It appears the drive from YVR to Whistler is a bit over 2 hrs.  I am trying to figure out an appropriate method of transport.

Shuttle:  ~60 per person.  Last shuttle from airport to whistler leaves at 11 or 11:30pm.  so anyone interested in shuttle should plan on a flight that arrives plenty before this time.

Car Rental: a car rental for Jan5-Jan12 is ~200 total for a sedan and ~300 for a bigger SUV sort of thing

as for car rental; i’m not even certain how many people are actually going on the trip.  But assuming there are about 8 of us and assuming we all have big bulky snowboard bags( I know I do ), and possibly one other piece of luggage, we’re probably looking at needing at least 2 car rentals.  If that is the case, then I suggest all of us getting in touch to coordinate groups flying together ( or at least arriving within same hour windows ) and then driving together to the sick-ass mountain.

HINT HINT: This is a long ass flight. Make sure you enroll yourself in a frequent flyer miles group before you book your tickets. They are worth a lot of miles. Want to hit platinum status even faster? Get a credit card for the particular airline you are flying and buy your tickets with the card and your frequent flyer miles program.

So, to conclude, it will be a pleasure riding with you all and I look forward to our expedition to a place where the women are big, tough, and elusive. I love it.
