8:15 - Morning Meet up, same place, Excalibur Gondola

11:15 -Rendevous, restaurant at the top of Blackcomb tomorrow morning

9:30 to 10:00 AM - some of us are going for breakfast at the Crystal Hut tomorrow morning if it's open and we will show up at lunch after it also but probably not eat lunch or stop too long





March 9, 2017 - Possible morning meet up change.

Some of us are seeing if we can buy fresh track tickets ($21.00) all you can eat breakfast, up the Whistler Gondola at 7:15 am and first corduroy tracks. This is a heads up as that will mean the morning meet up will be up top of the Whistler Gondola at 9:15 am. This is subject to change if we can't get the tickets.

Just got a few pics from après today, the whole pack is coming out on the hill tomorrow!

I'm thinking of skiing with a fast group in the morning and the intermediates in the afternoon, take advantage whatever sun I can.

The shot of Da Boyz is pretty cool. It almost looks like they're strutting.

To be fair, they did start jumping through an actual ring of fire a little later.

I must admit, I was a little underwhelmed by the show but impressed with the fire ring.
For those who didn't know about it, there are some youtube videos of previous shows.
