Been to Whistler a couple of times and both times went backcountry in a heli...it was amazing!

The runs do last forever. There's over a mile of vertical drop compared to Mt High's 2 thousand some feet.

haha, that's a little too hardcore for me. I'll stick with my jumps at bear mtn. How often do you guys go? I would love to do a backcountry run at whistler, esp out of a heli.

I used to go a few times a week when there's good conditions locally and a trip or two to mammoth or tahoe each season. It should be easy to get a few or bunch of people to share a van and cabin or room...all I need is enough space for a sleeping bag and a hot shower and I'll go pretty much anywhere.

AMEN to that!!

last season was actually my first season! Fell in love with it and started going every week. Mostly to the local spots, MtHigh and Bear, but I did manage to plan a trip to Tahoe and that was awesome. I learn how to hit up the boxes and rails(boardslide,50/50) and landed my first 180back off a jump on the last day! So i cant wait to get this season started, hopefully get FS down!

I went boarding a few times, and found it too painful. I am back to being a skier, and I still love it after 37 years.

Mammothreefer, we have a couple friends who work the mountain, one in kids ski school, the other lift maintenance. What do you do there?
