We are now looking forward to the next season. Thanks for a great summer of biking, and we plan for the arrival of snow for a winter of XC skiing and snowshoeing in 2021-2022. Cross Country Connection is the home of cross country skiing and snowshoeing in Whistler. We are located on the trails at Lost Lake Park, in Lost Lake PassivHaus, a short walk from the heart of Whistler Village.
If you are planning for your next ski season, you can get your skis here and start your day on the trails or stop in at our cafe. This exciting and accessible sport is good for all ages and abilities, and we offer lessons and rentals suitable for anyone. Spend a day in the great outdoors gliding down the trail at your own pace exploring the beauty of Whistler's Lost Lake Park trail network on skis or snowshoes.

We are new to cross country skiing so booked an hour lesson and gear for the day. It was a great experience for everyone - our instructor Toshi was awesome - he taught us the basics so we could enjoy the day and made it fun. The equipment was in excellent condition and all the staff friendly and helpful. It was only a five minute walk from our hotel in the village so we could go back for lunch and then ski more in the afternoon. Unlike the other place I checked out, they have a family package which made it a great value for an outing where only one person is footing the bill! Highly recommended

Get out and enjoy the beautiful trails that are groomed daily. Family owned and operated. Don't forget to grab a coffee and some soup at the end of your adventure!

Went cross-country skiing on thursday night and it was a blast! We went around the lake about 5 times as it was my first time doing some ski. It was well marked and beginner friendly.
The access pass cost us about 6$ each on thursday night (discount after 3PM + discount on thursday I think). We rented the skiis + the boots at the same place for 25$ each. The staff was helpful and polite as well!

Great staff and equipment. We rented 4 bikes for 3 hours and had a ball riding the Lost Lake trails. $20 and hour. My husband and teenage boys rode the blue single track and I found a ton of good fun green rides. Ask them to help you understand the trails - it's hard to understand at first but well worth the effort! Thanks for a great time!!
