I want to make a trip down there sometime within the next week I am just wondering,
how big are the jumps in public and what is the snow like.
Thanks NS

i was there like 4 days ago and public was still pretty good. They had a 7 jump line and all of them were probably 25-30 footers and they still had a fun rail section.

depends on the car, look up how many miles it is and figure it out. my guess is its about a 10hr drive from whistler, so probably at least a tank or two each way. prob pushing 200ish dollars, thats what it would be in my car (subaru that gets 27-28mpg)

lol what? its 440 miles. It would probably actually only cost 100-150 for gas at the most (unless you have a jeep that get 8mpg)

Usually they don't start downloading on the mile til august, late july/early august the ski out was about 500yd from the lot, not too bad.

this is mostly true. theres on time really at all just depends on how much snow and when they want to do it. ive seen them dig out a good amount of snow cause they didnt want to deal with it anymore. mostly cause its shitty but some years they could keep it the bottom of the mile for awhile

I was there last week while my kids attended Windells. To me it is the most amazing place on earth, that I've been to, for summer skiing. The beauty is indescribable. The weather conditions can be iffy, just like at Whistler I suppose. Mixture of fog, rain, Bluebird....you just never know til you get up to the top!!! LOTS of snow remaining, and I spent time in the Windells land and public park, and it looked good to me!! I WANT TO GO BACK!!
