PINT of Stella. mate!
Many, many Scotches
Well, I'm finally getting to pop my Whistler cherry! I'll be packing up my trusty Rallon and heading there at the end of May.
I've just a few questions regarding transport and accommodation.
1. Has anyone used any of the shuttle bus services from Vancouver? Are they good value for money? Is it easy to take a bike on them?
2. Accommodation: I've got a few trips on the go this year so I'm trying to go as budget as possible and have been looking at getting a single room at a hostel somewhere. The first place I looked at was Alpine Lodge Hostel which is down near the shore of Green Lake. It looks like it's pretty far from all the action though. Is there much in the way of nightlife around that area? Are there cheap digs closer to the centre of town?
3. I'll be in Whistler for around 7 days. Going by the bike park website, they've got 5 day and 10 day passes available along with a host of others. Does the 5 day pass run consecutively or can you break it up with a day-off here or there?
4. Are there local trails accessible without the lift pass?
5. What's the Top Of The World pass and is it worth getting?
6. Where's the best pub?
