Whistler vs. Muir this weekend? was created by lernr
I was wondering if it's a good idea to drive to Whistler for the weekend?
Seems some lifts are open and webcams show snow.

Trying to decide between this and a Muir snowfield day.

Tips / advice greatly appreciated

Don't think lifts are open for skiing at the moment?

This is why I am asking. Maybe I can carry the skis / board on the lift, then skin up from there? Back home the gondola has special slots for 6 or 8 (can't remember exact number) pairs of skis on the outside. If this is the same, I don't see why they would care if I stick my skis there or not.

The real question is: is the snow at Whistler worth it at this time or am I better off sticking with Muir. Joedabaker reported a great day on Muir last weekend, and I don't 'have' to go to Whistler.

I thought someone here would know :)

I don't think they'l let you carry skis on the lifts that are running for just sightseeing?

Call WB and check before going?

Calling makes too much sense and is too easy :)

Will do!

Cheers

Summer skiing is June 19 to July 25, they run lifts on the Horstman Glacier. I also don't think that they otherwise let skis up the lifts in the summer.
