I haven't bought anything, I don't need anything, but there's loads that I want. The only thing stopping me is lack of dosh! :roll:

That's where I learned to ski. I had a fab time but I can't help you as I was a little girl and it was over 30 years ago!

I might have a go at walking home from the pub instead of cabbing it...at some point. :roll:

It's never happened to me but I have a vague recollection of something similar happening in Scotland last season.

At those prices surely it's cheaper to fly! :shock:

All seems good to me. I am doing this post on the io4.

Lessons are a must in my opinion for all the reasons already discussed and the TO packages have always proven to be very good value in my experience. If you go to the resort website and add up the individual costa for lift pass, ski hire and lessons, my guess is the TO price for the package will be cheaper.
I would recommend a few 2 hour sessions at a dry slope to get all the mundane bits out of the way like how to put on your boots and skis, how to get up after a fall, and how to stop and start etc. (Doing these things on the mountain in a group, make for very cold fingers and toes, while you're hanging around alot waiting for each member of the group to have their turn.) If you've had a few lessons before hand, you can then get straight in to the 'learning to ski bits' that are fun. :wink: |

Blackcomb Glacier, Whistler, offers summer glacier skiing.
I've never been there in the summer myself so I can't advise you on what it's like. I have been in the winter and it was great! Winter opening times are from late November until mid June! |
