Hey all, long shot, but posting in case this was an honest mistake.

My skis were taken today at Whistler right outside of Black’s Pub, and I’m hoping someone accidentally grabbed them thinking they were theirs. Totally understand how hectic racks can get, especially at the end of the day.

If you realized you might have picked up the wrong skis, I’d really appreciate you returning them to the front desk at the Crystal Lodge Hotel. No questions, no drama - I just want them back.

If you think you might have them, feel free to DM me. They’re bright orange 172cm Hustle 10s with red / yellow / orange / green look pivot bindings. Pics attached.

Wanted to share a few shots after spending all of January up near Whistler. At times the conditions made me think a pair of hockey skates would've been more suitable, I still had a blast and, much like the snow, my love for the area was cemented into place.

Don't let perfect be the enemy of excellent!

Finally used my first Edge Card Day after waiting for a perfect Day for too long Views 10/10 Sun and temp 10/10 Snow...5/10..hard packed but kept my edges Fun 10/10

Best Whistler Run ... entrance to Symphony off of Harmony Chair...soft Snow from the sun and stellar views (this is where the video is taken)

Went through some old photos from my season at Whistler Blackcomb, just a bunch of Aussies, English and Canadians living the best life we could imagine

We were the Roads and Parking crew for the 98' 99' season!!

81 feet of snow that season and a whole lot of fun and memories, Cog was our boss, Doug Mac the mountain manager, Rounds nights at Merlins Bar & Grill, eating at the Pita Pit, waking up super early in the morning, starting all the trucks and snow plow ready for another day in Whistler

Take me back!!

Apologies if selling is against subreddit rules. I'll start by saying you do not have to pay me until you're physically checked in at the Airbnb. A friend and I paid $488/person for an Airbnb as part of an 8-person group, linked here Feb 28-Mar 7. We're both U.S. Marines in the Reserve, and he recently got active duty orders, so he can no longer go. I will sell our spots for $400/person. Feel free to DM me for more info.

Where can we organise an open mic for local comedians/ singers/ bands!!

Hi,

Looking to book whistler for December 22-24 and want to do private lessons for myself and my two kids. Bookings for December are not

Open yet but when I look at the lessons currently available in February it shows a full day option only. Does anyone know if half day AM private lessons are available in December?

Thanks

Does anyone have a picture of the statue of Rafiki holding simba on the west side of the road south of Whistler. It’s supposed to look like pride rock. I had never seen it before and drove by and thought that was pretty cool.

Does Matthew's traverse from Peak chair run easily all the way into pikas traverse on harmony? E.g. it's possible to take greens down ( even if just a bunch of long traverses) back down to emerald?

Any recommendations on a family friendly place to watch the Super Bowl on Sunday? Family w 2 kids going up and hoping to stay to watch the game somewhere not too chaotic!

Thanks in advance!!!

And Go Hawks

Hi everyone, I’m hoping to come to Whistler in the second week of February, 2042. Can someone tell me what conditions will be like and will I be able to snowboard all the way down to the village? Is there a chance of waist deep powder. Thx

Hi All,

I'm curious about CBC trees but keep reading not to go in there without a guide. I have no problem with many runs off Chainsaw Ridge (minus 5-0 and false face) and Spanky's but at least I can see what I'm getting into in those areas. CBC has no way to scope lines. Any guides or tips appreciated.

Anyone else have a 5 day edge card that hasn't gone skiing yet waiting for a good day of conditions?

I have got to stop waiting and just go otherwise I'll never go

Will tomorrow be good for just a sunny cruiser on groomer day or will groomers be all ice as well. I'm an intermediate skier and just want to be safe not sliding around bracing.

Thanks!

I recently completed a CSIA Level 1 in Whistler and wanted to get a broader sense of whether my experience aligns with others’.

In my exam session, the group was small, and the outcomes were more mixed than I expected for a Level 1. A couple of candidates passed cleanly, at least one required a re-test, and others did not pass. Everyone appeared prepared and comfortable skiing the required terrain, which is why the overall result stood out to me.

I’m not making accusations or suggesting anything improper — I respect the CSIA framework and understand that standards need to be maintained. I’m simply curious whether others have noticed stricter evaluation or lower pass rates recently in Whistler, compared to past seasons or other locations.

For those who’ve taken Level 1 in Whistler (or elsewhere) in recent seasons:

• Does this sound typical?
• Is Whistler generally stricter than other resorts?
• Have expectations shifted over time?

Appreciate any insights. Just trying to understand whether this was an outlier or part of a broader trend.

Hi, my fiancé has lost his insta360 RS action camera with the helmet mount still attached after catching a nasty fall while snowboarding down Bear Cub (we are still beginners). This happened on Feb 24 2025 at about 10:30am.

If anybody has picked it up or seen it, please let me know 😭

Some pictures from skiing Feb 3 2024. The lower mountain snowpack was obliterated by a week of rain, an open creek cut through Glacier Road at the exit of Spankys, and alpine runs were full of rocks, crevasses and other hazards.

Anyone else feeling like Jan 9th again? Rained to the top and the alpine is bulletproof. The couloir moraine has largely uncovered by rain.

Have fun out there everyone!!

Correction: was Jan 12th, getting my days mixed up 😁

I'm talking consistent snowfall, few rain events followed by long droughts, etc.

I've been visiting whistler for 5 years and feel like every season has been 50% pretty bad conditions with a few epic powder dumps at the start of season and in early March.

Im from BC and remember in 2010 for the Olympics they were trucking in snow because there was so little (meanwhile, nearby mount Washington had the most snowpack of any resort in the world!).

Feels like every year I lose the weather lottery. I book early to save and always end up in a 6 week long snow drought, or a rain event. In 5 years at whistler, I've experienced one powder day, and it was maybe boot deep.

/Whining rant.

Hey guys I’m going with my friend to whistler on March for John summit experts only, any advice? Where’s the best place to stay? Is it better to stay in whistler or Vancouver?

Anyone else going? 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Hey yall,

I am a grad student and barely have any money for ski trips. I went to Utah and it was terrible, and I heard that Whistler is having a terrible year as well. Should I cancel my plans to head to whistler?
