I've never ridden Whistler b4, but looks like I'm going up to do a thurs/fri at the end of the month. So assuming it'll be a nice day, how long are the lift lines on a Thurs/Fri??

I learned the hard way to towel off my bike before the dog. I'd rather have a slightly oily dog than a hairy bike.

It's only open weekends for now so I would say midweek is non-existent.

the level of riding goes up exponentially. No weekend warriors, just locals and those who ride rather than work 9-5. And the odd tourist.

It completely depends whether they have Fitz chair open or not. If it's a nice weather day and only the gondola is open, than prepare to wait. If Fitz is open, than you won't have to worry about waiting at all.

Sometimes early season during the first week or two that the park is open 7 days a week, they try to make due with just the gondola. The park itself is amazing early season midweek - no one around. You can sometimes do laps without seeing anyone.

Midweek is the only time to go, even in mid summer vacation there's no huge lineups.
In the past 4 years I don't think I've ever bothered to go up on a weekend, one good thing about working wierd shifts.
