So I want to go to Whistler in late march, but money is a very big issue, so i dont think i will be able to go. but i was thinking that maybe Washington, could offer good skiing that would be less expensive. Anybody want to help me out with traveling from seattle, which place i should hit up (I was thinking Baker), and if you think Whistler wouldn't be that expensive?
Thanks

Baker is going to be a long drive from Seattle, but it does have the best snow in WA, so it could be worth it. I'd look for a condo maybe in Crystal? Theres a hotel at Snoqualmie, but you wont be amazed with the skiing there... and theres nothing at Stevens or Baker in terms of accomodations, unless you can find a bed and breakfast in a nearby town. But from Seattle, good skiing is at least 2 hours away usually.

Don't hate because you broke your leg there. Just be happy you can still walk and ski next year.
