Let's Get You Sorted

Get set up with everything you need to enjoy a day of cross-country skiing or snowshoeing at Whistler Olympic Park. Daily & full-season options are available.

 

Daily Rentals - Winter 2023/24

Our cross-country ski package includes Rossignol skis, poles, and boots. You can choose between classic skiing, where you ski in set tracks (recommended for first-timers), or skate skiing, where you ski "free" or not in the tracks. You can also switch equipment during the day (subject to availability). Simply speak to one of our friendly rental staff for assistance.

To explore our picturesque snowshoe trails, simply wear waterproof shoes and rent a pair of our Tubbs snowshoes. We also have overboots for added waterproofing and adjustable poles for extra support on steeper trails if you need them.

We highly recommend booking your rentals online to save time and to be rewarded with a 10% discount compared to walk-in pricing. Rentals are also discounted to only $15 for ages 13+ and $10 for ages 5-12 when booked with a lesson. Rental equipment booked after

Although all equipment must remain at Whistler Olympic Park, full-season renters can exclusively reserve their equipment via our online store.

Waxing & Basic Repairs

Did you know you can have your skis waxed or repaired at our rental shop? Regularly waxing your skis throughout the season is essential for maintaining their bases and improving your trail glide! Simply visit the shop with your skis and speak to one of our rental staff for advice.

We also offer a range of waxing products in our retail shop in the Day Lodge, including glide-on products that are perfect for in-between hot waxes. If you're unsure what you need, ask one of our friendly team members for assistance.

Full Season Rental FAQs

How do full-season rentals work?

A full-season rental is an excellent option for those requiring rentals throughout the winter. Guests can switch between classic, skate or snowshoes at any time for no additional cost. Once a pass is purchased, guests can reserve their equipment ahead of time online (not available on the same day) and pick up their rentals from outside the Rental Shop in the designated area. All rental equipment must be returned each day (4:00 pm for weekdays/weekends, 8:30 pm for applicable Wednesday Nights). Fees may apply for late returns.

Can I take my full-season rental equipment home during the season?

No. All equipment must remain on-site and be returned to the Rental Shop each day (4:00 pm for weekdays/weekends, 8:30 pm for applicable Wednesday Nights). Fees may apply for late returns.

How do I reserve my full-season rental equipment ahead of time?

For your first visit of the season, you will be required to visit the Rental Shop to have your sizing confirmed. After this, reservations can be made easily online throughout the season. Please note that reservations close at midnight for the following day.

  4. You will be prompted to log in to your online account.
  5. Under "Pass information", click on the drop-down and select the renter's name. Please make sure that the sizing information is up-to-date. If you are reserving rentals for dependents with Full Season Rentals, you can have access to their guest profiles by having them linked to your account (contact Guest Services to request this).
  6. Follow the steps to check out. Once confirmed, our staff will collect your equipment for the day and place it outside the rental shop in our Full-Season Rental area (located next to returns) ready for collection at your convenience. If you need to swap equipment on the day, please speak to one of our rental shop staff.

If you experience any issues completing this reservation process, don't hesitate to get in touch with our friendly Guest Services team for assistance by calling 604-964-0059 during operating hours.
