Because so much of the energy and attention of February 2010 visitors will be focused on Olympic events Whistler-Blackcomb Mountains promise to be empty. With that in mind, to get skiers on the hill we are offering some of the best deals that we have ever offered. Our goal is to get you to experience Whistler-Blackcomb at its very best and very emptiest. The Whistler Shuttle is the way to get to ski during the Olympics! Come and see why Whistler-Blackcomb is regularly rated one of the best ski resorts in the world.
Ski during the Olympics by driving your car to the Horseshoe Bay Park-and-Ride location and step on a bus to the lifts. The price is right. The time is right. Book Now!

The ski and snowboard industry is the reigning monarch of Whistler’s economy. There really is no way to avoid getting excited when the snow flies like it has this month. Businesses in Whistler turn on the machine and all you hear is snow, snow, snow. No complaints here… In fact snow has become as much a rite of passage for many Whistler families as Thanksgiving or New Years.
Marketing 17 feet of snow in November can’t be super difficult. If they wished, Whistler-Blackcomb and their cohort could send the message far and wide that enough snow has fallen to bury a 5400kg male African elephant. Maybe I am a little presumptive, but it seems to me that the smashing of 100 year old snowfall records really markets itself.
Social media connections have led me to a local company that has done some work that has really impressed. Origin Design truly markets the snow to the world and they are great at what they do. What struck me the most about their work is how hey capture the business they represent and uniquely connect that company to the snow. Snow is snow is snow but somehow Origin has made snow uniquely Whistler-Blackcomb and uniquely Fernie.
It seems to me that marketing transportation is a little like marketing the snow… a bus is a bus is a bus. Transportation companies are traditionally late adopters of technology and very poor at marketing their service. At Transportation Whistler we haven’t spent a lot of time focused on official marketing efforts. Our focus has instead been on making our transportation company easy to work with: simple booking and simple transportation. Where does this all come together? Origin has challenged me to differentiate our marketing based on what makes us different. Transportation Whistler and Ridebooker are easy to work with and we should start getting that message out.
We are no marketing experts but I think we have learned something today. By the way, I have been laughing all day at the video below. This is ad is definitely a differentiator:

The snow starts falling and everyone gets a little nuts up here. Smiles on faces and people running in big boots replace the business walk. Yesterday was November 15/2009 and the snow was deep and the coverage was great. If everything carries on like this it will be a phenomenal year and the Games will really be the time to ski.
Just want to welcome the new season and say enjoy… see you in a lift line! WOOOOOOO!!!!!
