Hey operators, I'm here again trying to develop Airsoft in the Whistler area.

A new field has opened just south of Whistler at the camp grounds (Avalanche Paintball). So yes, shoot-n-camp is definitely an option. I've talked to the owners about airsoft and they said they would love to have an airsoft game day or days.

I need your support! There are limited people up here that even know about airsoft so I'm hoping with your help, we (airsofters) can make a presence out of the box and encourage them to continue with airsoft at their facility. With camping available right on site I'm thinking this could be a two day event. There is two developed fields I think and unlimited anchorage beyond nestled in the middle of the mountains that they said were welcome to use.

I'll be going out there sometime this week to recon the area (pics to come) and try to figure out the details. If you have any interest in a mountain operation please sound off! I would love to make this happen.

Sam out

I'm curious, too. Appears to be a nice option.

I'll get the map data to show you the terrain.

So I've been to the property finally. It's about 4-5 acres developed and cleared, most of the cover is log piles and trees and such. No buildings but lot's of different angles of approach. The field can also be played up the side of a mountain,hamburger hill style. This area would be sufficient to play all day with different scenarios but the good part is that just past the developed area is another 30 ACRES OF UNDEVELOPED LAND with minimal underbrush that we would be given free reign over. They are welcoming an airsoft element to there business and are totally on board. We are welcome to develop our own area to be specific to airsoft and we are welcome to use the paintball side as well. I am now looking into rates for camping for any groups that we might put together and how much it would be for us to play with bb corkage. I hope you guys are on board with this if so I'll put it all together this week.

Thanks guys,
Here's some pics
