The only real option I'm seeing is a bus but damn that's slow. Car rental is thrice the price. What's a bum to do?
Whistler Trip Seattle-to-Van transport
- Thread starter w00dy
- Start date
Rent the car and justify the price by riding some places along the way.
Our rental vans or rental trucks (F-150 Crew Cab) ran us about $880-900 for 12 days. You get hosed with airport taxes, stadium taxes and surcharges etc.. Key thing, it do not tell them you are taking the vehicle accross the border or they will not rent it to you. Its in the fine print, that the vehicles are not to be taken out of the US territory crossing the border. Just act like ya didnt know. 
We have done the rental thing for about 11 of the 13 years that i have been going to ride WHizzler. We flew one year into Vancouver and had some moy friends in North Van pick us up, but it was a pain with our bikes, gear etc.. Customs took the hydro fluid or Avid brake kit from my buddies bike case when they were inspecting the stuff. I got lucky they didnt take my mineral oil brake fluid. LOL Anyway, hope that info helps..
Have fun at Whizzler!

There is the train and the ferry too, but all are expensive and you still have to make it from Vancouver to Whistler...
Ride your bike.
The train from Bellingham to Vancooter is $17 one way, not sure how much it is from Seattle or what the luggage situation is. That would be worth looking into. I think it goes all the way to Whistler and stops in Creekside and on the north side of the Village too.
