Very nice.Zach Dank said:i :heart: canadia
There are a subsection of riders worldwide who seem utterly obsessed with this, but it is particularly prevalent in the US. The whole 'If your bike isn't equiped with the absolute latest stuff, you're a loser' crowd. It's pretty lame. It seems to be in it's place here on this site though, for the most part. There are some exceptions...stinsonblvd said:Most American riders are more interested in what components/frame you ride.
whistler is a money making park. That is the deal just like going on a carribean vacation everyone chats and says hello and everyone is happy. It is extremely expensive like shopping at an airport so it is obvious that it caters to the rich and discards the poor.thesacrifice said:The B.C. Yeti Distributor was dope enough to let me come over to his house to find the ellusive Derailleur Hanger I needed so desperately for my Whistler Trip... dude rules.
I think pretty much everyone at Whistler is nice, it's not often you can just roll up to someone and start socializing about everything and anything
I wasn't refering to the people who work at whistler, of course they are nice they are trying to sell stuff. I was speaking of the regular folks I met in line for the lift and on the hill.trailblazer said:whistler is a money making park.

What you will find outside the theme parks are real people who are warm and open to new faces. Go to any BC bike shop and you are hooked up for rides and entertainement imediately. Now a closer look past the glitz will show a very seedy side of life. Vansterdam has a depressingly bad drug and hoe problem. Sure van is sooo cool but it is really skanky in certain areas. Mt. Seymore is a garbage pile filled with toxic emitting stench. That is our playground.
One really cool thing about us Canucks...we do not carry arms.
hope i pissed off no one.

Well I don't know about retailers, but people that live and work here are friendly because we are. You can't fake that. I have been here 5 years now and can honestly say, if a person is a dick he will be a dick regardless of the situation. In fact most locals will help you find the best deal possible because we know how screwed and expensive our system is.thesacrifice said:me too
Who needs to shop? I've got a season pass, and go there tuesday and wedsday every week, which costs me all of about 20 bucks after gas. The variety of hostels is fantastic for about 15 bucks a night, or stay in staff housing for 10. You can even camp in the overnight lot for free and hardly ever get hassled. Whistler can be quite affordable .trailblazer said:It is extremely expensive like shopping at an airport so it is obvious that it caters to the rich and discards the poor.
