They do own West on Granville street in Vancouver, as well as CinCin and
Blue Water Cafe.

Back on the steak thing, we actually didn't know it was going to be that
much, which is why I added the price warning with my recommendation. The
tenderloin was $38, the ribeye $48, but there was no price on the NY. And
having had a few cocktails, we didn't think to ask. We just figured it would
be in the same range as the others. It was Kobe steak, which is really hard
to find outside Japan (that and the absence of a price on the menu should
have been a clue). We were pretty surprised when we got the bill.
It's not like I'm lighting cigars with hundred dollar bills here. I'm just
trying to pass on the lesson learned.

Aha! You didn't say it was Kobe beef. That should have clued you in
right away. In the rare instances that I find Kobe beef on the menu
of restaurants in NYC, it's usually US$75-100, which is something like
500 canuckbucks. (Just kidding, CAN$100-130.) Hmmm, looks like the
falling dollar isn't making Whistler to be the bargin it was the past
couple years.
(On a completely unrelated sidenote, Ouest in NYC, while not owned by
the same group, is certainly one of my favorite restaurants. I
recommend it highly.)

It wasn't all that crowded when I lived there back in 83-84. I had just
graduated from high school and skiing was my life, but I'd never skiid
anywhere outside Oregon. After reading an article in Skiing mag about Vail I
packed up the boards and drove out there, got a job in the first few days at
McDonalds and lived in employee housing. The village was expensive, but with
roomates who were ski bums as well we learned how to make do.
Moving away from home to pursue what I loved with no job certainty was one
of the best moves I've ever made. I had one of the funnest years of my life
living in Vail, and the skiing was some of the best I've ever seen. I'd do
it all over again in a heartbeat. If that makes me nuts, so be it.

Well, you have to be nuts to go to the top of a mountain, strap boards
on your feet, and slide down on the ice and snow at breakneck speed.

Welcome to the asylum, Bill.

I'm heading to Whislter in a few weeks. I'm looking for
recommendations for places to eat. I'm interested in both formal and
casual restaurants.

Thanks in advance,

John
