Things to do in Whistler

Drew

From Drew's guidebook

A few tips for your ski day: check the epic mix app for lift statuses and wait times, try Fresh Tracks (a breakfast buffet in roundhouse and early access to the mountain. on a pow day, make sure to get in-line by 6:45 or so), warm cinnamon buns at Chick Pea (by the top of Garbanzo chair), vegetarian food with great views at Raven's Nest (bottom of Big Red chair), warm waffles at Crystal Hut (top of Crystal Chair).

Leanne

From Leanne's guidebook

Hiking Whistler Blackcomb is one of those things that locals forget to do in the summer, but if you purchase your season's pass early then you get free access all summer long to take the gondola up and enjoy all scenic views. There are marmots and pikas to be found amongst the rocks, and glacier lakes to jump in to refresh after hiking on the Overlord trail on Blackcomb. Equally as impressive is the High Note trail on Whistler. It's 16km round trip. Last but not least, there's the Spearhead traverse for the go getters. I'd recommend hiring a guide for this one. Traversing the Spearhead mountain range was completed for the first time back in the 60’s as a winter ski trip. Now with the new addition of the Spearhead Huts, a summer crossing is possible and very rewarding experience. It is a mountaineering classic!

Errin

From Errin's guidebook
