This place is the gem of Whistler. Located at the entrance of Function Junction, The Re-Use-It Centre is the only true thrift store in Whistler. Regardless what you need, cutlery or that perfect outfit for 80s night, you'll find it here. At the…More »

Screw the IGA, Nester's is where its at. This is the local market and has much better prices. I was able to host an American Thanksgiving while I was living in Whistler for $12 a person. It would have cost a lot more if I went to the alternative…More »

After my first snowboard was stolen, I decided to check out the Prior warehouse. I like my friends' Prior boards and I liked the idea of getting a genuine Whistler product.
The Warehouse is at the end of Function. It's easy enough to find and has…More »

Not the cheapest place to buy books in the world, but it is the only bookstore in Whistler Village so you're kind of stuck. Despite its corner on the market, I still enjoyed this tiny shop. Quirky books that deserve a thorough looking through. I…More »

Lush is great. The first Lush I ever went to was in Whistler eight years ago. I fell in love with the food looking beauty products and I sustained that love with diligent use. Hand cream, face wash, or fizzy bath balls, you can't go wrong. Walking…More »

This is what a snowboard shop should be. You know walking in that everyone is somewhat to extremely stoned and yet still know their stuff. Great, and yet small, women's clothing selection. I got one of my favorite purses from here for a steal.

I begrudgingly went to IGA much more often than I would have liked. The layout doesn't make any sense whatsoever, the produce is hit-or-miss, the people working there could care less about you and the prices were really high for the things you…More »

No matter the time of year, there always seems to be a long line at the post office and hardly ever three people working the counter. There was one nice woman who worked there in 06 -- she could still be working there -- but the other people there…More »

This was the first liquor store I legally bought hard alcohol in. 'Why yes you can check my primary and secondary ID because I'm 19 and I can drink.'

It's smaller than the other liquor stores in Whistler, but quieter as well. If you're just looking…More »

When you're stuck in the upper village and all you want is a toothbrush, a video, a Aero Bar, and a pair of scissors you have no choice but to waltz in to this little shop across from Club Intrawest. It literally has everything. You'll pay for your…More »

Recently updated lists from Skylar L.

Whistler Eats (42)

So much good food in this small mountain town. Some not-too-good eats, too.

Lunchtime in WLA (3)

I'm lazy. I hardly ever bring lunch. I also see lunch as the time to escape. So boom: lunchtime excursions.

My Sweet, Sweet Santa Cruz (9)

My favorite college haunts.

Places I Used to Work (2)

So this goes into questionable Yelp territory, but I think I've still managed to stay impartial.

Let Me Entertain You: LA Edition (31)

Okay, I won't entertain you, but you will be entertained.

Los Angatbles (12)

Didn't your mommy ever tell you to eat your veggies? My mommy did. I took her at her word. Maybe a little too much.

These are the vegetarian spots that have taken my heart.

Oh the Places We'll Go (13)

The best road trip of my life was through Brtish Columbia, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Alberta and back to BC to catch a cruise to Alaska. Here are a couple stops along the road.

Heating Up Whistler (20)

The clubs and bars of Whistler

Do(go)nuts (7)

I don't trust people who don't like donuts.

Drinking Time (8)

Portland is famous for it's booze. The only fair thing is for me to try to see if it lives up to the hype. Right?
