TripIt & Google Calendar - time zone issues

I sync TripIt calendar with my Google Calendar. The problem is that Google thinks the TripIt calendar is in GMT, while my actual timezone is Pacific (PST/PDT). This results in all TripIt events showing up 7 hours earlier than they should.

E.g., a flight leaving SFO at 11am shows up in Google at 4am.

I don't see any way to change the Google Calendar's specific timezone if it's an imported webcal such as TripIt, it's not an editable field.

I reported this to TripIt and they seem to be able to reproduce it, but then say it's a Google issue. They are probably right.

I reported it on Google Help Forum but no official response for several months.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I would think that these days TripIt and Google would be a common combination of tools, but I can't find anyone else discussing this problem anywhere. A fluke in my account? Am I mad?

Thanks for any help or suggestions!
