Panorama Ski Trip Itinerary
Hey guys,
we've had a few people ask now but just to remind everyone, the itinerary was posted online 2 weeks ago under "overview" on the trip page.
http://www.backsidetours.com/trips/UACB12-S1202
If you are having trouble viewing this, I have pasted a copy below for everyone. Please don't be late as we will not wait very long to pick people up. We do have a list of who we are meant to pick up in each city. And again there is a liquor license for the bus but only until we reach the BC border.
We are very excited to see you all on friday! If you have any questions feel free to email! See you all in 3 days!

Panorama Mountain Village at a Glance
