Cabin (2 rooms with queen sized beds plus fold out couch & kitchenette) booked for Saturday night at The Hitching Post in Pemberton. We will leave Vancouver ungodly early on March 1, tour somewhere on The Duffy, then check into the hotel and eat and sleep so we can wake up to do it again on March 2, then drive home after skiing Sunday evening. The room will cost $78 per person. We can make supper or eat out on Saturday evening. Whitney will make breakfast for the group on Sunday morning.
Reminder that everyone is responsible to do their own research so you can effectively contribute to decision making on trip day!
Details will be discussed in WhatsApp chat. Unless otherwise specified, assume that days out touring will mean we meet up before sunrise and are back in the city after dinner.
