Have visited this store previously without reviewing it. Back in Whistler and needed a few new things so I went there once again. The staff are very helpful and polite, amongst other things I purchased new ski poles, a few days later my ski instructor suggested I needed shorter poles to ski with, so I returned to discuss it with the staff who happily exchanged my then used poles with a new pair of shorter ones. I have purchased boots previously through the store boot fitter Barry and even a couple of years later he is happy to make minor adjustments on them! Certainly second to none with the customer service.

Whistler’s Peak 2 Peak Gondola offers the most accessible and awe-inspiring scenic experience in all of Canada’s Coast Mountains. Suspended a record 436 metres above the valley floor, the Gondola transports guests over the 4.4km span between Whistler and Blackcomb mountains year-round. Skiers and boarders can easily take advantage of all 8171 acres of terrain offered in the winter season, and hikers/sightseers enjoy terrific views of the region’s glaciers and peaks, as well as access to an expanded trail network on both mountains in the summer season.

We went to Whistler, took the gondola up Whistler Mountain which takes approx 25 minutes, then the Peak 2 Peak gondola to Blackcomb takes another 11 minutes. We took the glass bottom gondola back to the Whistler side where there is hike you can take to reach the ski lifts to take you to the very top where there is a new attraction- the Cloudraker Skybridge and Raven's Eye. It is spectacular! The ski lift was a bit unnerving for someone like me as I have never been skiing and it's an open air chair lift - and it is high, like, really HIGH up there. The ski lift ride takes about 10 minutes. Once you reach the top you can walk around on easier trails for the most amazing views; walk on the Cloudraker Skybridge and Raven's Eye outlook and then you take the ski lift back down a level where you will hike back to the gondola level. The hike is only about 10 minutes but may not be suitable for all health conditions as it is hilly and composed of dirt and gravel. You should wear good walking shoes. There is a height restriction to ride the ski lift. It is very cold up there so you need to wear layers. We initially had trouble locating the Peak 2 Peak starting point, but we asked at the gallery and they were most helpful. You should park in lots 1 - 5 and go to the Upper Village.The starting point is right in the Village. Whistler is such a friendly place, so do not be afraid to ask someone for information.

Feel the wind in your face as you cruise down the exhilarating bubly Tube Park! Located at the Base 2 area on Blackcomb Mountain, the Tube Park is great fun for the young and the young at heart. There's no experience or equipment required - just a sense of adventure and a desire for excitement. Tubing lanes are up to 300 m long and a state-of-the-art conveyor lift means getting back to the top for another run is easy! The Tube Park is easy to access via the Excalibur Gondola and parking lots 6-8.

We got there when they first opened and it wasn’t crowded. They had 4 runs opened but one run was for small kids. The staff was very friendly and our kids had a great time.
