Whistler or Blackhomb?

i used to think whistler was alot better with harmony bowl and the terrain park beside harmony near the alpine gondola... but that terrain park is gone so i'm not enjoying my regular harmony express run and finishing it off with jumps.. =p and the easy warm up run (i think pony tail?) every time u hit the mountain at 8 in the morning nicely groomed with 2 inches of new fresh powder.... oh man u just want to bail cuz its so damn nice!

but i'll have to go with blackhomb. 7th heaven, the terrain parks and the width and length of the runs are sweet.

If you look at the shape of the mountains then Whistler is for skiers and Blackcomb is for snowboarders.

Why?

Whistler has more bowls which is great for fresh dumps of snow, but since the runs tend to flatten out a snowboarder gets stuck more often while a skier can skate out of the run.

Blackcomb on the other hand has a continuous downhill pitch so a snowboarder can always gather enough momemtum to keep on moving.

I've been to Whistler-Blackcomb almost 60 times in the last 4 years and only been to the Whistler side about 10 times.

^ yes, u hit it on the nail.

As a snowbaorder, i dont like whistler as much simply because there is far too much unclicking and walking between the bowls which can easily spoil a day of fun while riding.

Blackcomb = not getting stuck as much on the flat sections, plain and simple.
