rummy Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Hey gang, I'm headed to Whistler the first week in March with four guys on our 25th annual Stag Trip. We have the accomodations at $315 for the week and the airfare at $326 from Harrisburg. The lift tickets are around $80 / day, so 6 days of skiing are costing more than the airfare and the accomodations. If we book on line we can save about $8. / day. Anybody know if there are better deals available on lift tickets? Or, can somebody point me to a forum on Whistler/BC? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snorovr Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 For forum type conversation you might have some luck at tetongravity.com, just don't expect warmth and love if you ask any questions they deem stupid. As for discount tickets, Whistler is pretty good about not giving much to those who aren't from BC or Washington state. Your best bet is usually to buy the multi-day pass online before you go, as they charge more for the multi-day pass at the mountain. If you have any friends who are Washington or BC residents they can get you discount tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is our third trip to Whistler, it's our favorite mtn out West. Sun valley is next, and then A-basin. Big Al is the photographer, I'll try to get him to post a few pics.

I saw the discounts available to "locals", now you've got me thinking about contacting a previous host. I can always fall back to online booking. Thanks again!

JaySkisBig Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Try looking up a few local ski clubs in the BC area and se if you can piggyback off of their group or voucher rate program purchases for the BEST DEALS. It may be a longshot, but ya never know... Also, if you made hotel/condo reservations through an RE management company, you can try contacting them. Vancouver Tourism might be able to help as well. 604-682-2222 Ask for Luke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
