It must have been the 85/86 season that I remember it was prior to Village lifts , the helicopter was at Creekside . We were the guys wearing the Beaver Patrol hats . Direct from Girl Guides .
Yup that was the beginning of the great boom . Blackcomb opened in 87 if memory serves . I had to quit skiing in 86 and one of the last time we were offered a twenty dollar helicopter ride for guided skiing on the new mountain . Sadly we passed .
You have been participating on these boards for ten years of Canadians bitching about taxes and you don’t know if we have income tax , yikes give your head a shake .
