Entry Fees & other expenses

The all inclusive price includes all six races, gondola ride and Peak-2-Peak ticket, Whistler mountain BBQ and even your SI card rental. It offers a small savings and convenience compared to the a la carte pricing.

The a la carte pricing allows you to chose individual items if, for some crazy reason, you won't be taking part in the full menu of activities.

Complainer�s Fee

A complainer�s fee of $25 is payable in advance by anyone who thinks they might be whining about the courses, the map, the terrain, the weather, or anything else that will make the organizers wish they'd never bothered organizing this event. Constructive commentary, as usual, is free and welcome.
