3D Map of Whistler

SO GOOD!

I'm probably late on this, but anyhow, now I can drool over what I wanna hit while slacking off at work!

I really like this. I am heading out there on Friday and it's nice to be able to scope out some lines and areas that look interesting vs trying to go blindly around that mountain.

Exactly! Wish more mountains had this. I guess its a lot of work to put together.
Whistler advice: Get on it early! Do the $15 first tracks buffet breakfast if you can, you get gondola up before its open and get to drop before everyone else

Especially important if its 15cm plus

Yeah hopefully its good. Last time I was there it was kind of crappy. Last day was great, but that went by too fast.

I'm a fair bit more advanced this time, so atleast if there isn't new snow we can find some off-piste stuff.

Having never been outside the Northeast, this map really puts things into perspective. I need to get out of here.

This coming week is looking pretty good. Ive had a lot of good pow days in the last two seasons, but no real epic deep pow days. Hopefully coming up!
