so I figured I should get it fixed before too much moisture gets in.
Had great views today of Spearhead glacier - Spearhead isn't backcountry I am willing to solo...

Wow, I haven't popped in here in a while but now I find out a PP member's home mountain is Stevens? Damn, we should get in some ski days next season. Up for some spring touring in may and beyond?

Oh, I usually do a few trips to Whistler and Hood in spring when all the local areas close. Don't know about space but let me know if you're interested. Last year we ended up sleeping in the parking lot to save on cash but this year I'd like to try to get as many people as possible and split the cost of sleeping under a roof.

I won't be able to do any activity until May ![]("smileys/smiley6.gif") but after Cinco de Mayo at Alpy, I'm game for going anywhere.
