I had heard this referred to as bike lockers.

Nop, Those are not lockers. They just store them in the rental shop. (I used to worked there)

Ah ok. Do you know if I should/could call ahead if I'm going to try and rent a spot out through that for a month?

To be honest, with the time I have spent in Whistler and how many friends bikes have been attempted to be stolen or stolen; I only feel comfortable with my bike right beside me while I sleep...

True that, I even had one guy on the trail ask me if I could let him borrow my bike for a day. Did he really think someone would say yeah sure brah here's my $8000 bike now go have some fun.

Season pass pricing is out. Cool

$619 for the early bird pricing. I don't remember exactly but I think last year was $500 and around $450 the year before? Pretty big jump this season. Still a great deal if your riding everyday! but f*ck summer used to be the cheap season here....not anymore

$599 last year, and now you get 2 bring a friend days vs the one, so not a big jump in price.

It came to about $450 5 years ago, but like their ski passes the prices keep going up.....

I think a 10 time pass and you can add extra days onto it.

Plus 10 days of riding out of 14 is pretty good. You Do want to get some days off where you go float, chill out at the lake, go play frisbee-golf, or whiffle golfing..

Do you gorilla tape your hands to the bars or something? 10 days straight in the bike park would be brutal.

Nope, to be honest It was tough for the first two weeks but I got used to it.

I don't ride very much tech trails. So it's not as hard on you as you'd think
