Its a lot to rent gear in whistler. Early season lift tickets are still 60 bucks. Why you going to whistler?

Tickets for shuttle bus from Vancouver to Whistler were only $16(normally $55). I bought 6 tickets and reserved 6 seats for me and two friends to go there and back. I guess we're not skiing since it's so expensive and takes up time. We'll be arriving around 3:30pm on a Saturday and leaving 4pm the next day. I'm trying to talk my friends into snowmobiling.

Me and 2 friends will be taking a shuttle bus to Whistler in less than 2 weeks. One of my other friends want to come so he's gonna drive and meet us there. Once we get there it would be around 3pm. Planning to book tickets for snowmobling at 5pm. Then we snowboard Sunday morning.

the bunny hill on whistler is way superior to the bunny hill on cypress if for no other reason is that there is no chair lift at whistler. beginners should NOT have to learn how to get off a chair lift.
