i think she means the mtn staff.... newb
u can get ur spirit passes before then possibly if ur manager is on the ball. cuz i dont think the chamber has had its meeting yet with all the businesses. the mtn has caught a lot of ppl off guard with this surprising but welcome news. but im with the other dude... ill wait til its open everyday and there arent 1000 ppl crammed onto 2 lifts skiing 2 runs..
oh and no there will probably not be a park the first weekend.. nows a good time to learn how to ski.

my 4x4 better work by then! I don't know how much whistler got last night, but I heard baker got 70cm. Even if we were half that it'd be amazing.

According to the ski club guys it should be okay if you bring your receipt from when you signed up, that was their plan anyway... I emailed the pass dept at whis about it this morning but obviously haven't heard anything back yet.

Dear JD,
Thank you for choosing Whistler Blackcomb.
You can bring your pink receipt to the Blackcomb Daylodge at the base of the Wizard Chairlift on Saturday where will have two check ins for 4Buy4 passholders. If we have processed your application then we will issue your pass or give you a day ticket so you can get up. You must bring your receipt, student id and drivers license or another form of picture id with your birthdate like a passport.
I hope this information is helpful.
Sincerely,
Christine
Whistler Blackcomb Reservation Ctr

Email from whistler lady about 4x4's
~We are definately opening....for those who have signed up early, and I picked up
the forms last week....we have now processed the passes. For all the
application forms I have picked up since last Friday, or the one's that I've not
picked up....I will arrange to pick most of them up by the end of this week.
However, it doesn't mean they will be processed.
Here's the plan:
1. Encourage students to bring their proof of purchase (the pink slip).
2. If their pass has not been processed, we may end up charging them for the 1st
day but will refund them as soon as the pass has been processed.
Either way, we will take care of them. Obviously, we will do our best under
these circumstances. It's a surprise to us all....but we are happy.~

you guys really think it'll be that bad? I was figuring you'd AT LEAST be able to lap jersey cream and hit a few rales or somthing

Also I doubt any tourist's had plans to come up and ski this weekend, I figure it'll only be vancouver and seattle day trippers and locals

i think it will be sweet.
there will at least be 100cm of natural snow, plus man made.
4 chairs or so will be open.
no tourists will be there. a lot of locals ive talked to wont even be there because they dont have passes, want to save their new gear, are stinky aussies, and just aint hardcore enough.
spirit passes will be available if your managers are on top of their game. 72 hours after you get the email you got it.
my manager hasnt sent the stuff in yet though. so i need to buy a lift ticket
