Equipment Rentals
summitsport.com - Summit is very convenient if you need to hire gear as it is located at the base of both mountains - right next to the lifts, offers complimentary ski and snowboard storage with every rental, and if you book on line you will get a discount on the in store price.
affinityrentals.com - We like Affinity too and they have a convenient location right next to our condo! They also open early and late so you can sort out your rentals the night you arrive if it is before 10pm and be ready to hit the slopes bright and early, or leave it until 7am on your first morning. If you are flying in from the UK – you will be up and about by 6.30am on your first morning so why not make the most of it!
Check the excellent Whistler Blackcomb website for events and other activities that you can enjoy during your stay, including Ziptrekking, Dog Sledding and Snow mobiling.
For activities that don’t revolve around snow, you can also up the sports centre at Meadow Park. They have an ice sheet for skating, a fully equipped gym, a 25m pool, plus a great fun kids pool and hottub. There’s also The Core in the village, which does yoga, has a gym and a great indoor rock climbing wall. Get one of the instructors to dig out the blindfold goggles if you really fancy a challenge!
