Arrival Information

We are privileged to share our venues with all kinds of wildlife, including bears. Please help us to keep them wild and safe. Never feed them or try to pet or pose for a photo with a wild animal. Dispose of all garbage in the bear-proof bins. Do not disturb wildlife and give them space. If you encounter a bear, stay away. Feeding any wildlife is illegal, and fed animals often pay with their lives as they can lose their fear of humans and become unpredictable. If you want to learn more about bears, the Get Bear Smart Society is a great source. Notify our front desk (phone 604-964-0052) if you have concerns about wildlife/bears on the venue.
 

Whistler's climate is fairly moderate because of our proximity to the ocean, which means it does not get too cold in the winter or too hot in the summer (at times we see a short period of -20 C in the village between December and February and some summer days can go up to 30+ C). We are in the mountains, so the weather can change quickly and we get good amounts of precipitation year-round. On top of the mountain, temperatures are usually 7-10 C cooler than in the valley. More weather stats are available here:

Whistler Weather

Not sure what to pack for clothing? Layers and protective/waterproof shells are locals' favourites pretty much any time of year, plus a toque and gloves for fall, winter and spring (sometimes for summer, too, in case of a Whistler "Junuary" event...). Shoes should have good tread and be waterproof, especially when heading out on the trails.
