When you get the ticket for the top of the world. Be sure you get there before 4 pm. No one tells you this. Not even the guys at the top of the Garbo gondola. The peak chair shuts down at 4. No refund or anything, not complaining as it was completely my fault but hopefully it saves someone the headache as I know I was not the only one who has experienced this.

I'm glad I live in a place where I'm able to ski in the winter, and then immediately go biking before the ski season even ends.

[@gabenoseworthy3793]

I just re-watched the van build playlist and I think the only couple things of the van build needs is new seat covers, you can take the seats to a upholstery shop and they can remove the seat covers that are on there now and restitch ones out of whatever Material you want with any kind of cool designs on it, they can even so your channel name or model on to the headrest and maybe a cool wrap for the outside of the van

[@tuckera1879]

Why? That would just make it a target for vandalism and even pushy fans who want to meet the sampler. If he has a wrap the van may also be more recognized, and he wouldn't be able to camp at as many places because it could be mistaken as a camper, which is the exact opposite of what he wants to do.

I've skiied Whistler since I was six, usually 5-10 times a winter, often just for the day (As a skiier, living in Vancouver is only beat by living in the alps). I love those two mountains, and know 'em like the back of my hand. The views from the peak are spectacular. And what you guys did was what we skiers call the "Peak to Creek". Prolly one of the best runs on the mountain. Good to see it also holds up on a bike XD
