for those whom are going to the event - here is a couple of things to take remember..
1. take a camera - and extra film/memory cards. the place is unbelievably beautiful.
2. get there early in the day. they close the road going to the venue at 10pm, so if you don't leave vancouver by 7'ish forget it. the 150% close the road due to blasting and they don't let a single car pass until 4am'ish. don't know if this is still the case, but don't say i didn't warn you.
3. whistler is expensive - there are some small towns on the left hand side of the road that have grocery stores. plan on stocking up BEFORE you get into town.
4. whistler also gets cold at night - pack accordingly.
5. whistler also doesn't have a ton of bike shops with cross country parts - they either have super low end stuff or silly downhill equipment.
6. i think you can ship your stuff out via UPS/FEDEX early to them - check the andrenaline site for details. this could save you mucho money.
7. 2 forms of identification - you'll be going through customs, pal.
8. if you are racing elite - you need to be there on friday. in the afternoon, they have a special sign in and meet the press deal thingy. i missed this last year and was bummed out.
hmmmm...
that's it..
oh and tip #9
9. race as hard as you can.
sologoat out.
