About Geoff Wickens
Expertise
I have a fairly vast knowledge of the history of The City of Vancouver, BC. All my knowledge has been learned through on-hands experience. I am apt to answer most any question in regards to the history of the city, the construction of its bridges and the history behind some of its buildings.

Experience
I drove cab for 5 years and in that time gave numerous city tours with full historical backgrounds. I have a thirst for history and an appetite for knowledge.

Subject: Vancouver to Big White

Question
Geoff, Thanks in advance for the answers already on this question.
I am checking to see if things have changed must since the last year.
We are a party of eight arriving into Vancouver from Sydney on the 26'th of jan . We have the weekend in Vancouver and will take your previous advice on what to see and do .
We would like to hire a mini bus or two to get to Big White for the Monday following. Unfortunately it appears that there is no one way to Kelowna car hire available?.

The idea is to head for Kelowna, stock up with ski hire, food etc , head up to Big White . Unload and then the drivers drop off to Kelowna and catch a shuttle back up to Big White.

Any advice would be appreciated.  

Answer
First off - let me say that I am not a skier and don't know a thing about shuttles or ski packages (other than what I read on websites).

While there may be no car service ... there is always a Greyhound Bus.  From the Kelowna depot I am sure you can get a cab to Big White - they may even have a shuttle from Kelowna (as you mentioned).

I hope this answers some of your questons and if I can be of any more service, let me know.

Enjoy your summer!
