Tom,
Parlor is a respected long term contributor and provider of stoke and doesn't shill his chalet.
I used to give Non Stop the benefit of the doubt as the punters I met in Fernie seemed to like you enough and there was no doubt you had access to some of the top trainers at the ski school but coming here and spamming under both your log-ins is a way to lose goodwill rapidly. Well done.

Some good info there Tom.
What is the steepest run in N America?

I forgot to reply to this thread. The reason I called Tom out as SPAM was he posted the same thing on TGR and Dark Summer in the same morning. I think it was less selling spam and more of a google enhancing tactic.

parlor, Yeah I suspected as much but still checked out the link so the joke's on me. To be fair the page had some useful info for the Whistler neophyte that could be helpful to those who don't want the NS treatment but I've got to question these dubious search engine boosting tictacs- is their business looking a bit low on bookings this year having stretched the no of places they run course ? 
Under his other log-in pretty much everything has been a direct plug - presumably that was banned so he's now back under another.

Some interesting debate going on here!
The intention was not to spam, but to provide some genuinely interesting information on doing a season in Whistler. The post was written by a friend of ours who has spent two seasons in Whistler and said that he would provide a guide for anyone going out there. We thought it would be helpful to anyone going out.
If you think this is plugging our courses then I respect your opinion, since there is no mention of our courses on the post I am not sure I totally agree.
Anyway, till the next post
Tom

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Am I right in thinking you might have a contender not unadjacent to somewhere you have lived beginning with A?

If you mean A-Basin, then no.
I thought the steepest in-bounds 'runs' in N America were at Crested Butte in Colorado.
Interested to hear if I'm right or wrong. Most probably the latter.
Or did you mean Alta?
|

You know it makes sense.
|
I thought there were some steep chutes at A basin that technically made the lift map? I guess the point is that the originally claim is a bit absurd even if WB promote Couloir Extreme (formerly Saudan) as such. Everywhere of any sunstance in the US/Canada has inbounds cliffs and "runs" which are skied with mandatory airs so 90 deg can't really be topped
But then Tom knows all this so isn't joining the debate.

There's a couple of other dodgy claims in there . . .
With the ever increasing unpredictability of European snowfall accumulation it seems where the Tarentaise region is losing, the Coastal Range (the range of mountains Whistler lies in, contrary to popular belief it is not in the Rockies or even the Cascades) is winning!
Only a couple of years ago Whistler had a disaster of a season.
Canada is famous for its champagne powder and there are few places where this is more evident than Whistler itself.
Whistler is famous for it's variable conditions (including lots of powder for the last couple of seasons) but it also frequently rains at lower levels and the slush run back to base.
And I'm a fan of Whistler !

Hey all,
Just a quick addition to this.
I've recently setup a free wiki about doing a season in whistler - I making no money from this I just think there is a need for a hype free website for posting information about whistler.
At the moment no logins are required - so please post anything useful information you have about Whistler - good , bad and ugly!
