I used to do a lot of ski weekend bus trips back in younger days. Leave for Big White or Silver Star.............or, on Friday afternoon. Head to the resort of choice, and back to Vancouver late Sunday afternoon. These trips were usually organized by social organizations at work, Shoppers Drug, LCBC, Banks, etc...so they generally knew each other. I still have buses, not the same ones, they're scrap by now and I have some interesting contacts in Whistler in regards to accommodations.........hotels, condos, houses...........right now it's slow in the resort, two weeks from now the place will be jammed. It's easy to find the peaks and valleys for accommodation and there is always a deal to be had in the valley. Just a thought if anybody is thinking on trying to plan something like this............
