It's always good to be back in Whistler, and especially for the 07 Telus World Ski and Snowboard Festival. For those not in the know, the Telus Festival is one of, if not the largest, winter festival in the world. Ten days of music, art, booze, contests and general skiing on Whistler/Blackcomb. Each day features an impressive assortment of events and activities ranging from last night's Stephen Marley performance to the week-long urban-inspired art show, Brave Art.. Check whistler2007.com for the event schedule.

Besides the planned PG activities, each night in this fabled après town lasts early into each morning. Telus Tip #1: if you are not a local, and want to get into any of the popular bars, arrive early the lines build up fast and once the club is packed, ain't nobody leaving. A quarter-million additional visitors rolling through town this a week--you get the idea. All in all, if you can, get up to here! The deepest snowpack in 10 years, snowing in the village and the skiing is pretty damn good for April.
