Ground Transfers:
Getting to Whistler has never been easier!  If youhttp://www.whistlerglaciergroup.com/whistler-blackcomb-bc/olympicpark.html have been coming to Whistler for the past several years you will know that the Sea to Sky Highway has been undergoing a $600 Million upgrade and we are pleased to say - the improvements have now been completed!  Yippee!  Driving time from Vancouver to Whistler is just 90 minutes.

To help you navigate the highway this coming season Whistler Glacier Group is our official Ground Transportation provider and they will be able to assist you with all your transfer needs from Vancouver or from the Airport and beyond.  We do recommend taking either a shuttle or private transfer rather than bringing your personal vehicle to the resort.  Most volume pressures should have subsided by March 1st and traveling restrictions lifted, however by using the Whistler Glacier Group you can sit back and relax and enjoy the breath-taking scenery so you arrive fresh and ready for all your exciting adventures.  Plus it is a great way to meet some of your fellow Pride adventurers as well!
