i am taking a vacation to whistler/blackcomb the first week on march. looking for suggestions on rentals etc. need to know if i should bring my own gear and such.

I would recommend bringing your own gear. There are a few sled rental companies but most of them are guided tours which actually SUCK.

DeDi684 Are you going out there from your listed location of Troy NY?? If so I may be interrested in teaming up with you and sharing the cost if you plan on doing some riding. I have an 04 Viper S and 2005 Triton enclosed trailer. Let me know I am in Clifton Park NY

deffinitly contact Ray Mason at Totally Awesome Adventues. They have a website as well.

All the companies in whistler only offer guided tours for the most part, if you want to rent a real sled and do some non guided riding at a good price contact Corey Andrews at Coast Mountain Snowmobile rental PH 1-604-815-1974. All 800 Rev Summits, and they will deliver the sleds with gas and oil to whatever riding area you like on the Sea to Sky for $350 a day.

Leaving tomorrow for Whistler. We have booked with Ray from Totally awesome adventures. They ride revs and cater to the group you bring. We have emailed back and forth for a few weeks and it sounds like he supplies all the equipment. A full day of guided riding is 369.00 and a five hour tour is 289.00. If the weather is good they ride in the Pemberton icecap. Check out the website and get back to me next Tues for a report on the tour. Jamie.
