whistler has got to be the worst place to open any business. its incredible how many have gone broke in the past 5 years ive been here. whats even more incredible are the morons who reopen another one in the same spot the one that just went broke in thinking they'll make it work.

Don't get an x-ray man, they're waay too expensive over there! It might be cheaper to buy your own x-ray machine... Just gaffa tape it all together and keep riding, I wish I had
Yep, with the shit coffee and all it's really not worth the trip...

If you charged half what the local hospital does you'd make a killing!

Inconceivable!
On the topic of their wonderful beers I found them very very tasty but cant drink them because I cant sleep after drinking them. Very odd, I can drink Captn morgans and coke all night and sleep like a sack of shit but kokanee and BAM! I am like a fucking squirrel which is bad when you are trying to sleep

What sort of local micro-brewery beers are there? I'm hoping for a bit of variety, not just the Canadian version of Carlton Draught.

I'm pumped Scotty, massive surprise! Can't wait, but you'll need to go easy on me as I will look like one of those tourists on hire bikes going 10km/hr down A-line and getting 3 inches of fully sick air!
PBR will not touch my lips, i'm pretty sure it's not even real beer
rode top of the world today. it was alright, but what made it absolutely amazing was that it drops you into ride dont slide which is fucking epic. riding through mcconkeys trees and shit, it took us over an hour to get down and we were fucked by the end of it. get amungo boys, definitely worth the $16.

When we were there 3 years ago we didn't do top of the world, but, we did the push up and did, ride don't slide. How awesome is it???!!?!?!?!?
slightly off topic hi jack
not sure if it has been covered in this thread but i'm heading over to whistler next july..and was looking at getting a new ride..my question is should i buy a rig before i head over or get one there..is it much cheaper to buy a bike in canada?..obviously i would save on freight one way but i would also be on a bike i'm not used to, on trails i've never ridden..so yeah anyone who's been over there and can offer some wisdom it would be appreciated.

i brought my new bike over with me, used it at thredbo and some local trails so i got used to it before i got here. it was a bit of a pain in the ass bringing it over but im glad i did.
issues with buying a bike here. i wouldnt buy a 2nd hand whistler bike mainly because they get so trashed riding the park. a day in whistler park puts way more wear and tear on parts than anywhere else imo. brakes will be wrong way around too and from what ive seen they're not really much cheaper but i guess that depends what your looking at buying. eg my 2012 operator i bought for $3100 aud and i saw one selling for $3200cad
my mate broke his collar bone again on a line today. damn shame.
