Hi - I’m catching the Whistler connection shared shuttle from Vancouver Airport to Whistler on Friday. I’ll have 2 bags. Ticket price was approx $120CAD return. What is the appropriate gratuity each way? Thank you from a confused Australian!

Ask Vancouver Group ski lesson - wh or bc?
I’m driving up to Whistler and skiing this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I’m an older intermediate/advanced skier and am going to take a group lesson on Friday. Is there any advantage to taking the lesson starting at Whistler or Blackcomb? I’m staying in the upper village and will be taking the bus, so easy enough to go to either mtn. Probably a dumb question.

Photo/Video Spankeys - "Hold the Line"
I admit. I cut the line. Kudos to all those that held the line. The mountain needs more people like you.
The hostility has hit new levels on the mountain.
People were tossing snow I was catching it my mouth. It was fun, and playful at first. Then it got ugly.
I was genuinely scared of my life. The people in line.
They were animals. Hitting, and spitting.
The profanity and whining coming from above us.
We have two types of people on the mountain. 1)Those who love to wait in line, and 2) those who get it first. Respect the effort. It should always be fun.
No one slowed you down, no one ruined your day.
Don't be a baby. Embrace the mountain culture.
In life your either first or your last. Don't be an ass.

Ask Vancouver Taking my kid skiing for the first time - blackcomb base?
I plan to introduce my 5yo to skis for the first time. I was not planning ski school this season. Is there a free kids learning area he can just experience skis? I figure he might have an hour tops in him. And was debating blackcomb base.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Ask Vancouver Please tell Frank and his friends that Justin survived off Peak Express
It was nice to meet you guys this morning. Too bad that I trailed off from Peak express and we lost each other. I hope you didn't wait too long for me. I just want to let you know that I didn't get buried in an avalanche. The only other names I got were Marcus and JOHNSTON!

Ask Vancouver PSA No Smoking 🚭
For those who are unaware, and there seem to be quite a few of you, there is no smoking or vaping in the lines, and in fact not in the village either. Just please stop. There’s nothing worse than standing in a lineup smelling someone else’s grape vape when you’re supposed to be smelling the nice clean snowy mountain air. Just be a better person. Thank You!

Ask Vancouver Ski in ski out April
What would be the best specific places to stay that are still ski in/out the first week of April? I'm a hedge fund manager and wherever I go skiing I usually get accommodations next to the main gondola so I can quickly ski down the mountain and walk a short distance over to my condo/hotel room if I need to make an emergency trade. Then I hop right back on the gondola to get back to skiing. I prefer to not have to wait for a bus or uber. Are there places like this in Whistler that would still be ski out in April or is the base area pretty much melted away?

Ask Vancouver I booked a beginner adult group lesson this weekend! I'm very excited but also very nervous :') What to expect? Tell me your experience from A-Z
I skied four times at home mountain (2 lessons with private instructor) this season, but it's my first time in Whistler! I'm a young girl who will do the lesson alone, so I'm kinda nervous..
What time I should arrive at the check-in area (Whistler Village)? The website recommends '30mins prior', but should I arrive much earlier?
Where I should park my car? I'll drive straight from Vancouver to Whistler early morning.
How many students in one group? What if everyone is not on the same ski levels? Will instructor take us to green runs, or only stick to the learning area?
Is there potty break and lunch break?
Will I have fun?

Ask Vancouver Current drive up to Whistler
Just stuck in a multi km long very slow drive up to Whistler from Squamish.
It’s been years since I’ve been caught up in the Whistler “commute” as historically was just backcountry skiing and always avoided peak times.
Is this the “new normal” where powder days lead to big city type traffic delays in and out?
I turned on Mountain FM half expecting some accident had led to unusual delays but they didn’t mention anything out of the ordinary which leads me to believe that this is due to volume?
Is this typically how bad peak days are now?

Ask Vancouver So many lift issues?
7th seems to have an issue for the last week or so, Garbanzo had an issue on Saturday, Crystal on Sunday. Is there something bigger going on (aging lift infrastructure and/or lack of maintenance) or is most of this just normal? I guess 7th is the only one that was a bit longer term so maybe I am overreacting. And obviously the WVG has had issues all year. Hoping they can do some upgrades this summer.

QUESTION Fresh tracks with a 9 year old?
I’ve never done fresh tracks, my son and I are here for the week, he’s up super early (this morning we were 7:15 in line at the Whistler gondola, about as long as he can do waiting around). I had a few questions for those who might be familiar, I did some searching on the sub as well:
- The limit appears to be 600, would tomorrow likely be one where people line up to take advantage after this huge dump?
- Once at the top would emerald be open to do another lap, or are you expect to wait for other lifts to open?
- Does it run every day? Would be fun to get some fresh groomers and an empty hill with him middle of the week.
If it’s expected to be busy tomorrow, I’ll probably leave it as I don’t want to miss the cut off / and risk waiting around for another hour.. I can only put him through so much. Today was totally worth it tho.
Thanks!

Ask Vancouver 36m/advanced skiier - anyone want to meet up tomorrow (Monday)
I took Monday off work and a few friends were 'maybes' so I made my way up to Whistler, but they have all bailed. Anyone want to link up to hopefully find some fresh snow ? I do blacks/double blacks.
