Microsoft parties at Whistler

Let’s face it, we tech folk tend to often be indoors types, and social side of conferences is often indoor-focused parties.

That’s one of the main reasons with Web Directions North we decided to add some adventure - trips to Blackcomb Whistler after the formal part of the conference is over.

The response has been pretty amazing, so much so that we’ll be adding

extra coaches for the trip up. Don’t be afraid if you have never skied or boarded before, there’ll be plenty of people just like you, and lots of people to lend you all kind of encouragement and support.

But if you are still not convinced, how’s this?

Microsoft’s browser and web development tool teams are sponsors of Web Directions North, and in addition to all their other great support, are sponsoring the Whistler Trip. On both Friday and Saturday, the fantastic GLC bar at the base of the main ski lift will be open to WDN attendees for free food and drinks from 12 noon all the way to 6pm, when the coach will pick you up to whisk you back to Vancouver.

Most of our speakers, all of the organizers, and many of your peers will be heading up the hill. So, why not take an extra day or two and join us?

We’re doing the trip at cost, $CDN120 gets you the return coach, plus lift tickets, plus an open bar and food in one of Whistler’s best bars. The trip is only open to conference goers, just another reason to get on up to Vancouver for Web Directions North

Thanks to the Microsoft browser and dev tools teams for all your support!
