I've been shopping at Lululemon for years--basically since they first began opening retail…read morestores--and I have to say, the Whistler Village location consistently delivers the best service. The team here really sets the gold standard and should train the Lululemon stores in the United States! Every employee strikes the perfect balance between being friendly, helpful, and professional without ever crossing into being pushy or overbearing. While most Lululemon locations have friendly staff, sometimes it can feel overwhelming to be constantly approached while shopping. At this store, the employees do a fantastic job of explaining products, highlighting features, and checking in periodically, all while giving you the perfect amount of space to browse on your own. Shopping here is always a wonderful experience, and I can't recommend this location enough!

Lululemon athletica is located in whistler village right outside of the Hilton hotel. Their store…read morefront is very large and has two entrances. They have a large men's and women's section (half and half) with the cashier in the middle of the store. I came here on Boxing Day. They had racks and racks of men's and women's clothing. They even had some accessory items on sale as well. For women they had lots of leggings, a couple skirts and shorts, tank top shirts, and jackets. It was a combination of items, but I ended up getting mostly leggings. The prices ranged from $35 and up. The leggings were around $65 each. Pretty much around 50% off or so for most items. I also got a gym bag that was super cute and a jacket. I really liked that they had whistler apparel and hats. The prices were rather high. $58 for women's shirts and $84 for men's shirts with the whistler design. Wish that the price was cheaper because I would've loved to have purchased that since it is great quality. The staff were very nice even though the store was pretty crazy and the line to pay went by quickly.

This kills me to write this, it really does, but I have to be honest, right? I hate the "concept"…read moreof this store. I see it and it says "Disney World " to me. It just seems over the top. It is a fairly new shop that sells... sports and leisure accessories? I guess that is how I would put it. The website says it sells "clothing and accessories for all aspects of Whistler life." Hmmm...they aren't going to be able to fit much clothing in a store that size. However, I had a fair amount of money left over on my discount gift card this year. (Every year WB offers pass holders an opportunity to purchase a $500 GC at a 20 percent discount.) I wanted to spend it, and the Go Pro I wanted was transferred to this store from the Can-Ski. Using this left over gift card money was going to make this item significantly less expensive. So, I was going to The Provisioner, if that is where they were selling it. I really can't say I looked around much, but they did have some interesting bags there. I didn't care for the hats, which looked very "Robert Redford" to me, but then again, what do I know about men's hats? I will say that I have always admired the layout of the store. With large windows and a lot the merchandise on shelves facing out, it is a good design for a small space. I got assistance from the same man who sold me a jacket at Showcase earlier in the season. I believe his name tag said Jyr. I don't think he usually works at this store, because he had to check on whether they accepted gift cards, but he is really a good salesperson. He Is pleasant and friendly. (Really, one of the top people at Showcase, IMO). He told me about the features of the two models I was looking at buying, and I took his suggestion on which one to purchase. I really wanted the camera more to take still photos because my hands are bad in the cold (they get numb). I am very reluctant to take out my phone unless it it fairly warm. Maybe I will decide to do more with it, but at least I can get some pictures of the powder next season. :) In any case, I have to admit it was a good retail experience. So, even if I don't love the idea of the store, I suppose I have to be "a fan".

Bottom line, the service, selection and value are unbeatable, especially in a resort town. I have been looking for a high quality specific sweater in my size for quite some time online and during a visit to Montreal. I found it here! It is perfect. My wife got some glerpus shoes which she loves as well as a couple of unique pieces she found here. We were helped by Elsa and she is such an amazing person. We were fortunate enough to meet the owners who were just so friendly. This is the kind of business I love to support. It is a tiny store but trust me when I say they have everything you need and more.

When I checked my receipt, I saw I was charged this year's seasons price. When I asked if they could honor the price listed on the box and on their sticker, but they said no and that there's nothing they can do about it.... I thought this a strange business practice to not honor their listed price, and also felt it strange the person who processed the sale did not give me a headsup the price would be higher before charging me to make sure I was ok with it, especially since I had talked with them specifically about the price when I was trying the product on. Though the difference in price was only $10, I just felt put off with the underlying principle, rationale and practice of what happened.

Cool As A Moose was recommended by our server at the Dubh Linn Pub :) The selection was fairly comprehensive, and included such items as wooden postcards and bookmarks, as well as sweaters, blankets, pins, bumper stickers, socks- you name it! For a souvenir shop as well, they also include not only a "clearance" section at great prices but I was able to snag two crewnecks for 30$ each..! Super pleased :) The interior was a bit cramped in some places and some sizes were not available in things I would have liked but I did find some things, and the staff was pleasant enough. Better than most places and a definite recommendation from me :)

I typically love this shop and is a must-stop place when we come to Whistler so I was disappointed…read moreto find they were doing a remodel so they only had about 1/3 of their shop and that was pretty much only sweatshirts and sweatpants. They typically have a lot of outdoor stuff like gloves, hats and scarves, etc. There were 3 women working there and they were all standing around the register chatting with each other. There were about 3-5 customers that came and went while I was there, and they didnt move or offer to help anyone. So disappointing overall.

I love Roots!!!…read more Roots is a super cute and trendy store. They have men's, women's, and children's apparel. They are definitely known for their hoodies because they have one for just about everyone. When I went in they had an up to 50% off sale and I was able to purchase a couple hoodies for really cheap. I really like their children's apparel. They have some really cute shirts that have Canada on it. Many of their items has the Canadian maple leaf or Canada written somewhere on it. It makes for a great gift to give to someone that doesn't live in Canada or even for yourself. Roots has a signature character or animal that they have on all of their apparel...the beaver. It is really cute and is iconic for roots. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of the clothing that you get. It is very soft and thick. This is definitely one of my favorite stores in Canada and I will be back again when I visit.
