Whistler Peak to Peak Gondola
 
How many think this thing will really open this winter? if It does I
want to go although I don't have anyone to go with. My wife does not
ski.
I think mid February is the best time for avoiding the rain, no?

It costs a :LOT for singles.

Why would I spend time on a gondola that
gains no elevation.

Can she shop?
I expect you will find lots of people
there that do ski.

Probably. It can be foggy anytime.
March is better for sunshine.

If you want a cheaper room, go to salt lake city.

That's an obvious question. Here's a partial answer: It's spring and
only the top half of the mountain is open. You spend the AM on Whistler
and decide to spend the afternoon on Blackcomb. As it is now, you have
to download to the base and then take a gondola up to the *bottom* of
the skiable terrain, spending time on *two* gondolas that gain no
elevation. The new thing might save some time.

That said, it still seems like a waste of lift capacity. But they don't
build this kind of stuff for me.

My wife went to the dump and watched eagles and bears while I skied.
She's more eager to go back than I am.

The Peak to Peak gondola is scheduled to open in December 2008, not
this coming winter.

"WHISTLER, BC, April 17, 2007 - Whistler Blackcomb, a mountain resort
already renowned for daring innovation, has announced its boldest move
yet with the construction of the Peak to Peak Gondola, for completion
December 2008. The two mountains will be united by a gondola that will
set world records for length and height while providing an unmatched
experience for winter and summer resort guests."

It's a marketing thing, not a skiing thing.
I ski top 1 on day 1 and top 2 on day 2.
There's plenty of places to go, and the
weather is too variable to schedule a
one-day trip anyway.

My wife went to the dump and watched eagles and bears while I skied.


My wife signed for a snowshoe outing
and had a great time.

She's more eager to go back than I am.


I hear you.
I think I've had about enough of those winter-disney crowds.

Tourist ride. They will make more money off it in the summer than the
winter. I highly doubt many skiers will use it: I sure as hell
won't. Why bother? Plenty to do on each mountain.

The more **** they put in Whistler to distract the tourists, the
better. That new lift on Whistler this year kept the crowds WAY down
on the Peak chair compared to before, IMO.

Didn't get a chance to ski it, down for a couple days when I was up.
They could have put some money into upgrading the Peak to a six
pack.....along with Harmony. Crowds have gotten really bad the last
five years, I pretty much only ski there early and late.

You think 6-packs reduce crowd levels?

They reduce lines, you dumb**** ****. Upper Whistler has plenty of
room to spread out. Increased capacity is actually needed there.
You remember Whistler, eh? Lower mountain was in great shape the time
I embarassed your fat ass in a downhill race. You sure talked a lot
of **** for someone who wasn't even within view at the finish....and
you can see half a mile up that hill.
Nice to remind you.

Typical of a stalking usenet wack job like Kerrison: defame people,
take cheap shots, and kill file the target of their stalking so they
don't have to respond to their lies being exposed. Bob Thompson is
another prime example of this deranged, sick, pathetic, laughable
tactic.
Typical of an alcoholic psychopath, Kerrison avoids any truth that
challenges her defenses while attacking the bearers of the truth: the
sad truth is that she is a vile human being, a drunken drug using
stalker, a criminal, and a pathological liar. She hates herself for
good reason: she is a truly loathesome ****.

Luckily, he's the only one. It's not a very nice way to talk to his newest,
bestest friend Andy Pandy though, is it? I thought they liked each other.
Calling Andy Pandy an alcoholic psychopath isn't very friendly. I'm sure
he's not, just a sad little stalker boi.

who nine years after she was exposed as a thief and a fraud is still

I certainly know the difference. When you post, you lie. See above.
When you lie to the cops and a judge, you commit perjury. See your
letter to Det. Leanne Shirey, who suborned your perjury.
Sad that there really is no hope of improval in your case: when freaks
get as old as you, they pretty much stay asshole until they die. You
truly are pathetic. Laughable. Transparent in your joy when you lie.

Holy ****, freak. You lie like you breathe, you lie in this post, you
lied to the cops, you committed perjury, you participated in a
criminal conspiracy that deliberately lied to the judge. Facts.
Outright, verifiable facts. And then you lie about it again. Typical
of a pathological liar: when exposed, lie and lie and lie some more.
Typical of an rsa posted....and a chicken**** cowardly dickless freak
who hid behind the cops and a skirt and committed felonies over a
stupid newsgroup.

despicable, how vile, how typical.
