Well, we didn’t get to ski because covid-19 closed everything. But I’ll tell you this. We were booked to rent skis from Black Tie. Last minute our son’s High School baseball was canceled for the virus and so we last minute added him to our reservation. They were so excited and made that addition so easy. They were forthcoming with promotions that I never would have look for in the fury of trying to get out of the house for vacation. They really helped us out. Fast forward several hours and the slopes end up closing. Another call to Black Tie, and no problem! Cancelation policies out the window, full refund. When I had to cancel I ended up speaking to the same gal as I did a few hours before when I added my son. She was genuinely bummed out for me, even though I did not ask for pity. She was so sweet, so kind, and so accommodating. Others (Ridebooker) made cancelation difficult for us. Black Tie made a difficult time a little easier, despite the fact that they must be under incredible stress and uncertainty. We canceled a vacay- big whoop in the long term- they have a crisis. But they were so professional and didn’t forget that there was a customer on the other side. I really hope everyone rents skis from these guys when we can all hit the slopes again.
8. Whistler Year-Round Fishing
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 144 reviews
After picking you up from your accommodation in Whistler we will get you looking like a local BC angler by putting you in a pair of waders and boots. This allows you to get into the water and stay completely dry! Depending on the time of year, you may catch Rainbow Trout, Bull Trout or Cutthroat Trout and your experienced fishing guide will select a water body that will give you the best chance of catching one of these species. Because of this, you may be fishing in a small stream, river or lake. Our thought process is simple. Drive less and fish more to maximize your time out on the water fishing. There are plenty of lunkers a short drive from the Whistler village.

10. Lost Lake

A 15-minute shuttle ride from Whistler, this lake is perfect for those who want to take a break from the slopes and jog, walk or picnic by its peaceful shores.
Reviewed By liketOtravel00742 - London, United Kingdom
A pretty little lake that is close to Whistler Village and easily accessible on foot, by bike or using the municipality's free summer shuttle, which runs from the Gateway Loop by the Whistler gondola every 15 minutes. There's a beach, a doggie beach further along, a dock around the far side of the lake, and an easy to walk loop of a couple of kilometres. There are toilets, a place to top up a water bottle, and sometimes a food truck in on site. On a hot day, it does get very busy. So be warned. And the water really isn't all that warm. That's it! Enjoy.
