google earth it. Its usper easy and adds almost another 1/3 of terrain to whistler. If you go to far right at the beginning you will end up in the check, if you go too far right later you will end up on a shitty cliff band, with a big hike out and maybe in function if you plan on it or fuck it up.
There is a nice big oldskool clear cut that 80% of what you ski comes out into, there are roads in this old clear cut that take you back to crack side. I"m sure someone you know has experience. I'd say do it yourself, but my dad is on search and rescue and sooo many people get lost or die in there....for what seems comparatively simple to me.
So go with someone who knows it the first time and don't ski like an idiot. JUst have some sense of direction.....and don't fall in any tree wellsss!
I spent 2 hours in a tree well up there once, never covered in snow but upside down couldn't get out. Probably woulda figured it out eventually but someone found me and gave me a handd.
