Welcome, Concierge & Front Line Staff

COVID-19 Is Not on Vacation

We encourage all front line staff to familiarize yourselves with new COVID-19 guidelines and practices so that you can actively share information with guests on how to safely experience Whistler. This includes encouraging physical distancing in public places such as the Village Stroll and in public parks (keeping 2m from other parties), avoiding gatherings, and adhering to safety protocols put in place by Vancouver Coastal Health within local businesses.

This winter season, Whistler Blackcomb has implemented a new mandatory reservation system to help manage capacity on mountain as part of their COVID-19 safety protocols. While Whistler Blackcomb anticipates they will be able to accommodate everyone for the vast majority of days, there is the possibility that during peak and high demand days, the resort may reach capacity and reservations will not be available.

In that event, Tourism Whistler has prepared a flatsheet to help front line staff engage with these guests and to assist them find alternative winter activities and experiences to enjoy during their time in Whistler. Review the Non-Ski Winter Activities Flatsheet here.

Tourism Whistler produces the School Holiday calendar based on the information provided by regional Ministries of Education and other government bodies. This schedule is intended to provide dates of when the majority of students are expected to break and will vary between individual school districts, school boards, elementary schools, high schools and post-secondary institutions.

While many restaurants, pubs and cafes are now open, capacity will be limited or fully booked on weekends and holidays. We recommend that guests research dining options in advance of arrival, consider dining during non-peak times, make a few dinner reservations or opt for grab-and-go options.
