It seems like the last few threads on Muskoka, Tremblant and Texas here were helpful.
Aside from myself, guys like Maurice Mahar are experts on the IM Whistler course so hopefully we can answer all your questions, last moment panic and any logistics questions to get over there. It is also still open for registration so not too late to just dive in.
Personally I rank Whistler and Nice as the two most picturesque courses I have done and fantastic vacation experience for families. As we joked last year, Whistler has everything bigger and better than Tremblant. It's like Tremblant on EPO, Steroids, HGH and maybe some Floyd Landis Whiskey too. Perhap some of the local guys can also comment on the heat wave out west and water temps.....from what I recall, the hotter it gets in the mountains, the colder the lakes get due to snow run off. I'll try to post some pictures etc from last year. If Maurice sees this, he has 500% more intelligence on this course as I could give you since he runs a few camps there as well as having raced several times and coaching multiple athletes to Kona quals on this course.
Will also be interesting to see who shows up for the pro race. As the last race for the July KPR cut off, it might pull in some strong guys. Last year, Marino just lit up the course to get his KQ
