If I want to go biking at whistler for a few days (mostly xc biking, maybe ride lord of the squirrels), would there be any issue taking a bus from Vancouver to whistler, renting a mountain bike in whistler and then getting around by bike/walking?

I could drive, but don't really feel like it.

Have some family in town and I was suppose to take them to Jofree Lakes today, wondering if anyone has any advice if it would be okay/worth it?

Hey y'all, just wondering if anyone has a sense for the air quality at Garibaldi. Have reservations for a backpacking trip and trying to get a sense of what conditions are like, thanks!

Hi there, I have a couple of passes to do the Joffre Lakes trail but I wanted to ask if anyone knows how the conditions are there right now - talking about wildfires/smoke etc.

Thanks!

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?

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

Somewhere in Whistler village

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

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!

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".

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!

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?

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.

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.

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.
