Whistler Village: The Village is the central neighborhood of the town of Whistler, located at the base of both Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains. It is divided into several areas - the Village, Village North and Upper Village. All the areas are connected by the paved, pedestrian-only Village Stroll.

Bikes are able to upload on the Creekside Gondola. Intermediate and Advanced riders can upload to Raven’s Nest and enter the Garbanzo Zone trails from there. Riders will be able to download on the Creekside Gondola or ride out to Creekside on the new Expert level route called Dusty’s Downhill, which descends Franz’s ski trail and the existing fire road network on the south side of Whistler Mountain.

A second trail - existing single track valley classic “BC’s Trail” (Black Diamond) will also be accessible via the fire road. Trails inside the boundary will be inspected and swept by Bike Patrol daily. Access will be limited to bike park riders only.

The two RV Gypsies had crepes at Cafe Boulangerie while in Whistler Village. They did not realize that the crepes were frozen and just heated when ordered. The inside of the Cafe was small and smelly, so they sat at a small, wobbly table outside. Karen told everyone passing by not to eat there.

Then they stopped at Cow's for an ice cream. The place was quite crowded with people, but the line moved fast and the ice cream was good.
