Excess Backcountry, Whistler, BC

Excess Backcountry understand the difference quality gear makes. Back in 2007, when we opened Excess Backcountry in Whistler’s Crystal Lodge, our purpose was simple: create a place dedicated to providing great gear, rentals and expert advice for hiking, camping and skiing. We’re talking all backcountry, all the time.

Since then, we’ve grown to become Whistler’s premier local source for backcountry equipment and expertise. As part of the Whistler Village Sports Group, a member of the national buyer Source for Sports, we can offer customers unbeatable product selection and unbeatable discounts year-round.

The brands we carry are carefully chosen for performance, durability and value; safety is always top of mind at Excess Backcountry. That’s why we also provide first aid and avalanche safety courses through the Pacific Alpine Institute; it’s part of our customer-first approach.
