Stop, wait a second. I totally had no idea about that. Tell me more plz about how to stretch these 10 days. Buy this card online or in ticket office only? Man, that thing is about to save me lots of money, because I was sure I will have to buy season pass again. Really had no idea about that.

Anyone know anything about the annual bike sale? Not the one worca puts on in the village, this one happens at the base of one of the upper chair lifts/parking lot. Can't seem to find any details.

Looks like it’s posted on website already but not on sale yet...pretty sure these are 2019.

$300 for a 5 day and $480 for 10 day. You will have the whole season to use it.

On another note....looks like season pass prices are released! $710! Anyone remember what they were last year??

Mother of god. How many days would it be worth it to get a full season pass? I know after you use up the 5 or 10 day, day passes are discounted but I can't remember how much.

Guessing probably 12 days, that seems to be the trend the past few years, I see day pass prices aren’t posted yet.

Yep) last year I've spent 3 weeks in Whistler and it was totally rad. 18 days are planned for this year and a month in 2020. And then... My visa expires Big Grin

Pretty expensive, but that worth every cent.
Anyway I hope I will move to west Canada in next 5-7 years. Wanna change country which in I live and work)

I did the math a couple summers ago and it was 15-16 days. With the 10 day pass you've traditionally received a bonus free early season day so 11 free days and then I think roughly a 20% discount on pre purchased day passes that you can add to your pass a week in advance.

They are not advertising a bonus early season day or the ability to add extra days, if that's the case season pass makes sense at 13 days.

just a few bugs. we had that last year, bought 5 day pass, but ended up going 9 times (or even 10), due to the awesomeness of the park. I think that you save 6$, so thats basically nothing.
