      A friend of mine lives by Whistler and told me to cancel the trip. He said they have no snow and conditions are better in the east coast right now. Just my luck. I'm headed to the snow mecca and the conditions are horrible.

        You could just come to Portland instead.  You could drop in at the Skogg gym with me, which will mitigate some of the drinking we'd do with Giles.

          Whistler and Portland are nice.  Aren't you going to see your sister in Calgary (I think)? Short flight from Vancouver, driving not recommended at this time of the year.

          Many different kinds of beer in Vancouver and Portland.  Don't forget the local coffee shops.
          If in Portland, don't forget to try BlueStar donut (if donut is your thing).  Never been to Voodoo donuts (very famous), but BlueStar is pretty good.  Give their chicken on a donut a try, it is weird, but it is an experience.  Enjoy the trip.

          Completely agree. BlueStar over VooDoo any day… and I'm friends with VooDoo's owner, so that's saying something.

            Just route your itineraries through Colorado, we've been getting hammered with snow.

                    A recommendation if you and Paula like a good wine. try Rombauer Zinfandel for the red and Chardonay for the white. I usually don't like white wine, but this is a great one, and the Zin is great as well. From a Napa Valley winery.

                        Whistler is good , it's the other local mountains that are bone dry here .

                            Whistler only has a 1.5 meter base at mid mountain right now. I wouldn't bring anything you don't want damaged

                              Daniel I live in the East Coast I will take a 60" base all day long. Remember us east coasters are skiing boiler plate.

                                Oh I know man, I just say it because a lot of off piste stuff will have exposure to rocks and some trees still until you get over 2m for base. You will find lots of fun stuff to ride still, but powder doesn't seem to be in the cards for this year. I'm hoping for more snow for you guys though. Whistler posts 12hr to 7 day snowfall on their site, so you will be able to have a good idea of what skis to bring with that info and the forecast before you come

                                    The interesting thing is that Paula only needed one bag. Three of those are Giles' boots.

                                      I'm seriously considering bringing an empty suitcase, so I can pack it full of beer to take home with me.

                                          The Whistler area has some fine forest, valley, and mountain hikes–even in winter. And you get away from it all....
