Ski in/out Lodging at “the Bluffs”
I am coming to Whistler the first week of March and my lodging is near the Bluffs development off Nordic Dr and Taluswood Pl, on the creekside of Whistler. Dave Murray Lower is directly accessible from a short walk from my lodging.
My question is, (assuming the run is scheduled to be open) can I ski down Dave Murray lower to access the creekside gondola for the morning opening before the resort officially opens? Or will Ski Patrol come have a friendly chat with me?
I have a rental car so I could always drive down to the creekside garage but the idea of leaving the car and skiing down to the gondola each morning for “first tracks” sounds enticing even though it would be a short run.
Any patroller or community insight would be greatly appreciated here. I don’t want to risk getting my pass pulled over something like this. Thanks!
