Can she shop?
I expect you will find lots of people
there that do ski.

Probably. It can be foggy anytime.
March is better for sunshine.

If you want a cheaper room, go to salt lake city.

That's an obvious question. Here's a partial answer: It's spring and
only the top half of the mountain is open. You spend the AM on Whistler
and decide to spend the afternoon on Blackcomb. As it is now, you have
to download to the base and then take a gondola up to the *bottom* of
the skiable terrain, spending time on *two* gondolas that gain no
elevation. The new thing might save some time.

That said, it still seems like a waste of lift capacity. But they don't
build this kind of stuff for me.

My wife went to the dump and watched eagles and bears while I skied.
She's more eager to go back than I am.

Hey, that's tough ! How could you expect him to figure that out when he
doesn't know the difference between truth and lies. :)

Nope. No lies here, or perjury. Ever.
