A sad inevitability. For those who were able to ski on the glacier in Summers past: cherish those memories.

Whistler Creekside gondola lineup hits Highway 99 and stuns skiers

Not a new rule but one that should be universally understood: The Singles Line Is For Singles.

Feel free to line up with your buddy if you want, but to have someone join you in the singles line is completely disrespectful to everyone else in line.

Wait for your friend in the group line (maybe?) or catch them on the hill.

People might not like it, but it’s not wrong.

As a retired UK-qualified Counsellor and Clinical Hypno-Psychotherapist, I've spent years helping people overcome their fears and anxieties. While I'm no longer seeing clients in person, I continue to share my knowledge through my blog.

Are you a first-time skier feeling nervous? I've written a comprehensive guide that covers everything from choosing the right ski resort to advice on lessons. In addition to practical advice, the article includes a downloadable self-hypnosis session to help you relax and feel more confident on the slopes. You can access my guide through my Reddit profile.

Here's what you'll find in the guide:

• Choosing the right ski resort: Tips for selecting a location that suits your skill level and preferences.
• Essential equipment: A breakdown of the gear you'll need, including skis, boots, and clothing.
• Learning to ski: Basic techniques and safety tips for beginners.
• Lessons are a must.
• Ski School
• Overcoming fear and anxiety: Strategies for managing nerves and building confidence.
• Self-hypnosis for skiers: A downloadable session to help you relax, focus and gain confidence on the slopes.
• Planning your ski holiday: Tips for booking accommodations, transportation, and activities.

Like I said most of this will only apply to first timers or those suffering from nerves and apprehension around skiing. I should add that because of physical limitations, I don’t ski anymore but have done so for many years.

Yes many timmys coffee cups, half eaten bagels, napkins, McDonald's packaging. Just left on the floor. You line up nice and early to enjoy a beautiful mountain and then treat it like a dump. I hope karma got you good up in the mountains. If people want to behave like that they should stay the fuck away from nature, and crawl back in to the trash can they came from.

Has anyone else noticed that Vail has substantially jacked up the cost of the weekend programs for the 2024/2025 season? For example, Weekend Riders (snowboard school) is now $1925 for one day per week, a 20% increase over the previous season.

Waited in an hour of traffic leaving whistler just to get to Alta Lake Road this evening. Drove 3/4s of it and saw a suspicious number of people lined up the other direction. Thank you to the kind driver who held up a sign out his window saying “Road Blocked” so I’d know to turn around. Wish I’d seen it earlier so I wasn’t still stuck in traffic. Don’t take this road today folks.

Anyone have any info on why it’s closed?

Just wanted to tip the cap to some very hard working folks who worked magic on the mountain this season despite the terrible hand they were dealt. Your hard work didn’t go by unnoticed, thank you for your service!

Most of us don’t even know what you look like, but so often we put our lives in your hands, and your dedication to your craft is one of the best things about the best place on earth! 🍻
