Has anyone been to Whistler/Blackcomb lately?  (If anyone's said anything
about the area in this newsgroup I must have missed it.)  I'm considering
a trip up there for a few days later this month and would like to get
a few comments from anyone who's been there.
- How's the skiing!!  Do they have a good variety of runs (intermediate)?
  What's the snow usually like during the latter part of February?
  What's the weather usually like?  Predictable?
- How's the highway between Vancouver and Whistler?  Are cable chains
  legal in B.C.?  (Will I need to use them at all?)
- Is the area crowded during the week?
- I'd like to spend one day skiing cross-country.  How are the trails?
  (Should I expect 10 km of machine-made tracks on flat/level terrain,
  or 100 sq. mi. of hilly bushwacking, or nothing at all?)
- How are accommodations at Whistler Village?
