How about we save some money and gas, while at the same time giving fellow skibums a ride up and helping the environment minimally? Sounds good? So why don't we start some kind of carpooling thing from whatever location you are at, to Whistler, or even the local mountains if needed. Post if you have room to spare, need a ride, etc... If you're getting a ride, obviously be courteous and bring gas money + donuts or beer. I need a ride saturday, and so do two friends at UBC. I'm willing to go wherever you're leaving from, let me know

I would really like a ride up this weekend (the 17th) on friday or saturday, and a ride back on saturday or sunday. That would be really nice. I'm at UBC.

I will compensate with money.

lol, look at all the vagabond men bumming for a ride and needing the help of the damsel with the car.  how's that for chivalry?

women's lib - the rise of the suga momma

no offense intended nadia.  empowerment to you!  i suggest you make them earn their keep and check your oil and tire pressure along the way.  haha.

Oh, and on the subject of getting royally fucked, all areas passes, (competetors cards) are being lopped in with staff for "Not allowed to go skiing opening weekend, save it for the tourists"

Fuck you fortress, guess this means sledding..

Im going up today.  I have one seat available.  If you can make it to the Burrard Sky Train Station by 3:20, then you have a lift.  Look for a Green Honda Element.  I will be picking up someone else there-- a single girl, for all you single men.  I will be leaving as fast as I arrive.

Just some info for UBC students, the greyhound will be running from campus again starting this weekend, you can buy round trips at travel cuts for $27...so a lot more money than sharing rides. I'm probably going up thursday, will let you know if there's room in my friend's car, and I'll probably head up this weekend as well and will have to figure something out.

yeah that bus is expensive.  if it comes down to it though, i'll just have to suck it up.

I don't have classes on thursdays.  it would be great if you let me know if i could get a ride.  i'll try to check ns, but a text/phone call would get to me right away... 604 619 2332.

for the weekend, i'm fine with bussing up there on saturday, but i'd really prefer to get a ride back that day because i have something planned for the early evening, and the bus doesn't get back to ubc in time for it.
