Two that come immediately to mindL: MEC, Cypress Mountain Sports at Park Royal

one more thing - you may want to try renting from Whistler online. I've been doing that for years, and they keep my file online with boot size, pole height, ski preferences.

the beauty of online is this: you prepay, and there's a separate line for online renters when you find your way at Whistler. Few people know about this service, so it's usually deserted. ID and pickup are lightning fast!

And, in years to come, they will have your prefs on file, so next time will be even faster.

have fun skiing !!

Is it ski gear you want or board gear? Cause if you are looking for board gear try the "Boardroom" on 4th ave near Burrard across from Westbeach. As for ski AT and tele you can get that from MEC, as for regular ski gear no idea! Probably doesn't help much but that's all I know!

Destination on Marine Drive in NV rents as well, I believe.

I think its better to head up there with gear in hand rather than muck about in the lodge in the morning while everyone else is heading up the hill.

Are you staying overnight? If so, at Whistler you can pick up your rental gear the day before. Anytime after 4pm I believe.
