BCCC Thunder in the Mountains (08/01/2008 - 08/04/2008)
 

Now that the New Year is well under way we thought that you might be planning your Corvette summer right about now. If that’s the case, the BC Corvette Club would like to take this opportunity to invite you to join us at Whistler in August for our annual celebration of all things Corvette.

This will be our 21st Thunder in the Mountains. The previous twenty were great but this one is going to be even better. Over the years, countless numbers of our Corvette friends from south of the border have joined us to make the gathering something really special. This year we’re going to fit in as much as possible with a reception on Friday evening, a Show & Shine on Saturday, a banquet with a noted guest speaker on Saturday evening and an Auto-Cross on Sunday. Monday will be a day to enjoy a Whistler experience; one of countless outdoor or indoor activities.

For those not wishing to participate in all of the Corvette events there is lots to do. Whistler has it all: restaurants, great shopping, spa visits, golfing – choice of 3 courses, fly fishing, walking, hiking, white water rafting, canoeing, cycling of all types, ATV tours, glacier tours, horseback riding, jet boating, swimming and mini golf just to name a few. If you feel four days of the event will not be enough time to take in Whistler, consider extra days to make a mini vacation. You’re probably aware that Whistler will host the 2010 Olympic Winter Games and preparations are well under way.

Despite what we hear in the press, crossing the border is not a big deal if you’re prepared. Certainly having a valid passport is the way to go but there may be other options. Because there have been so many changes to the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, something our governments have put together, log onto the US State Department website and to the Canada Border Services website for current information.

We’re looking forward to seeing you August 1st to 4th, so please start planning to join us. Use the links below for a flyer and registration form...  We have added incentives for you to get your completed registration in to us before March 31/08. Check out the registration form for details. If you have any questions contact Jim at jimdwaugh@shaw.ca.

We’ll see you in Whistler,

Tim
