Come and join us in the Callaghan Valley, located just south of Whistler, onboard one of our chartered luxury coaches, for 5 Saturday's from January 2/10 to January 30/10. This is where the best nordic skiers in the world will compete during the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games starting in February. This will undoubtedly be on of the most exciting times to ski in the Callaghan Valley leading up to the Games. In preparation for these competitions some of the trails in the Whistler Olympic Park (WOP) will be closed along with access to the Day Lodge, Ski Jumping and Biathlon areas. We will be using the Callaghan Country Base Area this season and still have 70km of perfectly groomed trails to explore.

Your day will begin bright and early as the Sigge’s coach leaves promptly at 8:00am. Please ensure you are at Sigge’s, 2077 W. 4th Avenue, by 7:45 am. This will allow plenty of time for you to come into Sigge’s, check your name off the list, pick up any rental boots if you require them and purchase any last minute items you may have forgot. Our second pick up point is 8:20 am at St. David's United Church, 1525 Taylor Way, just above the Upper Levels Highway. There is plenty of parking in this area and very convenient for those who are coming from anywhere on the North Shore or over the Second Narrows Bridge.

Weather, roads and traffic volume permitting we’re scheduled to arrive at the Callaghan Country Base Area by 10:00am. There will be a small warming hut and concession area available where you can pick up a coffee or hot chocolate but we are still encouraging skiers to bring their own food and beverages with them. All extra personal belongings can be left onboard the coach which will be secure and accessible throughout the day. Your Sigge’s Host will provide you with a ticket, wire and trail map. At lunchtime you have the option of eating onboard the coach or outside amongst the beautiful scenery of the Callaghan Valley.

Please make sure you are keeping track of the time. It is very important that you make your way back to the base area / parking lot no later than 3:45pm! The departure time from the Callaghan Country Base Area is 4:00pm sharp!

At 4:00pm, we’re on the highway back to Vancouver. Sit back, have a nap and enjoy the ride. Sigge’s hosts will dazzle you with their smiles and stories all the way home. You can expect to arrive at St. David's United Church by 5:40pm and back to Sigge's by 6:00pm, weather, roads and traffic volume permitting. We hope you have a wonderful trip!

WHAT TO BRING

A hearty lunch, lots of water, suntan lotion, sunglasses, warm lightweight gloves, toque, and extra socks. As well, bring along a change of clothing for the ride home.

Dress in layers!

Begin layering with synthetic or merino wool long underwear, which can wick moisture away, keeping your skin warm and dry. For your upper body, 3-4 layers are usually recommended. Pullover jerseys, thermo lycra tops, fleece sweaters and lightweight breathable nylon shell jackets are a few suggestions. Your legs require 2-3 layers at most. Remember to wear thermo tights and/or shell pants (available lined or unlined) over your long underwear. At Sigge’s we stock a great collection of functional quality clothing from Louis Garneau, Sugoi, Craft and Swix. Please come by, we would be happy to help you find the right combination!
