Why? I skied Jackson Hole over New Year and despite the locals saying
it was "busy" I can't remember more than 15 or so people in a lift
queue on one day, most days it was ski straight onto the chair!

*******! :O)
Did you do the Corbett's Couloir or whatever it is called? Is it as hard
as they say?

No I didn't, there was zero vis at the top when there was fresh snow
around. The "hard" bit is the drop in, if you make that the rest of the run
looks fine, you can cut into the bottom of it and it's a nice powder field!

cheers,

greg

Sorry, I was just thinking about Whistle when I said that - other places
in BC (and JH it seems) do not suffer the same problems. Thanks for the
correction.

I spent the season in Whistler last year, :-) and although it is usually
quiet compared to European resorts it did get quite big (1/2 hour+) queues
at times. They were usually on the weekends when the locals from Vancouver
come up, and the nice new snow days always seemed to coincide with the
weekends:-( The queues mostly just appeared when the snow had just fallen
/ lifts opened, at other times what queues there were were very reasonable.
