I love having a good handle on the Red Chair for powder days when the top isn't open...you can find some creamy and generally deeper, albeit wetter, stuff

vds, christmas trees,

Xmas trees are the trees you come to after traversing onto the ridge that separates West Bowl and Whistler Bowl right? The stunted trees right at treeline... So you end up in West Bowl and on HWY-86? You get there below West Cirque? I've heard people refer to Xmas Trees on Blackcomb so it's confusing to me.

i love CBC trees and the burnt out section on crystal ridge. dropping out of secret bowl is fun too

on whistler, if you want mellow fun trees go ski in symphony on a pow day. frog hollow, west bowl, khyber are great. last year we ended up in this creek in the khyber that was like a half pipe. it was amazing. perfect walls and tree over hangs etc. soooo much fun. I don't know exactly how to get to it but it probably isn't filled in yet. but if anyone ever goes in there, you will know exactly what i'm talking about. just don't get sucked into cheakamus.

christmas trees for sure, jersey cream wall, chainsaw ridge, spines above harmony chair that drop you into the lower saddle (not sure what that zone is officially called)

The top 1/3rd of Khybers was a lot of fun over christmas and before new years before the snowpack got all fucky. Surprisingly good coverage due to winds blowing in the right direction.

When it comes to drops, there's a good spot off Crystal Chair on Blackcomb. It's the run you kinda have to hike in for to get all of it, and dumps you out on the road to Excelerator, not sure what the run's called but there's some decently big, fun drops in there. Also off Jersey Cream in that cliff section right of the lodge there's a decent sized drop with a good landing and a solid takeoff.
What are some other good cliff/ drop areas of Whistler, that's what I've been looking for lately.

You are talking about Fraggle Rock on Crystal (where you bomb into a little uphill and then sidestep up).

On Whistler: Peak chair, everywhere you look. Also there are some nice pillow drops in Gunbarrels off Harmony ridge, some cliffs in Sun Bowl chutes, also above Pika's (can get there from the top of T-bar).
