Three days away from the office with the people who show up every week. Ten to twelve of us, two nights, one working morning, and the rest is hot tubs, dinner and whatever game Ryan has cooked up.
Planning. Dates and place to be picked.Every price is an estimate per person, all in: room for two nights, the working morning with meals, the big dinner, and the travel to get there. Open a card for the day-by-day plan, the cost breakdown and links to the hotels and tours. Nothing is booked.
Midweek, Wednesday to Friday, like last year. Flight prices are per person return from Edmonton to Kelowna, taxes in, as Google Flights showed them on November 8, 2026. They only matter for the Okanagan options, but they show which weeks are cheap.

This is the skeleton every option follows. The cards above change the where; this is the what. It is last year's shape with the two things people asked for added: a hot seat for everyone and more of the afternoon free.
Two nights away with the people who show up every week. One working morning, one big dinner, a hot tub, and a game. Say you're in below, then pay your share.
Tell Ryan and Geneva whether you are in, how you want to sleep, and whether a short flight is fine. You can change your answer later.
The per-person amount is set once the place is picked. Last year it was $400.57, tax and tip in, for the working morning, meals and the dinner. Rooms and flights are booked and paid by each person.

This is a brainstorming board. Nothing is decided. Add, change or suggest anything. "Price Radium for the same dates", "Move the dinner to Thursday" or "Add a snowmobile afternoon" all work.
