For me it's Niseko in Japan. Slopes are decently sized, snow is good, lift tickets are cheap and you can buy by half days or evening, runs open late, great food. Great hospitality and I love Onsen.

Unless you're talking about within Canada only. In which case I guess it'll just have to be Whistler. Just cause it's big and has a nice village and isn't far away from Vancouver.

I go grouse cause it’s the easiest to access if you don’t have a car

In Vancouver? Not that it's the best but we always go to Grouse Mountain for its reasonable prices.

Are we looking for advice on local hills? Whistler? Hills in the interior? A bit vague…

In terms of local hills, it’s kind of a tie between Cypress and Seymour. Cypress has a bus service from a few stops that works pretty well and their terrain both inbounds and out is reasonably good. It’s a fun place for dawn patrol laps if you have a car. Bonus points for networking on the skin track on deep days.

Seymour isn’t impressive at first glance. Get to know it and you’ll see why it’s great. The shuttle from the mall isn’t great but it works.

Literally everything about grouse sucks but it’s stupid easy to get to via transit if that’s a concern for you.

Whistler deserves its own thread and I’m not giving away my interior of BC intel easily.

Booked a villa for 50-60 guests for our destination wedding in Tuscany. The hotel required us to pre-pay for the rooms and won’t accept direct payments from guests. This means we need to find a way to “charge” each of our guests for the cost. Any recs? Thought of PayPal and Venmo but would prefer being able to create a website that feels more legit / seamless and allows for credit cards if needed. There are many different room types and we’d like to be able to feature them so guests can choose.

Living in Van. Previously lived in Toronto. Obviously rent prices are high as is cost of living. Generally go out and spend more often living in a city. Boyfriend and I on good salary but not saving much due to the above. Before we move home to our own country, we’d love to spend a year close to Vancouver where rent is cheaper, temptation is less, to save. A commute to Vancouver 1-2 times a month needs to be possible (his job). That can be a flight if it’s not crazy. Thoughts? Recommendations?

I got hired not long ago. I realise some of the employee benefits i was told (missing in the contract) contradict with what’s stated on the law. So i email the boss about it and ask for clarification. Immediately after the email i was fired.

Just want to make sure people know this and don’t apply jobs in this shady company- it is called UniQ Biotech, in Delta, BC, Canada
