Is the skiing/boarding season alot more profitable then the summer riding and SGC???Nice touch that the day lots cost 50% more during the summer than winter as well.
Winter is much more profitable, you can barely ever find a place to park (especially during the games, it was stupid). They over extended for the games, but the parking lots were not run by whistler originally and were handed over about 2 years ago. I think this has been in the plans for awhile...Is the skiing/boarding season alot more profitable then the summer riding and SGC???
Also did they over extend a bit for the games or didthey get a big head from the publicity and decide to tap a bit more income...

It's still cheaper than the $40 or so most of the hotels up there charge to valet it! Lots 4 and 5 will be free, but they are down on lorimer near marketplace. Good way to save money if you don't mind the hike, but you may lose your radio! 4/5 are apparently closed today for line painting.Cool then its a bottom line over a period of time and probably waiting a contract on the parking out...
Thats cool... Id pay to play anywase.... You pay for parking at disneyland for the kids so this is for us... Should be alot less painfull
Come on now Iron Horse owes Hill money so he had to get job.....Somehow I don't think they'll be providing security. Just some stoned Australians looking for scraps of paper on dashboards.
Day lot 4 and 5?This is a little disconcerting. Not only do we have to over pay for any food and services(I know, I know it is a resort) Now we have to pay to park a vehicle and not get any benefit of the money spent in possible protection of our goods. Plus, where am I gonna park to sleep at night now when I am to hammered of Merlin's Pitchers and 5 dollar burgers!! Guess we will have to get sneaky now.
this IS NOT a Whistler/BLackcomb thing, this is the resort municipality, ie the town. It will be enforced by bylaw with a licence plate recognition system. and seriously, lot 4 is too far away? man up sissy.Not to be a whiney bitch but Lot 4 and 5 are way far away on the days that you are trying to hammer out as many laps as you can and need to run back to the rig for a little maintenance. Not to mention we are paying out the ass in every other facet of the resort. But I will happily pay out the ass for some Dup's Burritos!! Out of curiosity how are they planning on enforcing the parking rules? A little fake ticket that they can't really enforce as they aren't a municipality. A "stoned aussie" yelling funny sounding insults at you pedal past?
I guess I will just have to stop bitching and make the hoof from lot 4/5.
Beat me to it. Also, I'd imagine you'll just get towed.this IS NOT a Whistler/BLackcomb thing, this is the resort municipality, ie the town. It will be enforced by bylaw with a licence plate recognition system. and seriously, lot 4 is too far away? man up sissy.
Downhillers....Isn't the natural response to park where it's free, and pedal your bike to the lift?
I mean, you're there to ride your bike.
Are people really that afraid of pedaling?
no kidding, I freakin' ride my dh bike from past creekside to the village all the time, it's a good warm up...Downhillers....
Someone had to say itPeople complaining about paying for parking who have multi-thousand dollar dh playbikes cracks me up. It's a limited resource. If no one pays then they'll rethink their model. I think that won't be an issue.
I don't think they're complaining about the cost. I wish I could charge my customers to come and visit my business.People complaining about paying for parking who have multi-thousand dollar dh playbikes cracks me up. It's a limited resource.

However do you mean. That we can afford gas, that we are located on the correct continent and thusly can physically drive there, or that we can sometimes get past border patrol without getting our o-ring stretched out looking for contraband.Again please have sympathy with the stoner Aussie - he needs work too. You guys just need to get down on your knees and thank the Gods of mountain biking that you are able to drive to Whistler.
They are adding a 2$ toilet fee (per visit) as well.People complaining about paying for parking who have multi-thousand dollar dh playbikes cracks me up. It's a limited resource. If no one pays then they'll rethink their model. I think that won't be an issue.
They will be seeing my bare ass on the side of the hill much more often then. I guess TP isnt such a bad thing to carry in the pack.They are adding a 2$ toilet fee (per visit) as well.
You don't really think the lift pass is directly related to the costs of operating Whistler's bike park, do you?I don't think they're complaining about the cost. I wish I could charge my customers to come and visit my business.
Oh, you want to shop here? Well, right after I collect my $15 convenience fee.
