I was trying to figure out another cool thing to do for a WordCamp, and thought having one up in Whistler, BC, Canada would be rather awesome. Whistler is one of North America's nicest ski resorts, and is only 100kms away from Vancouver. For now this website will be used to help with some of the planning aspects. The tentative date for this event is January 24, 2009, with the expectation that at least some people will go up to Whistler for the entire weekend.

There's also a Facebook page listed below in the Links section that people have been using to sign up. We'll try and do something more official closer to the date.
- Nearest International Airport: Vancouver International (YVR)
- Distance from airport to Whistler: approximately 100kms, or a 1.5 hour drive
- We will try to organize some form of mass-transport ie. limobus or shuttle
To be determined later
