(Nov 18 05, 10:05)"i though seymour didn't open until today?
i heard cypress was good on wednesday when they opened for passholders.
and i'd have to give blackcomb more of a 4/5 for opening day conditions... 1/5 for lineups.

i did my first chairlift "tour of duty" (up, down and back up) at Baker.
i remember it well, age 6.. balled my eyes out round trip.

take the regular ferry to tswassen and then its about an 1.5 hours to Baker depending on the border. Ive never seen the border that busy at that time in the morning. If its a mid week trip - even better.

i don't know the Victoria exit strategies very well.. :)

its fast - almost the same as going to mt washington from victoria.
take the 1st ferry at 6am and you could be riding by 930.
