And i'm very stoked.

This isn't a claim thread, but while i'm up there i intend to do a lot of skiing (and partying.. ha)
because my friend and i don't have tickets to very many events.

So i'm wondering:

Who of you guys are gonna be up there / already are and are looking to get some park laps together?
I've heard the snow is pretty good lately, and i'd be stoked to find some kids from ns or around the area
to lap the park with and just kinda kick or whatever.

hit me up!

^ that shouldn't be a huge issue in that in 06 when i was Torino we actually parked 60 minutes from Torino and took shuttle busses and trains to Torino then took more trains out to the ski jumping event. very confusing journey though. granted we had tickets but i would say you will still have to pay a small fee

Yeah...I'm going to go out on a limb and say Europe's public transportation system is much better than Vancouver's. Granted, I've never been to either, but still.

I'm pretty sure there are shuttles to and from whistler pretty much constant.  and I dont think you need an event ticket

Whichever way you look at it, Vancouver is a logistic nightmare.

i have a friend whose dad is on some "olympic council" or something but basically she has this pass that allows her to ski free anywhere in the world. My grandparents offered to take me to the olympics and this girl megan could get me into after race parties and meet the US team. /claim

anyways i decided not to go because i would miss an annual alta/PC/canyons trip

you can drive your car all the way up to Squamish... squamish is like 45 minutes outside of whistler. but i dont know if you can catch a bus at there.... i think you can probably take the shuttle from squamish to whistler though.
