Description:
For all of you who aren't a fan of climbing up hills to ski back down them, and enjoy the luxury of a skit lift and the affordability of shared evos/car pooling! This will be a day trip to the Whistler/Blackcomb resort, ski/snowboard experience required, I'm looking to ski half blues half greens, but I've been known to slide my way downa black if required.
I'm looking to fill an evo (4 other people), as evo charges 105$ for 24hrs, which split 5 ways is cheaper then taking the bus! Would love for it to be a bigger crew, both more evos and cars accepted.
Recommended that lunches are packed, and are eaten on the sea to sky gondola between the Whistler and Blackcomb peaks to maximize time spent on the slopes!
I will email the sign up sheet to those who sign up as interested or committed!
Day of/Timline
We will leave Vancouver at 5am-6am, depending on pick up order, to make it to the slopes by opening at 8am. Slopes close at 5pm, so you will meet back at the car at 5:30pm. Also potential to head to the village afterwards for some post ski drinks and food!
