Getting there

Try to arrive between 10am and 4pm on the Saturday and depart after 12 noon on the last day of your program. The last transfer from YVR to Whistler is 6pm, so allow time to collect bags and clear customs.
Return transfers are not included in your camp but can be added at any time before or after you arrive.
Pickups from select locations in downtown Vancouver can be arranged on request.
You can arrive in Whistler earlier or later, but Pro Ride accommodation starts on your camp start date, which is always a Saturday. Arriving a day late still means no missed training, as all sessions start on the Monday after arrival.
