plans can be made for virtual
paint parties, too.

Scenic Rush
If driving an exotic supercar on the
beyond-scenic Sea-to-Sky High-
way would appeal to your group,
this fi ve-hour corporate event is a
real rush. Teams of two cover 120
kilometres, fi rst heading north from
Vancouver to Squamish, switching
seats halfway there. Then, everyone
ascends to the Summit Lodge on
the Gondola for lunch and to drink
in the gorgeous view, before driving
back in a different high-perfor-
mance car—Lamborghinis, Ferraris,
Audis and more.
