BlueB Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Yes. Priors workshop at Function Junction, few kms south of Creekside. I don't think thay'll have any boots, though, but you'll get to demo the latest and greates. Fanatico at the main village used to carry alpine rentals. However, last time I was there they told me they've terminated it. Give them both a call... If none of the 2 worked, I could lend you some basic setup to ride, but you'll have to pick it up in Vancouver's eastern 'burbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotts.Scheinman Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 im going with my friend and his dad so somewhere close would be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_roboteye Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Prior's shop is a $15 cab ride (each way) from Whistler Village. I'm pretty sure Boris is right and Fanatykco doesn't carry alpine stuff anymore. The easiest thing to do would be to e-mail Prior. I know they have demos, but I'm not entirely sure if they "rent". later, Dave R. BTW. When are you coming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Yes. Priors workshop at Function Junction, few kms south of Creekside. I don't think thay'll have any boots, though, but you'll get to demo the latest and greates. +1, I demoed from Prior about 5 years ago and it was great. $25 for a day (board only)...since then I've thought if I was going back for a week or so, it would be awesome if they would take $100 or $150 for 5 days of demos, with the option to switch the board every day. Might be a hard sell though, as I'm sure Dave is right that they're much more interesting in selling than renting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotts.Scheinman Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 is there any place in whistler village that rents stuff otherwise im stuck on softies:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueB Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Don't quite understand... Prior is not that far out. Anyhow... Take your h/boots and bindings with you, rent a good big freeride or BX board at the village and you are good to go. Depending on conditions it could turn as better setup then carving board.
