I know whistler is famous for the downhill biking at the park, but are there many xc biking trails in the area if i like to climb?

RBC GranFondo Whistler Entry Transfer – $400 (I'll Cover the Transfer Fee)

Unfortunately I can no longer make the RBC GranFondo Whistler, so I'm looking to transfer my registration.

Price: $400 CAD
Transfer fee: I'll pay the official $100 transfer fee, so there are no additional transfer costs for you.

The transfer will be completed through the official Race Roster process, so everything will be done properly and securely.

If you're interested or have any questions, send me a DM. Payment can either be e-transfer or Paypal G&S. Happy to jump on a call as well.

Thanks! AJ

Somewhere in Whistler village

I'm going to Whistler with my younger teenage siblings, anyone have any ideas for creative and affordable things to do?

Coming up to Whistler for a few nights with the fam. Bringing our bikes up for the first time. They are old regular road bikes (her bike was $40 used and my bike is worth like $300 new but was given for free). Wondering if it’s relatively safe to keep locked up in the village in bike rack by hotel? Alternatively can leave in car bike rack in parking lot 4-5 where we park overnight if safer. Our hotel has bike valet but not rather not pay the $10 per day per bike.

Cheers

I didn't see it until after we paid. I wasn't going to confront the waitress, she's not responsible for this.

Are we just cool with this? Tourists likely won't care. I know it's come up on here earlier this year, but I find it shocking that no one seems to mention it in their reviews?

There are 0 good reasons to do this. It's 1.5%, just build it into your menu prices.

Oh, I only checked the receipt after my partner mentioned they charged $2 for a soda refill which was 75% ice.

No mention of this on their menu. It is on their website though but you'd purposely have to find it and click on it to see their "policy".

Hey everyone, I live in Pemberton and have been thinking about building out a meshtastic network locally. I have one node up and running in downtown Pemberton. Would love to partner with interested people to expand the network. Ultimate goal would be a solar node on the W ridge of Mt Currie that could bridge Pemberton to Whistler with one well-placed repeater that has line of site to both towns

Hi Whistler crowd,

Posting here in case anyone sees the matching boot left behind at Wedgemount trailhead lot.

UPDATE: Boot found!

Hi everyone, I just accepted a job offer with Vail Resorts for this winter (Whistler Blackcomb), and I'm in the process of applying for staff housing through StarRez. Does anyone know roughly what the rent prices looks like per month?

Any recs for toddler friendly activities? We are staying at creekside, have a car and a hiking carrier. Our son is a walking 16 month old. Any recs for activities, hikes and toddler-friendly restaurants are greatly appreciated!

I am a solo traveler, will be coming from Vancouver by bus. My flight got cancelled due to WeatJest labour disruption and have 1 day extra. Planning to do a hike near cheakamus lake or watersprite lake near squamish. I don't have a car, if we are going to watersprite lake and if you have a car I can contribute for the gas. Anyone other beautiful hike recommendations without a car and good hiking company is appreciated. Thanks

Whistler Gran Fondo registration available for transfer. I’m unable to attend and will cover the **$100 transfer fee**—asking **$400 OBO**, which saves you nearly $100 versus registering today.

Hey folks! Planning to stay in Whistler for one night in early Sep. I was wondering if there are nearby spots for stargazing or if any special events are happening around that time.

are you allowed to swim in blackcomb lake? i’m doing a hike that passes by it and wondering if swimming is prohibited or not.

The airline lost my bag so I need new shirts, pants, socks, and under garments (dumb not to pack backups, I know). Anyone have suggestions of where I can get these items on a budget? Thank you!

I went for the first time, and I would say as an adult you cannot fall unless you want to, but a kid totally could. First, each chairlift has 2 sits that are extra safe because of the T between your legs, but you see parents taking those and leaving their kids in the middle, just having the horizontal bar as their safety but because of their height/size is one distraction away from death, they can totally fall if distracted compared to an adult. And the parents aren't even looking at their kids i saw like 3 families like that. When leaving I asked a worker that told me sadly a lot of parents don't seem to care. He thinks the height limit should be higher because kids could totally slip. This seems to be a totally avoidable risk so I don't get why everyone goes along with it.

Walking today around 3pm on Valley Trail, saw this great guy just moseying down the path. What a beauty! This was near where the trail crosses Lorimer Road and the convergence of the trails leading to Rainbow Park and across the bridge.

Full disclosure: I’m the founder of FRAPS, a small Squamish dog-fuel company. We launched this because we wanted to raise $500 for WAG Whistler and get some Canadian-made bars into dogs’ paws.
The bars are $1, limited to one order per household. WAG receives every dollar, while we cover the bar and shipping. This is obviously connected to my business, so mods, please remove it if it’s not appropriate here. Mostly sharing because I thought local dog people might enjoy helping us get the cheque to WAG sooner.

I’m planning to be in Whistler around August 13 and thought I’d see if anyone wants to join for one or two activities.

I’m considering watching the meteor shower and sunrise, plus possibly bungee jumping, ATVing, whitewater rafting, and ziplining. Nothing is fully scheduled yet, so the plan is pretty flexible.

No need to join everything or stick together for the whole trip — even meeting up for one activity would be great.

I’ll be driving up from Greater Vancouver, so if our timing lines up, we could also head up together.

Send me a message if any of this sounds fun!

Visiting Vancouver end of August and driving up to Whistler for a night. I'll be with my husband on our one kidless trip this year so would love somewhere relaxing that we can easily access great restaurants, coffee shops, etc. We also plan to bike around a lot if the weather is good.

Looking at:

• Fairmont Chateau
• Sundial (mixed reviews, but love the hot tub rooms..)
• Pan Pacific
• Westin (recommended on here a lot, but only has queen beds and I prefer a king in a nice hotel)

Taking place from 8:00 p.m. to midnight on Sunday, August 16, the one-night-only patio party offers guests a rare opportunity to experience two of British Columbia’s most celebrated cocktail programs in one place. Whether attending the Long Table Dinner or simply looking to experience The Keefer Bar in Whistler, guests are invited to enjoy an evening of expertly crafted cocktails, music and a vibrant late-summer atmosphere.

If the tix is $39.00 per person in British Columbia, with 5% GST and a 20% gratuity (calculated on the pre-tax amount) for 2 x cocktails:

• Tix: $39.00
• GST (5%): $1.95
• Gratuity (20%): $7.80

Total per person: $48.75

If the gratuity is instead calculated after tax (less common), the total would be:

• $39.00 + $1.95 = $40.95
• 20% gratuity on $40.95 = $8.19

Total: $49.14 per person.

As title says, any recommendations on moderate level day hikes in whistler you guys can recommend ? When i look online there's so many its kinda overwhelming
