Summer accomodation for 12 people in whistler?

Hi guys, i hope this is the right place to post this, but im a little clueless otherwise. Anyway, at the start of this month, me, my bro, and a couple of mates flew out from england to whistler. Came out for a week, wrecked a few rear wheels, cracked an sx trail and broke some fox 36's but it was the best holiday we ever had, and now 12 of us want to come back again.

The only problem is that it was originally 6 of us coming back, and i managed to find a cheap condo. All was good, but then i was told that it wasnt bike freindly, and some more people invited themselves. Now we're sat between 10 and 12 people, and im organising it.

So, can anyone reccomend me a place to stay for next year. i've looked on the inernet, but theres places charging 500 to 1000bucks a night. So im now desperate. I could do with finding a villa/house/chalet/whatever other names they have. or any other options you guys have? I hear that the staff housing for the staff who work for the mountain is now avaliable to the public? is this correct, does anyone have any information?

Also, does anyone know when crankworx is on next year?


thanks in advance

Nick

$500 / 12 = $41 per head per night, how cheap can you get?

sorry, i meant 500 for the original 6 people chalet, now i need to get 12 people in, and i kinda told them all it'd be cheap, oops! If i remember correctly, they all seem to be miles away too. Is the niclaus golf course at the bottom of the big hill near the train line? We went down there once, got lost and it seemed to be miles away from the lifts/whistler centre. or did we get really lost?

thanks mate. i think youve saved the say. theyve mailed me like 30 places that apparently have bike storage and arent too far from the village. Thanks!

sorry gooch, you went a bit french at the end

we stayed on nancy greene drive last time. and it was fine, after riding, all downhill home. but i wouldnt wanna ride much more than that 20minutes after getting outta bed every day again to the lifts...
