Whistler Ski/Board Rentals

If you’re planning to join us at Whistler after Web Directions (only a week away!), you might be wondering how to go about renting gear.

If you want to pick up gear or rent in town, you could make a short trip to the Kitsilano area, specifically around the West 4th/Burrard intersection. There’s a selection of skiing and boarding stores that provide rentals and skiwear and all the sort of stuff you’ll need up on the hill.

But, we highly recommend using Whistler’s own rental service to pre-book what you need online. The service checks all the stores up at the hill for gear, allowing you to go and pick up what you rent upon arriving. Couldn’t be easier.

The locations closest to our official lodge are the Solomon Store, Carleton Rentals, and G1 Rentals, otherwise known as numbers 1, 2, and 3 on this map. During the day, the Garibaldi Lift Co. bar/restaurant that Microsoft has so generously reserved and opened up to all conference attendees will serve as the WDN lodge and hangout spot. It’s #6 on this map, and conveniently located at the base of Whistler itself.

Can you tell we’re excited yet?
