BC TRIP THIS YEAR

So i found this place called the Fire Side Lodge. It is just minutes from the Mountain and is a great deal for the Price. I am booking my first week there Aug 11-20. I will spend that week riding whistler, checking out Crankworx , and riding some local trail, probably make a day run to Squamish. The following monday finish up the trip at whistler and head over to Silver Star and Sun Peaks Area for the next week.
The Fire Side Lodge is about $30 a night
So around $250 for a week at whistler
Whistler lift tickets and Crankworx $150
Lodging and tickets for the other two resorts will probably be $300 for two days and two nights at both resorts
Gas and food $300 for two weeks

The summer rates will be something like:

Dorm $20

Double room $20 = $15 per person and we will accept one in the room, so $35 single, $50 for two

Loft (3 person minimum at above rates) = $75

Loft rooms have 3 beds, usually two queens and a single, or a queen and two singles.. 4 people in a loft would be $90/night.

The guy you want to talk to is Andrew, he is under my frind list his username is gotham. Send him a message with any questions, just let him know that Jed (boostedrt) is part of our group. I have told him that there will be about 6 or more of us looking to book some rooms. I am either going to book a double private room or the loft room.

 So i had a busy week last week and kept putting off to book that T2R trip. My wife explained to me that they are not going to ride the resorts. The first week would be xc riding from a point, and the second week they would have a vehicle assisted to the start and ride from there.
It does not include any park passes or lift tickets.
It does not include my gas to get there
It is nice to be with a group but it is a larger group 10+.
I will be bunking with some one else

So i still dont have any thing together. I can drive up, Lodge and Bike for 2 nights at three different Bike resorts for a total of 6 days on the mountain and spend a couple days on local trails or doing some site seeing.

 So places to rent are allready filling up, two places i contacted about rentals say they have allready booked half of there rentals for Aug this month. After looking at a map and speaking with Normandie, North Vancouver seems like a pretty good location to stay but is a little more and less to choose from. It is kind of a middle point for alot of places. Staying at whistler would be ALOT of driving every day. The couple days we want to check out whistler we could get a place and stay there and wont have to deal to much with the traffic and people. North Vancouver is located by some excellent riding and puts us alot closer to all the different bike parks.

 So i have been looking for some cheap nice places to stay and i think i found it. Check it out at firesidelodge.org
We would be around other riders and could plan some fun trips. It would be nice to start the trip in whistler Aug 12-20, it will be around 30 a night for lodging. and then make the loop up and over to silver star and sun peaks the following week.

 Me and one of my friend are planning to go to BC this summer from July till the end of August so I'm supporting the idea of sharing the costs of accomodation and other stuff. We thought to rent a place at North Vancouver because the trails of Mount Fromme are really close so we could ride there every day and we can start different trips from there for example to Whistler or other places too.

 What kind of a place are you guys going to rent? I have not thought about staying there. The places i have found are in Whistler.
Are you guys looking for people to plit the cost of housing. One request is a HOT TUB after a hard day riding there is nothing like soaking in a hot tub!
