I'm looking for budget accomodation during Winter Olympics, Feb 2010 for Whistler area.
Couldn't believe the prices being quoted. Any ideas most welcome..

Stay at the Met Hotel on the coast for 75$ a night for ~130$ That's about $280 for a car and a place to stay, see two events and hang out. for about 170$

Thats all good news, as prices I had received ranged from $500 -$2000 a night :lol:
Flight I'm thinking of getting is for 14 nights from London Heathrow, 11th - 25th Feb.
Its the skiing and skeleton in Whistler I'm most interested in, as I know one of the British Skeleton team, Ant Sawyer, and I go to Kitzbuhelevery year to watch the downhill & super G.
Sounds like $1000 should do the accomodation. How far is this place on the coastfrom Whistler?

Route 99 goes from Vancouver ( Sea Island) to Whistler and after you get out of the city near Horseshoe Bay, you have 1 1/2 hours. The whole trip is about 2:10 hoursChameleon wrote:Thats all good news, as prices I had received ranged from $500 -$2000 a night :lol:
