Is the TOW open during the week?
Garbo is only open on weekends now. I figure the TOW would be the same.

Anyone know when TOW shuts down for the season??

If not, I'll call guest services and see what they say. I've not been up to use my 1 shot pass for TOW yet this year. Would be a shame not to use it, if even only for novelty.

But ya, here we go... Indian Summer my ass, I think it's gonna close out fast and snow will be creeping down from the tops by early October.



Hey, I can't help myself. I ride bikes to kill time till I can ski. I ski to kill time till I can surf. Vicious cycle, but I could find way worse...

I'm only new here (coming up to 12 months) but it took less than a month to work out that the weather forecasters don't have a clue about Vancouver, at least more than 24 hours out. As for long range - wasn't last winter supposed to be the coldest in 40 years?

today was sooo good in the park. Tacky trails (finally) and no people lol. only got out for a couple laps but it was awesome falls finally here. I bet TOW will stay open as the weather allows, was open today so mid week is still a go. The trail will probably stay open when sight seeing is open (assuming peak chair won't spin for just bikers) so following these dates: http://www.whistlerblackcomb.com/the...operation.aspx mid week till 24th then the last couple weekends

That's a miserable effort and darn near some major neg reps. Get your act together.

Do you ever find yourself looking at the bike park webcam & cursing those riders you see in the picture, while you're stuck at work or home, unable to ride there? It's like "Damn, how can that guy be there? Doesn't he have a job?" I for one find myself envious of those who can & do ride the park often. LOL!
