I don't think I have ever been there. My family and I go cross country skiing in the winter, but we arn't going this year.
I have not been there. When I was younger my parents, me and my older sister went skiing at Blue Mountain but last time I went skiing I was about three years old so I forget pretty much everyting about skiing.
Yes funnily I have been to whistler blackcomb when I was little. No I do not ski or snow board but I will start soon I hope, but I do extreme sled ( you grab a sled and go to this impossibly high hill and slide down (on you know those ones that are made up of foam or something) the hill and get to the bottom I hope) I like it because it helps my conscience feel scared at times cause sometimes you fall off and land flat on your face.
Never been there. Have never went skiing or snowboarding. What I most like about snowboarding/skiing is the amount of snow popping of the ground and blowing in your face.
I also like going down the hill really fast and then at the end try to stop but fall. One time I saved myself from crashing into a group of people. I ended up right in front of them. They clapped!!
I have a new pair of 2011 twin tip skiis. I have went skiing for the last 4 years at glen eden ski resort. i have also went to blue mountain, mt tramblough and many other places, also I could easily handle their black diamonds because I have ski skillage! btw i have never went to blackcomb ( also, anyone who wants to snowboard will be quite ticked once they brake there ceasters
Our witw is Blackcomb ski resort in whistler BC. Its long and lat are 50° latitude, 122° longitude. It has over 8171 acres of land and with an average snowfall of 469 inches a year this ski resort isn’t the place for summer vacationers. There are 37 high speed chair lifts to get you up the mountain, the highest one up being 7,494 feet up, and there is an average per hour of 65,507 people using them in that time! One of its biggest historical feats was when there were over 2,180,000 people there in 1999! When it is February or December it can easily be -12 but when its march or may… well it’s still -8 but at least it’s better than -12. The resort was opened in 1966 and it had the largest (survivable) vertical drop ever! Also tomorrow on 12/12/2012 the resort opens! Another fact is that Blackcomb completes the longest continuous lift system in the world!
