Please e-mail back ASAP if you are interested so I can hold a spot for you and start making condo plans. Also forward on to friends that might be interested. We have done this for the past 9 years and end up with 12 - 18 people. It is a blast - no matter what the weather is like!
Here are the details for the ski trip to Whistler, Friday - Sunday, April 17 - 19. The plan is to carpool up there on Thursday or Friday after work.

Accommodations

We have reserved first condo at a place called Snowgoose, on the Blackcomb Bench. . http://www.alluradirect.com/17. . Directions and details found at this link. - - This picked because it is BIG, 1,700 sq ft, 3 bd, 3 ba. It is also on the free bus route. The condo has a full kitchen with all the basic cooking gear, and all beds have sheets, blankets and towels for the baths (basically set up as if you were staying at a hotel).

* Plans are to reserve a 2nd and 3rd condo if needed.

What you will want to bring:
- bathing suite for the Jacuzzi
- extra towel (just in case others get greedy and use more than their one towel)
- ski and snowboard gear

Why should you go? [1] It is a great way to start the season off.
[2] The snow is always good. They always are open for the weekend before, Thanksgiving.
[3] No conflicts that weekend for most. Thanksgiving was the week before, and all of the Christmas parties don't start until the next weekend.
[4] No lines and cheep rates. There is a two week period between the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays where everything is discounted.
[5] Usually special events going on to draw people up early in the season.
[6] Non-stop Jacuzzi, Nightlife and Parties. So even if you are a non skier it is a great trip.
....and lift passes are often as low as $26 USD!!!! C'mon up! ---
