2010 prices

AJ, I did a DIY to Whistler. Good airfares with BA. Booked a house on the net for 6, Two couples and two singles. There are regular buses leave Vancouver airport for Whistler. We took a luxory minibus and driver for not much more than the bus, and took the return by bus.

Lift passes are expensive. Eating out seemed to be similar to UK.

Big issue with Whistler is the low cloud/mist, giving poor viz. This happens regularly, but you won't read that in the brochures!

Good ski bus system.

Does that mean you won't ne going to N in 2010? :shock:

I don't like to rub it in for those of you based in the UK but make sure to check the small print. With the deterioration in Sterling, it would seem logical that the 2010 Sterling prices for Europe should be 20-30% higher than 2009 (including, in particular, lift passes, ski-hire, etc).

I suspect that the early brochures are based on an out-of-date or positively optimistic exchange rate and that the small print allows them to charge a potentially nasty currency surcharge :x.

I believe the TO must absorb the first 2% and the maximum charge is up to 10% if the currency significantly fluctuates. I don't know but would imagine you have the option to cancel also.
