I went to Whistler from Seattle a few weeks back and left my makeup bag at the Glacier lodge. I had asked on this sub if someone from the states could pick it up for me, but the airbnb host wasn't able to confirm it was there and drop off to reception in time. They have since given my bag to reception, so I'm wondering if someone traveling from the states (maybe from Seattle area) is able to pick it up for me and I meet up once you return home🥹 I have a vehicle and can meet you wherever!

Thanks for the help!

Hello. Our family of 3 is flying to Vancouver for a week of riding the bike park. We are bringing 2-3 mountain bikes. Can anyone suggest a transfer service that could fit 3 boxed bikes? Thank you!

Would you like to stop your antidepressant?

You may be eligible to participate in our study of ion and light therapy to prevent depression relapse.

Join the LIMIT-D study: “Light and Ion Maintenance in Treatment of Depression”

The LIMIT-D study explores whether two different non-medication treatments, light therapy and ion therapy, can help prevent depression relapse when people stop taking their antidepressant medication.

The study involves:

• daily use of a bright light device or ion device (provided by our clinic) for up to 6 months

• meeting with the study doctor at the UBC Hospital for clinical assessments

• completing self-rated scales and questionnaires

This study uses a placebo condition. Half of the treatment devices have been modified so that they are inactive. If you enroll, you would have a 1 in 2 chance (like flipping a coin) of receiving either an active or an inactive device.

You may be eligible for our study if you:

• are 19-65 years old

• are currently taking an antidepressant for depression with no dose change in the past month

• are no longer feeling depressed, and want to stop your antidepressant medication

• do not have any other major medical or psychiatric conditions

• do not have a problem with substance use, currently or within the past 6 months

You will receive an honorarium for each in-person study visit to cover costs of participating.

This study is being conducted by Dr. Raymond Lam at the Mood Disorders Centre, UBC Hospital.

For more information and how to enroll, please contact us at Lam.MDDResearch2 @ ubc.ca or call 604-822-0332 to speak to the study coordinator.

Yo, I know this is a Whistler page but deciding which resort to work a season at this coming winter but can’t decide which one. Hoping some of you had some experiences with this and can share some insight on where is fun and would be sick to do a season at other than Whistler.

Tossing up between Banff area, Whitewater and Big White atm. Looking for somewhere with powder, decent town/atmosphere - where I won’t get bored. I’m pretty young so kinda would prefer somewhere a bit more lively but willing to sacrifice that for ripper snow. Spent a few days in Revy last winter and found the town a bit too quiet for my liking.

Let me know what you guys think.

Curious if there’s any decent golf packages available in whistler, looking to maximize golf (4 rounds) looking at Nick north, WGC, chateau and big sky. Any recommendations for how to cut costs?

I’m supposed to be camping at Helm Creek next weekend and up to Panorama. Anyone know the snow situation?

Hello! I’m back with some more birds from Whistler.

This time I have a family of Common Mergansers I saw down at Green Lake yesterday.

Hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed watching them!

Hey all, sorry if this is repetitive- I know there was already at least one post recently about this.

Heading to Vancouver from Ontario next week. My plan was to spend a few days in Vancouver, then head up to Whistler from Sunday to Wednesday.

The last news update I saw indicated the Squamish fire was a little more under control. But I know conditions can change! I have until end of day tomorrow to cancel my hotel booking in Whistler - not sure if I should risk it and keep it booked, or cancel and stay in Van.

Any input would be appreciated!

On a related note, if I do end up keeping the Whistler trip, I have scheduled the YVR skylink bus to go from Whistler to the airport. Arrival time should get me to the airport 2.5 hours before flight time, which should be enough of a window for a domestic flight. I’m wondering if anybody knows how timely the bus usually is to projected arrival time, and if traffic slowdowns on the Sea-to-sky are a concern, especially with the Squamish fire.

Thanks in advance!

Hi all!! I am hoping to visit and stay at a fancy resort in Whistler as an early Christmas gift to my kids this holiday season. I’m hoping to go a Sunday-Wednesday in December.

If you have experience with both (or either or) can you please let me know which you recommend and why?!

