Pre-arrival checklist

A sense of adventure and your camera or phone for photos are a good start! There are restaurants, washrooms and shops on the mountains. If you plan to hike the alpine trails other gear is recommended such as hiking boots, food and water as well as a trail map.

Clothing

It depends on the season! Weather conditions and temperatures will change as you go from Whistler Village in the valley to the PEAK 2 PEAK Gondola in the alpine. It is often 5 – 10 degrees (Celsius) cooler on the mountain, and layers are recommended so you can adjust your temperature accordingly – check out the alpine weather conditions on the day for a better idea of what to expect.

SUMMER: The sun can be strong up high so sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses are recommended – just be careful they don’t fall off when you are peering down from the chairlift! A light jacket can help cut wind chill and comfortable, sturdy, closed shoes can stop your toes getting cool as you ride the chairlifts – they are also great for walking around on the mountaintop.

WINTER: In winter time you will need to walk through the snow to get to the terminal so dress warmly in snow gear and wear waterproof boots with good, grippy soles for comfort.
