I go boarding once a week at whistler during the season. It is fucking unbelievable! I usually go mid-week when it is not so busy and leave Vancouver early in the morning. Generally only takes me 1 hour to get up there in the S4.
The back bowls are INSANE!!!! Nothing like gliding over some fresh powder!

P.S. Here's a tip if you pick up your pass at 7-11 you save $10 off your day pass. I know that's not much but it saves me enough for Mcdonald's breakie and Coffee at Tim Hortons on the way up! I look so funny when I walk into 7-11 with all my equipment on and order a ski pass!
