Whistler seems to be getting rated relatively high. What are the downsides to Whistler and why isn't this race sold out? Same weekend as IMLP?
Downside of Whistler if you are anywhere but the Pacific Northwest is you have to fly. IMLP, everyone drives there. There are like 50M people within driving distance of IMLP....for Whistler is is barely 5M people. Other than that Whister is slightly tougher than LP BUT I bet you if Whistler was exactly where LP was located and LP was where Whistler is located, Whister would sell out and LP would not. Its mainly a population thing.
Up side of Whistler is you are in Whistler. It is waaaaay cheaper onsite than LP with much better accommodations.
