So I'm heading out West to Whistler on Tuesday and I was just wondering if you guys have any suggestion on particular areas to ski. Its a big two mountains and some specific areas would be great.

Thanks.

when the snow is good, jersey cream bowl is my favorite. The area that drops from the top of harmony via really short hike is fun, too.

there is so much amazing shit up in harmony on whistler, sun bowl is amazing, i got first tracks on that earlier in the season (my tall tee was draggin in the powpow) umm, there parks are super fun, i always go to the habitat park, its got a solid jump line and lots on intermediate features, a few large, if want huge features go to the hl park on blackcomb, but u need a park pass for that (15$ i believe)

if your patient (its hard i know) you can come out for the ski and board festival. the big names throwin big, tones of comps, tones of concerts at the base of whistler and booths everywhere to go around to. the downside is the amount of people, gets alittle packed cause the event is so sick.

you're gonna get some sun so getting an HL park pass would be a lot of fun if you're coming from a super tiny hill.
