They closed the solar coaster because they have to move the drive station at the top down a bit to make room for the new peak to peak tramola. So it looks like the route to the camps will be Excalibur-Excelerator-Glacier Express.

Uhh, yes it does. Your name is ONTARIORIPPER. My name is Khyber.Pass. I am from Whistler. Now if you think that the fact that the Glacier quad brings you to a midpoint between both t-bars, with the Showcase to the right of the chair, and Horstman a hundred meters down the hill, then you have a very poorly defined idea of what it means to be brought within proximity of a t-bar, given that the three points are in an equidistant triangle. But let the map speak for itself:

so you get off glacier, and one t-bar is like directly right of you, and the other one, is down a hill right behing you.... that seems like its dropping you off at both t-bars to me

You're a fucking dumb ass. HE LIVES THERE omg you've been there for summer! they never run the glaicer one in the summer bro, they run the solar one or whatever that goes to the top. Give up.

Yes, of course there is a cat track from top of Glacier to bottom of Showcase. You get off the chair, go skiier's right, and there's the t-bar. But all you have to do is go DOWN 100 meters and you are at Horstman T. I mean WTF, you never noticed that? Anyway, what's the point. While you get lost in yer confused geography of the summer glacier, I'll be hiking Corona Bowl, Hollywood Ridge & Decker. If you know where that is, then let's meet up at Cabin 3 on the Spearhead Traverse and fight it out mano y mano.

To the dude who talked about Solar Coaster, that runs mid-mountain (other side of the mountain,in fact) and brings you up to Rendezvous.

It depends summer to summer what chairs they use w/ busses to get you up. It used to be Wizard/Solar/ bus to Seventh, but the past few years they've also usedB/C Gondola, buses to Glacier.

Whistler and Blackcomb are located right next to each other. Both mountains have great coverage...

OK. Yes you hike back then.. yes you do that. Me, I will simply dip under the fence half way down the park, head skiier's right and ski right up to the Glacier quad download like the HNers can. You can hike. After all, Darwin has to come into play sometime..

*lol*

Dude it's a lost point ..