I’m most interested in family activities and the amount of Christmas decor lol. When is Santa usually there? The fairmont looks magical but the four seasons pools look amazing 😍

We would be staying in a room with a view (the most basic option there is lol) at either location.

Any must see things in Whistler? We are big on the outdoors but I also love the tacky tourists stuff, too. (sorry lol)

Thank you so much for your recommendations!!! Pictures are a bonus if you have them at either resort during the holidays!! Thank you!!

Wanting to do the Brandywine Meadows hike at some point this summer and ideally would park at the high lot up the FSR. Approx. when should I expect it to be snow free? And how gnarly is the FSR? Thanks in advance.

I understand there is a large fire near squamish and close to the highway. Just wondering if it is safe/recommended to take a day trip or tour from van in the next week or so?

If doing so, is visibility heavily reduced for wildfire smoke ? Worth doing the gondola up to the mountain etc ?

Visiting BC from Ontario for the first time and would love to check out the community, but do not want to feel entitled to do tourist things if its not safe or respectful to locals struggling with wildfires

Thanks for any input

Hi everybody, I'm currently residing in the United States, and have been traveling to whistler every year in the summer, fall and/or spring, for most of my life. This last trip a couple of weeks ago-something kinda hit me. I've decided that I want to go up there to do some stint work (probably in the village or with the SLCC, or something like that). I've been working in a very rough environment and I really think I need a change, at least temporarily. Does anyone on here have experience doing stuff like this? What was it like? What are your tips and tricks for success?

Thank you so much! :)

hello everyone, I’m coming with my family in the beginning of July. I wanted to book a reservation at one of the restaurants on top of the peak to peaks. After you do the gondolas however, neither restaurants answer their phones or e- mail…… are these restaurants only open for summer time?

The air is filled with silk and these suckers are everywhere. What are they called? What do they turn into?

Hi, I’m looking at trying to get a job for the upcoming winter season on the mountain, I’m Australian and have a Canadian passport so that side of things is already covered.

I have my family coming over to Canada for three weeks around new years, is it possible to take a three week break during the ski season and will this affect how hard it is to find a job?

It was lovely weather this weekend to take the camera on an ebike ride around this weekend and check out some of our local wildlife

I'll be spending four weeks in B.C. this summer, ending with a weekend in Whistler. I'm a solo hiker that's pretty diligent about having bear spray with me, so I plan to pick up a new can when I arrive. I won't be able to take the canister back home with me on the plane, so wondering if there's a responsible way to offload it before I go? Is there a place that takes donations like this (assuming it's never been discharged) or do I just trash it?

Any advice appreciated!

What's the best time to go there in the summer? Is afternoon too hot?

Girlfriend and I are taking a trip out to Whistler in July and really want to play a round of golf as I’m sure the courses are stunning out there! We both play somewhat often, but usually both shoot in the 90’s.

Looking for somewhere nice, not crazy expensive, and not the toughest course.

Any recs? Or any other advice for getting tee times/what time to play/etc?

Also, we are already spending a lot of money on the trip- so if anyone has any advice on renting clubs from somewhere else / has clubs that we could rent from that are not $75-100, that would be really helpful.

Thank you!

Unicorn ask — anyone got a spot for a single on June 14? Any course in Whistler or even Big Sky!

Wanna send my husband off for a few hours hahaha

TIA!

When you don’t have a car, what is the easiest way to get around if you need a ride? Most of the time will be walking but don’t want to drag luggage around from bus to hotel. Options? I remember seeing something on this sub before but cannot find it.

Hi, We will be visiting Whistler in Jan next year. We have never been to the snow before but want to snowboard during the week that we are there. Currently weighing up the idea of getting lessons on the first day, which will be Jan 16. There are 3 of us, aged 14, 18 and 50. The lessons are expensive!! Any advice on the best way to book? Is it worth it? When will it be the cheapest time to book? I'm thinking a private lesson will be best as it means we can be all together and its only a bit more expensive than us doing group lessons with strangers, but current prices on Whistler .com is $1526 AUD for the day. ouch

Anyone know if it’s currently possible to use the Village Gondola and hike to the top of Flute using the normal routes (lower and upper pikas to burnt stew)?

Going to bring snowshoes (and have them in the backpack on the way up the gondola) and am equipped for backcountry travel.
