no, this is an enormous waste of money on a prestige project which will not even be included on a regular lift pass and will open no new terrain and offer no benefit whatsoever to anyone but rich tourists.

 
I already posted it in the regional forums, but anyways I think it blows. We do NOT require more tourists to come, Whistler's economy is extremely good as it is, this will only bring more gapers and get blackcomb more crowded.
