Whistler in early/late March, or Tahoe?
Hi
planning another jaunt across the pond [from Scotland]. I did Colorado a couple of years back, and this time I'm pretty set on Whistler with Tahoe running a close second. My concern about Whistler though is the weather/snow, as I've heard it can get foggy and the snow gets heavy. When's the better chance of having good weather/snow - early March or late March? If I want to ski mush in the fog I can do plenty of that 80 miles up the road here in Scotland without flying 4000 miles. Is the risk of bad weather/snow in March enough for anyone to think Tahoe's a better bet? Other attraction of Tahoe is I could do a different area every day [I cover a lot of miles and get bored easily], not sure how much variety/size there is at Whistler - sure its big for North America but it's not "European-big". Current attraction of Whistler is the transfer, as I'll be using up some air-miles and I can get flights to Vancouver or SF, but not Reno, so Tahoe would be a drive from SF. (Can't get a free flight to SLC either, to that was Utah out). Anyone any idea of relative costs too? The Pound/US Dollar is great for us Brits right now, and having been to the States many times over the last 20 years I know what my pound/dollar will buy. Never been to Canada though, so interested in the relative costs of Whistler versus Tahoe. Any any other comments gratefully received. I should maybe add that as this is my annual break from the wife and kids so I go to ski [early to bed, hit the slopes early] so relative merits of nightlife and non-skiing activities has no real interest. Thanks Willie |
