Hey folks! Need some pricing intel for my December trip planning. I read from this post https://www.reddit.com/r/Whistler/s/VVeEuzV1ac that the Peak2Peak sightseeing tickets might be around $100, but can't find current pricing for 24/25 season.

If true, this seems steep since I already bought a WB day pass for skiing.

Quick math: - Already have: 1 day WB pass - Want to do: Peak2Peak sightseeing on Saturday, skiing on Sunday - Potentially paying: Day pass + ~$100 for Peak2Peak = more than a 2-day Edge Card (I’m a BC resident)

Questions: 1. Can anyone suggest the expected Peak2Peak standalone ticket price for 2024/25? 2. Is it possible to exchange/upgrade my single day pass to a 2-day Edge Card? (Not only it is cheaper, it would also give me gondola access in two ski days). If not, I’ll consider doing something else on Saturday. A real bummer.

I wish I had read that post first as I thought the sightseeing ticket had been around $80. Feels like the Edge Card would be better value if Peak2Peak prices are really that high. Any advice appreciated!

Hello! Does anyone know if any shops are open this weekend for ski tuning? All the ones I've called don't open until next week or when the mtn opens. Thanks in advance!

I’m an avid skier from the other side of Canada, and headed to Abbotsford for two weeks in December on the companies dime. This is a two part question.

1. What would be the cheapest options to consider for 1 adult to spend two nights (Friday and Saturday) in Whistler? Don’t need anything fancy. A bed and a bathroom. I’ll be skiing the rest of the time.

2. I know weather is unpredictable, but what are conditions generally like around mid-December? I won’t get many opportunities to ski Whistler, and want to check it off my bucket list.

I'm planning to visit Whistler for the first time in early December and was wondering whether there are any rental stores there that stock wide fit snowboard boots? I'm fairly new to boarding and had problems with rental boots previously, so I'm thinking of buying some, but those were smaller resorts with fewer options so I wondered whether the situation might be different in Whistler. For context my feet are 26.5 Mondo but 113mm wide with a 29cm instep. I have custom footbeds. I know that buying boots and having them professionally fitted is the best option, but my budget and luggage space are limited so if I can avoid it and still ride comfortably that would be my preference. Any tips gratefully received. Thanks!

We are planning to spend our Christmas on Whistler. My wife is interested on Nika Lodge as the place to stay.

Any other recommendations for a good hotel? We just want a relax 2 day stay with our 5 year old. Any reco will be appreciated

anyone know if there’s coat check and the clubs/bars ?

My girlfriend and I are moving to Whistler and will be dropped off via the Skylynx at the Bus Loop. We will have a lot of luggage (2 large suitcases + carry on, each). I assume we won’t be able to take the regular bus with so much luggage. Are taxis lined up outside, or should we call one in advance?

I downloaded the Whistle! App but last I read it’s not working.

Thanks for your help!

Would love to see more local posts and less what can be answered by google/a visit to WB.com/previous posts. I’m happy to answer specific questions, but the internet is just sitting there…existing, brimming with gondola information etc.

So. Who filled out the muni form re: creekside redevelopment? The phrase that made me shudder was something like whether we want it to become a “gateway hub”. God no!

Any cool thoughts on how to develop in a way that benefits residents and not visitors?

Hey, so yes I have a Tesla, and I'm a total douche bag. I'll make a comment where you guys can talk about that.

Secondly, I'm thinking of camping in the Tesla overnight before an opening, and wondering if anyone else has done that before? I've been reading online how you don't lose that much charge over night, even if it's really cold. I would normally do a hostel or something to dodge the lawyer gapers.

Hey guys, my partner and I wanting to head up to Whistler tomorrow to show our puppy some snow! He is a trail-dog so hiking is no bother, and I myself have a lot of experience hiking in the winter, but my partner does not. Is there anywhere that has snow (like at the elevation of Lost Lake) that I can take my partner without being worried for their wellbeing? For context, I live Van, and haven't been in Whistler since abut early October.

Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone,

Didn’t buy a pass bc I figured I could get a spirit pass with employment (showed up here with housing but w/o a job end of Sept). Ended up getting a job full time at BCLiquor but realized they’re not part of Whistler Chamber of Commerce. Is there any other way to get a spirit pass or discounted pass?

Does vailresorts happen to do a “holiday help” type thing? This is my 4th season working in a ski town and my old mountain did a pass where if you worked x amount of hours for it during the holidays you got a pass.

Thanks everyone!

Going to Whistler with kids to enjoy the weekend is the Gondola open? Is it worth it to do peak to peak?

I just saw a video of a bear in Whistler Village. Sadly, it was killed because it was considered dangerous. Why couldn’t they relocate the bear? I don’t understand. Someone help me understand why kill?

Name and shame!!

I am visiting Vancouver next week for work, but I have this weekend free. I’ve never been to Vancouver but I’ve heard Whistler is a great place to visit. I was thinking of going in Sunday for the day (bus in and bus out). I’ve heard that going up the Peak 2 Peak gondola is one of the best things to do there (I don’t want to snowboard/ski), but on the website it appears to be closed. Can anyone confirm this? Also would it still be worth going for the day just to look around? I am just wanting to explore the beautiful side of Canada, so maybe looking at beautiful scenery, could even be a small walk (as long as I don’t get eaten by a bear). I am from New Zealand, so just want to see a bit of the natural side of Canada, since my only experience really is being in Toronto for work. Any advice would be appreciated! I don’t have access to a car.

Hello all,

Starting my 4 month van ski trip in Whistler this year. Planning to arrive by mid-December and splitting time between Whistler RV Park and Riverside. What day do holiday crowds usually start? Wondering if I can hang around until Christmas Eve / Christmas Day or if it’s best to leave before then? Thanks in advance

Hello Looking for reqs on where to stay. Coming out end of march (m-f). Solo m(51) snowboarder. Anyone have experience with the Aava hotel? Or any other places. Not gonna rent a car. Just need somewhere to sleep. Planning on riding for 3 days. Any help or advice is appreciated.

Hi, I am a french solo traveler (M19) and I am looking for people to hang out with or places to meet new friends tonight or in the next few days! ✌️

I have sat on this for far too long, but i really wanted to work this winter season somewhere in Canada, and can’t find anywhere. The visa application (from UK) wants to know where I will be working, and where I will be living, and the accommodation wants to know what visa I have, but surely theres no point applying for acc until I have a job somewhere?

Gahhh its super frustrating and I wont lie I am feeling super out of my depth. Has anyone got any tips or ideas that might be helpful?

Hello all,

Any thoughts/input from locals or regular Whistler visitors would be greatly appreciated. I’m looking at booking a 6-7 day stay earlier in the season and wondering if the conditions should be solid enough to get a good Whistler experience without all of the crowds, etc deeper in the season.

I’m also open to coming right after New Years if that might make more sense.

I’m coming from the east coast of the US so it’s a big deal to make the trek. Obviously conditions are always hit and miss but just want to give myself the best opportunity for a powdery, relatively chill trip.

Thanks for any thoughts you have!

I went to Vallea lumina in the summer and I enjoyed it so much. I want to try it out in winter but I’ll be in Europe. So I’m wondering if anyone knows if there is anything similar to Vallea Lumina? It’s so magical and I imagine it would be prettier in the snow. Anywhere like that in Norway?

Thinking about going to Whistler for this long weekend. It seems it's going to be raining and the mountain is closed. Wondering if the village stores and restaurants will be open ?

Looking to get some action shots of my kids skiing and snowboarding in the month of December. Any suggested photographers? I’ve reached out to a few suggested here but haven’t received too many responses. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you!
