Whistler Rentals

So, by now you’ve got your conference pass, your plane trips booked, and your Whistler tickets covered. You’re all set… right?

There’s one more piece of the puzzle you might have been wondering about: if you don’t have your own, where do you rent gear for Whistler? The easiest answer is to book online directly through Whistler’s rental shop and pick up your gear when we arrive Friday morning. It’s the least hassle, and simple to arrange in advance. Most of us went this route last year, and will do so again this year.

If you’re looking for a bargain however, you might want to check out some of the shops in town before you head up to the hill; a short taxi ride over the bridge to the 1700 block of West 4th Ave. gets you to the nexus of snow and surf shops in town (6 within spitting distance of each other), some of them handle rentals. And a little further east there’s Sports Junkies who have some of the best rates you’ll find. The only catch with renting in town will be arranging your own pickup the day before and dropoff the day after, as they won’t be open before we leave in the morning, and likely will have closed for the day by the time we get back down from the hill.
