We’re going international!!!  Ok, so it’s not "across the pond" but it is our friendly neighbors to the north.

 

This week-long trip to Whistler, British Columbia, Canada leaves Nashville on February 23rd.  Make sure those passports are up-to-date and start your trail map musings any day now, as Whistler is a ton of mountain to cover.

 

Whistler and Blackcomb are combined by the Peak 2 Peak Gondola joining up to make over 8,000 acres of skiable terrain.  This is touted to be the largest skiable area in North America, and we’re going to make it ours for a full week.  The Peak 2 Peak Goldola connects the two areas and holds two world records: one for the longest free span between ropeway towers and another for the highest point from the ground.  The latter isn’t so much fun for those with a fear of heights.  But we chose this sport, right?!!

 

Dates:  February 23 - March 2, 2019  Saturday to Saturday
Lodging: Our stay will be at the Delta Whistler Village Inn and Suites, a Marriott property. We’ll have 2 BR/2 BA condos…with robes and slippers!  It’s located in the Village, just steps from Olympic Plaza and a couple minute walk from the lifts!

 

Full package:  includes 7 nights lodging, round-trip air, 5-day lift tickets, ground transportation, group dinners and socials:    $2277
Land only:  includes 7 nights lodging, 5-day lift tickets, ground transportation, group dinners and socials:  $1667
