It looks like we will be having a Whistler run this year on Sunday July 31st.  There has been a ton of talk about some people also doing the PEAK to PEAK while there.

I will be uploading info about this shortly.

NEW PLAN below.

Peak to Peak:

Damien
Glenn
Jim
Maureen

Just Drive:

Harrison
Patrick
Steve
Ken

Once the info is up, please chime in quickly as there isn't a ton of time left to plan this.

Michelle and I are good either way but really enjoyed our experience on the mountain 2 years ago.  We highly recommend it.

Cheers,

The Dawg




NEW PLAN!
  • So, we leave McDonalds at 8:30AM.
  • Get to Whistler about 10:00AM after a stop to stretch our legs along the way.
  • The "ride only" types hang out for 3 hrs while the rest of us go up the mountain.
  • The "peak to peaker's" rejoin the ride only folks between 1:00 and 1:30.
  • 2:00 departure for Vancouver
  • Back to Lower Mainland about 3:30PM.

You dream it up....I'll make it

Here are some details regarding the Peak to Peak tickets.





EDIT:  The new plan is to all go up together.  Then some of us go up the mountain for 3 hours or so and the rest just hang out in the village till we get back.  Then we all head home together.

I'm supposing that we would get to Whistler, hang out together for a while.  Maybe have a bite to eat and then say goodbye to the "drive only" types.

We could then go up the Whistler lift to the Roundhouse.  Hang out, maybe take the summit lift to the very top, enjoy the view.  After 2 or 3 hours on the mountain, we take the actual Peak to Peak gondola to Blackcomb Mnt and ride the chair down to the village.

How does that sound?

Sounds perfect to this one.
Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan.

Is there anyone else that isn't on the list above that would like to come with us to Whistler?

The more the merrier!

We will head up with the group, but probably won't do the peak to peak and just hang out in the village or something.

Lisa and I should be heading up, but will probably choose to hang with Harrison and hit up a nice dinner / bar place.

Last year taking Frankie up to Whistler was fun as the tourists seemed to get a kick out of seeing a husky up there. So I expect to take Frankie up there again this year and Anne might come up as well (depending on her schedule). I'm not sure what Anne wants to do in regards to the "Peak to Peak", but I'm just as happy to walk around the Whistler area for a couple hours with the Frankster.

Joanne and I will do the same as we did last year ... we will hide out in one of the pullovers on the highway and wave a hearty greeting to all of the Fieros passing by.  If you want, you can honk your horn when you see us! Just look out for a red Fiero, and don't stop because we're sorry but we can't join you for the whole trip!

Hey Tristan, you think you'll have the car ready?

Ken, if you do come, which group would you be interested in joining?  I'll add you to the list just in case.

Thanks,

Dawg

No problem Glenn.  It's just to get an idea of what might be happening.  On the day, anything could happen.

Cheers,

If I do make it, I will likely not do the peak to peak. I would have done it 3 times in the last 2 years already.    It's pretty spectacular to do it at least once.

I'm gonna have to make myself a maybe for this one. Would rather get
my cars issues fixed before going on a run. Hopefully it will be fixed by
then.

Yes, we need to hear who's not tearing their Fiero apart, and is committed to going.

I'm planning to go. Frankie will be coming with me, just like last year.
