Fresh Tracks are the Greatest…

Whistler Blackcomb Lift Tickets - Fresh Tracks Breakfast

Fresh Tracks offers early birds a mountain-sized breakfast buffet and early loading privileges. Upload to the Roundhouse Lodge on Whistler Mountain between 7:30am and 8:30am. As soon as Whistler Patrol gives the okay on avalanche clearance, you’re free to hit the open runs on the upper half of the mountain.

Available Dec 14, 2007 - March 30, 2008

Fresh Tracks Tips

* Be at the base of the Whistler Village Gondola at 7am. Upload between 7:30-8:30am.
* On busy days, Fresh Tracks may sell out. Access is limited to the first 650 people at the base on the morning of the breakfast.
* Put your Fresh Tracks ticket in a handy pocket, because you must hand it in at the Roundhouse Lodge at the top.
* Listen for the “Runs are open” call when you’re in the Roundhouse Lodge.
* Do not ski/ride all the way back to the bottom of the mountain. If you do, you will not be allowed back up before the regular opening time without purchasing another Fresh Tracks Ticket (you handed in your ticket at the top).
* Emerald Express and Big Red Express will be the usual lifts open to you at the top of the mountain.

Note: Children 6 & under are free

Whistler Is Great, And So Is GoLark.com!

hey everyone,

got my board tuned; edges sharp, but you know what else…

GoLark launched!! http://www.golark.com

The idea is to go to this site and find the best local events and activities. You submit and vote on the events to get the best ones to the top of the list. You can then filter and sort the event listing by your interests, schedule, and location.

We’ve decided to focus our efforts on getting it going in NYC first, but if you’re not in that area, feel free to use it as a personal event amongst your friends in your area. And sharing the link with all of your friends via email, facebook, myspace won’t bother us at all :P

see everyone in canadia
