I'll add two things: Hike up to the top of the Chief using the trail at Shannon falls. Tough though not technical - all day though. The Chief itself is excellent granite and has routes from "easiest" to insanely difficult. Consult a proper guide book if you intend to climb. Visit the Squamish reservation and art shop (small and limited but inexpensive and authentic).
A good shop for climbing / hiking needs. www.mec.ca You need to be a member which is $5 for life. Prices tend to be about 20% to 30% lower than elsewhere. Check out the old "Gas-town" area with it's rather expensive Native art stores and "coffee houses" from Canada and now, Holland. Finally, Vancouver has great shopping, great Japanese (Sushi with live shrimp, live red snapper, ...), great Native restaurant(s), and great "clubbing" - and for you men: more women than men. See www.vancouver.ca http://www.tourismvancouver.com/visitors/ for some info... Sad to say, I won't make it to this event as it coincides with a go-live weekend.
