Whistler... without a doubt

second to that 3 Valleys take it for me

if you're going to combine it with a Stag and you want to get messy then Sauze D'oulx in Italy is good, its part of the Milky Way ski area... spent a week there in the mid 90's and can't remember a thing  :lipsrsealed:

I must admit... mixing lots of drinking and going down a mountain on a plank of wood is probably not the greatest idea, it does kill 2 birds with one stone  :grin:

I think whistler may be a good option.... could split the holiday with 3/4 days of boarding and 3/4 days in Vancouver!


WHat made whistler stand out guy??

Whistler is an awesome resort and Vancouver is a really cool city, for a stag that would be absolutely perfect :cool:

you'd need to do 10 days to really enjoy BC (british columbia) and really make the time worth it..

Whistler just has a massive ski area, the snow quality is superb and the set-up is second-to-none.. has a complete mix of runs and parks and lots of bars and restaurants

Vancouver is an awesome city... you could catch a Nucks hockey game if you book in advance  :smiley:

Two of my mates liked it so much they went back and stayed for six months.. one of them is still there 12 years later!

Have been to Vancouver for before, was there for about 3 weeks and loved it!! Although I was only on my early teens at the time.

I have family there and my cousin is a HUGE Nucks fan by the sound of his FB updates. Think this one is strong possibility  :cool:


Although gettting 15 others to agree on the budget is another story  :undecided:

you might be able to swing a good deal if there are 15 of you, staying in a condo will help bring the initial cost down

Why not do lake Tahoe then las Vegas  :cool:

That's what me and missus are looking at doing.

Although most combined packages are whistled/ blackcombe and las Vegas.

Can't wait to go boarding. Would love to do a season over in Canada  :sad:
