Hi, I ride for the Commencal supported Ticket2RideBC downhill team and part of my deal is to try and persuade fellow mountain bikers that you really should go and holiday in Whistler with Ticket2RideBC.  Furthermore, to try and persuade you even more I am able to offer a 5% discount on the price of your holiday when you book.

Ticket2RideBC adventure mountain biking holidays are the original Whistler mountain bike holiday specialists.

From the full service Whistler riders' centre, they offer the ultimate in adventure mountain bike holidays, specifically designed to cater for riders of all ages, disciplines and abilities.  I guarantee you’ll come back from your holiday a better and more confident rider.

They provide multi-area/terrain riding experiences, in and around the legendary trails of the worlds most influential & diverse riding destination, Whistler, BC.

With the help of their own 4x4 fleet, qualified guides and extensive local trail knowledge, they can take you to places others simply cannot reach for the ultimate BC riding experience;-

Ride A-Line with T2R, recently voted as the 77th Best Thing to do in the World by Stuff Magazine!

Fancy a Helidrop onto Rainbow Mountain with a 1.5 to 2 hr descent to follow?

The legendary Northshore?

Ride the wild Canadian mountains as seen in ‘The Collective’? A ‘Tyax Air’ float plane with take you up to an alpine lake in the middle of nowhere and it’s then a 4 hr ride back to civilisation through some of the most stunning scenery you’ll ever see.

Pemberton, Squamish, Deep Cove….....it’s all there to be discovered?

There’s also lots of other things to do for your non-mountain biking partners – walking & hiking, horse riding, white water, worlds longest span peak to peak gondola, bungee, zip lines, 4x4 trails, paint balling, golf and you can ski and board until the end of July on Blackcomb Mountain!  It really is the adventure holiday destination to cater for everyone!

Go to http://www.ticket2ridebc.com and on booking your holiday mention that Steve persuaded you to go or use the discount code T2R01 to receive the 5% discount*

Furthermore, if you book before the end of March there’s a free Giro helmet offer too!

Do not hesitate to PM me with any queries you might have or contact T2R direct on info@ticket2ridebc.com.

*This offer is available to first time T2R customers only, but do not worry if you’ve been before, all past guests of T2R automatically receive a 5% discount on their booking, so no one is missing out, but still please mention my name ;o)

A few more photos to try and pursuade you to go

A few more 'tasters'

[damo]

A few of us are saving as we speak for 2011.  Weddings and babies stops my mates at the moment.
In your experience, how much do you think it would cost for each of us for a week?

Damo

[100mphplus]

If you are talking total cost then it will vary depending upon time of year you want to go and what type of holiday you want, but here's a rough idea;

Go in June / early July / Sept and your flight will be ~£450
Late July / Aug and your flight will be ~£600+
Unfortuantely since Zoom went bump last year the flight costs have more or less doubled as there's little competition 
This year Basic Big Mountain T2R Holiday low season is ~£435 and high season £500
Something with shuttle days incl such as the Freeride or Iconic package is ~£600 to £800
If you go with T2R you will only need to purchase two evening meals and all of your your lunches all week, ~£50 will cover that.
Beer is relatively cheap if you stick to the well known places where 4 pints pitchers cost ~£1.70 / pint
Insurance for the week will be ~£40 ish

I usually take £200 with me and bring some home, apart from drinks, the only major outlay will be 'presents' as you'll find something that's a bargain

[damo]

My plan is £1500 tops for the whole thing. Thanks for that. Now I know where to come nearer the time.

Damo

[100mphplus]

Hopefully the £ will have recovered by the time you go and for £1500 you could get a 2 week holiday

two weeks for a lads holiday? Your joking aren't you? My Mrs wouldn't allow that.

damo,
If you want, bring the missus. There is more than enough for her to do in Whistler without her ever lifting a leg over a bike.
I have only been there in the winter, but from friends who have places there, they all agree the best time to go is the summer and they are not bikers.
The hiking, secret rock pools, lakes, partying and shopping will make a girl happy.
The missus and I are considering a visit next summer (both bikers) and considering inviting friends who are not cyclist but just want to go and relax.

Damo

I admit it takes a lot of grovelling and collection of brownie points for the other 50 weeks of the year, but I manage it

[damo]

I mentioned it to the wife tonight and she said " what, and I look after the kids while you go out on your bike?"

Ha ha. Think i'll do a week with the lads. Less hassle.
