We didn't pick it up yet, so Ryan told us that we should look into possibly cancelling our rentals and getting a gift card to use at showcase. We thought that this wasn't possible, but after making a few phone calls and visiting Carleton lodge, we were able to get a refund on our rentals. That meant that my husband was able to purchase the snowboard that he wanted. Ryan was very knowledgeable on the different boards and explained why. He was able to explain the conditions that certain boards were good for. I also decided to purchase a pair of boots for myself as well instead of renting them. I tried on a couple different shoes. One of them was the vans and it was a little tighter than most shoes. I decided to get the Cadence boot in black. It was the most comfortable. I was also able to get a pair of gloves (burton) and pants (burton). Overall, if you are looking for snowboard gear this is the go to place. Worth the fact that the staff is very helpful and friendly. That is something that is sometimes difficult to find. Decent prices considering you are in whistler village. Definitely stop by here for any gear that you need for snowboarding!

Bottom line, the service, selection and value are unbeatable, especially in a resort town. I have been looking for a high quality specific sweater in my size for quite some time online and during a visit to Montreal. I found it here! It is perfect. My wife got some glerpus shoes which she loves as well as a couple of unique pieces she found here. We were helped by Elsa and she is such an amazing person. We were fortunate enough to meet the owners who were just so friendly. This is the kind of business I love to support. It is a tiny store but trust me when I say they have everything you need and more.

I used to think that's just how ski boots are - they hurt like hell. How wrong I was! The boots I got from CanSki are like skiing on clouds. They molded them a bit to my feet and they have been like a dream to ski in. Even better, i came in this year (a year after I bought them) and asked for a slight adjustment on one toe and they did it for free. The clothing is all expensive, but it's market rate for great quality gear. If you're in Whistler and need new equipment, this is the place to go.

I've been shopping at Lululemon for years--basically since they first began opening retail…read morestores--and I have to say, the Whistler Village location consistently delivers the best service. The team here really sets the gold standard and should train the Lululemon stores in the United States! Every employee strikes the perfect balance between being friendly, helpful, and professional without ever crossing into being pushy or overbearing. While most Lululemon locations have friendly staff, sometimes it can feel overwhelming to be constantly approached while shopping. At this store, the employees do a fantastic job of explaining products, highlighting features, and checking in periodically, all while giving you the perfect amount of space to browse on your own. Shopping here is always a wonderful experience, and I can't recommend this location enough!

Lululemon athletica is located in whistler village right outside of the Hilton hotel. Their store…read morefront is very large and has two entrances. They have a large men's and women's section (half and half) with the cashier in the middle of the store. I came here on Boxing Day. They had racks and racks of men's and women's clothing. They even had some accessory items on sale as well. For women they had lots of leggings, a couple skirts and shorts, tank top shirts, and jackets. It was a combination of items, but I ended up getting mostly leggings. The prices ranged from $35 and up. The leggings were around $65 each. Pretty much around 50% off or so for most items. I also got a gym bag that was super cute and a jacket. I really liked that they had whistler apparel and hats. The prices were rather high. $58 for women's shirts and $84 for men's shirts with the whistler design. Wish that the price was cheaper because I would've loved to have purchased that since it is great quality. The staff were very nice even though the store was pretty crazy and the line to pay went by quickly.

We did minimum purchase since he was not helpful and looked for another place. We found Roots and experience was normal.

This kills me to write this, it really does, but I have to be honest, right? I hate the "concept"…read moreof this store. I see it and it says "Disney World " to me. It just seems over the top. It is a fairly new shop that sells... sports and leisure accessories? I guess that is how I would put it. The website says it sells "clothing and accessories for all aspects of Whistler life." Hmmm...they aren't going to be able to fit much clothing in a store that size. However, I had a fair amount of money left over on my discount gift card this year. (Every year WB offers pass holders an opportunity to purchase a $500 GC at a 20 percent discount.) I wanted to spend it, and the Go Pro I wanted was transferred to this store from the Can-Ski. Using this left over gift card money was going to make this item significantly less expensive. So, I was going to The Provisioner, if that is where they were selling it. I really can't say I looked around much, but they did have some interesting bags there. I didn't care for the hats, which looked very "Robert Redford" to me, but then again, what do I know about men's hats? I will say that I have always admired the layout of the store. With large windows and a lot the merchandise on shelves facing out, it is a good design for a small space. I got assistance from the same man who sold me a jacket at Showcase earlier in the season. I believe his name tag said Jyr. I don't think he usually works at this store, because he had to check on whether they accepted gift cards, but he is really a good salesperson. He Is pleasant and friendly. (Really, one of the top people at Showcase, IMO). He told me about the features of the two models I was looking at buying, and I took his suggestion on which one to purchase. I really wanted the camera more to take still photos because my hands are bad in the cold (they get numb). I am very reluctant to take out my phone unless it it fairly warm. Maybe I will decide to do more with it, but at least I can get some pictures of the powder next season. :) In any case, I have to admit it was a good retail experience. So, even if I don't love the idea of the store, I suppose I have to be "a fan".

I LOVE that there is an Aritzia in Whistler Village. I mean, the village shopping experience really…read morewould be incomplete without an Aritzia so I guess it's expected for there to be one :P I give this location 4 stars mostly because of the size of the store... This is probably the SMALLEST Aritzia store in the company... I really do not think I've been to a smaller Aritzia... and trust me, I've been to a lot of Aritzia stores :) So obviously due to their lack of space, their selection is not THAT big. Of course they carry the core items such as blazers, winter coats, jeggings, etc but if you're coming here to really indulge and go on a crazy Aritzia spree, it's probably not the best place. But because it is a smaller store, it also offers the benefits of finding certain sizes not available in other locations or specific items that were sold out at other stores still available here. They definitely cater to the Whistler population and are stocked on winter jackets, Sorel and Ugg boots. Whether you are a tourist, traveler visiting Whistler Village or native Canadian, Aritzia is a MUST for any women who love shopping, fashionable yet casual and comfortable clothing. Although expensive, their quality is generally decent and nothing beats something that LOOKS good, FEELS good and is stylish :)
