There is a Thai place at the Blackcomb base that is OK if you like
Thai. Pretty informal and not too expensive.

Thank you! That was driving me crazy trying to remember..... Too many
Sing Ha last time I was there maybe.

Since a reservation is pretty much required, there must be a lot of other
people that are nuts as well.

When I lived in Vail at the age of 18 back in the early 80's, I would have
thought this nuts too. My roomates and I would eat beans and rice to be able
to afford a season pass 'cause skiing was more important than eating.

Spending some money on a nice meal with a good group of friends is worth
more to me now, and it's not such a blow to the pocketbook now that I'm all
grown up (or at least pretend to be for my day job).

Some people won't spend more than $10 on a bottle of wine. Some will spend
thousands. Most of us are somewhere in between depending on our priorities
and means.

Even in Canadian dollars, I have to ask: ARE YOU BLOODY NUTS!

Geezus, but skiing has really lost it's way since the days of sleeping
on the Squaw Valley church pews (free and WARM) and skiing KT22 the day
after a storm for $5, while living on beer, cheese, and a loaf of
French...

Caramaba. When I go out with locals (and I know plenty) that's their choice
half the time.

I thougth the only thing you knew plenty about was being a pathetic
little man with a tiny penis?

Well, yeah. There are lots of people who are so nutty that they go
somewhere that's both crowded and expensive. Ever been to Vail?


When I lived in Vail...

Ok. That explains things a bit.

Don't be too nasty, Walt - he's apparently learned his lesson and moved
on...

Two other points:
Dollars don't equal good food, not even the majority of the time, in my
experience. No matter what I pay, I can't find better Calamari than I
had in an all night dive in Sitges in 1970.
And a good $10 bottle of Chilean wine is likely to drink better than
even a 1947 Mouton-Rothschild Pauillac, if the later hasn't been
properly cared for.

What were the prices like?

Splitz on the Main Street does damn fine burgers, made to order with all
the extras.

Monk's Grill at Blackcomb base does a very nice steak, it's pretty chi-
chi, but not as spendy as Araxi.

Crepe Montagne in the Market Pavillion on the Main Street does a decent
fondue - pretty much essential ski fare. It's quite cheap, but also
pretty small, so if it's busy you'll need to wait for a table.

Of course, the Crystal Lounge for wings, Tapleys for nachos and Merlins
for post ski burgers and beers and music.

Have fun, not in the slightest bit envious of you

Sorry. It's been three days since I've skied, so I'm getting a bit
testy.

Plus, reading back the thread, I've actually been to the restaurant in
question (Araxi) so it's not like I'm exactly without sin here.

Araxi's a nice place. I'd go there again. But I wouldn't order the
most expensive thing on the menu.
