I've been meaning to jump in here, but have been really busy.
At least you've made the right decision.
While I haven't been to the other 2 places, I did go to whistler one time last year & just happened to time it perfect.
Haha, and I do mean perfect. My eye's are tearing up thinking about it.
A big tip.
Whistler has an early bird fresh trax ticket you can buy .
For those absolutely perfect days.
Limited amount, you gotta get there early.
They put you on top of the mountain @ like 6:30am.
2 hours before the rest of the masses.
Have a little boo here.

I convinced another kid from this forum 18 years old, to move to whistler.
Without any connections he up & moved there from Toronto.
Then I told him to buy a Dupraz, which he did.
I rode with him up until a bout a month ago.
He was so sad he had to go back home. Hahaha
I talked to him about a week ago, his whole world is figuring how to get back there.
He'll be moving back again this winter.
He probably needs a roommate hahaha
Be pretty nice having a kid live in whistler lol
You'd prolly see him quite a bit I'd imagine.
With that exchange rate, haha yup you guys could be real buddy's.
TT
