hey. i just got my seasons pass but its a bitch with gas right now and im wondering if anyone runs shuttles to whistler during the week (monday or friday). If anyone know people that run shuttles let me know. OR if anyone has a big truck and heads up to whistler once a week, during the weekdays...

Yeah, huckwagon rules but people would most likley use this service if they didnt have a car or if they really didnt want to drive their car. $40-45 is not the cheapest for me considering that a fill up (even @ $1.20) will cost about $40. Plus, half that if i carpool with a buddy. i was looking more for someone that is going up anyways and has a truck or something.... good suggestion though....

3 bikes eh? You call that ghetto adapter thing that only grabs one leg of the fork, holding a bike?!?!? :lol: :lol: :lol:
Just kidding. I'm going to try to get in a bunch of week days at Whiz. I'll be calling you to hook up a car pool.

I rode Greyhound up once last summer when my wife wouldn't let me have the car. It worked just fine. Apparently they're talking about installing racks on the front. When I went I had to put the bike under the bus in the cargo racks.

The bike will travel on the same bus as the passenger only if space allows. (For en extra $3.00 the shipper can request a "Travels With Passenger" form. This means the bike will travel on the same schedule as the passenger.)
