Whistler Trip Report - Aug 6th & 7th, ...and then 8th, 2011

Whistler is expensive.  We (my son and I) stayed for one night last summer and the tab was $750 for one day all in!!!!!  That didn't even include a dinner at Araxi or something like it but I did buy him a Ziptrek tour.  My son really liked Whistler. He's 21 right now.  I saw a Travelzoo local deal that was $250 for a two night stay at the Pan Pacific Mountainside, including two Peak 2 Peak gondola passes and one day bike rentals for a studio suite with fireplace and full kitchen.  I asked my son if he was interested in going and he said he was, so I bought it.  Parking was another $25 per day so add another $50. We're up to $300 now and I haven't left the gate...  :-)
