Has anybody thought about putting a Whistler/Blackcomb Cruise together?
The CASC autocross crowd puts on some smokin' cone races in the upper Blackcomb parking lot in the summer.
Maybe we could piggyback with the B.C. Corvette Club?
Just fishing for interest because I live up here.
Post your ideas.

 

Hey, Where abouts are you from, BC I take it?

 

I'm in Garibaldi Highlands, just 5 mins. north of Squamish. We refer to our area as "South Whistler" or "West West West Vancouver"
If you are driving north to Whistler/Blackcomb and you pass the Canadian Tire store we are in the foot hills of the mountains you see immediately to your right. Beautifull area...moved up here to raise my family 10 years ago, where are you from?

 

I drove right past you in my Camaro last year when I went to Mt. Whistler to snowboard. The roads were clear on the way up. On the way down.....here I am in my relatively high HP Camaro going down the pass in the SNOW. 3 SUV's were in the ditch as I went down.....the IROC made it the whole way!!!, with only a couple slides. (I was scared as hell though, but I couldn't show it or my wife would've jumped outta the car!)

It was quite the experience!

I drive the Sea to Sky 5 times a week to Vancouver, the winter accidents are almost always SUV's (stupid useless vehicles) the sheep driving these leased bloatmobiles forget that it takes them just as long a distance to stop as it does any 2wd.

 

Hey hey hey now, I drive a SUV (93 Grand Cherokee 5.2 SFI) as my winter vehicle, and let me tell you with my high traction radials (not mud tires, but a "highway" mud tire they call it) I've gone way more places than I ever did in my Camaro in the snow....I would never attempt any of the snowy passes in my Camaro that my SUV has breezed through without a sweat. Who knows maybe I have more driving capabilities than your average soccer mom.

 

I think everyone has more driving capabilities than a soccer mom. Except maybe the asian mom that's too short to see over the steering wheel. Believe me I know. One lives in my house. Sometimes makes left turns at the BEGINNING of the green light.

 

Sorry IROC22, No offense intended, one of my other playthings is a Jeep YJ, but my daily (almost unstopable) driver is a POS '89 Toyota Corolla, and I am constantly passing by these forty thousand plus schmucks-in-the-ditch. Having grown up in real off road country, it's hard to have any sympathy for these Abercrombie and Fitch idiots...OK somebody slap me I'm starting to sound like Dennis Miller.

 

Gibby, What kind of tires are you running??? My Z sucks in the snow. It could be due to the comp ta's? I have been thinking of going to teh BFG KWDS tires since they are all season?

As far as the whistler trip, My wife and I go up twice a year! Once in the summer, and once in the winter. I highly doubt that I could talk her going up there with the new baby crammed in the Z However, two summers ago, we went up for some mountain biking and we did take the Z! It was a FUN DRIVE!

 

with as much power as your Z has craig, i am suprised you can even think about getting it started moving in the snow.

 

Well, I'm lucky that it hardly ever snows here in tacoma! It is my everyday car for now. I've been saving for either a new truck and putting the Z in the garage or trading/selling the z and getting a typhoon. Only time will tell.

 

Next time your in T town, shoot me a PM and give Bhaas and i a heads up!

 

me???

i won't be back up there until mid febuary.
