BASICALLY
University can wait, I've moving to the mountains.
Whistler's on my mind, because if I go anywhere, why not go to the best place,
but I'll be underaged, and living with legal aged people.
 
Is it a horrible idea to go to Whistler if I won't be able to get into any bars?
 
Help please!!!

Etiquette? Is that some sort of toilet paper?
Ha! Ha! I'm on Twitter!

I did my first season when I was under the legal drinking age (for the US). I still had a ball and don't regret it one bit. Of course there was times when I felt a bit left out because it seemed all my friends were heading out and I couldn't go, but I still got in my fair share of partying and it always meant I was more likely to be first one up in the mornings. It was hard though because where I grew up, the legal drinking age was 18 so it did feel like I was being treated as a little kid again.

There's a lot of young people in Whistler (sorry for the grandma attitude - not that I'm that old either) but that's the first thing I noticed when I moved there a few years ago. I was quite surprised about the number of people who are in the 17-20 year old age bracket, so you won't be alone there. But there will always be someone who's willing to party with you even if you're not going out. And there's heaps of other stuff to do in Whistler other than go out and drink at the bars (although, I hate to say it, but it is a big part of the culture there too).

I probably wouldn't willingly do another season if I was underage, but it was a fun experience. Can you start a year at uni and then do a season? Hope this helps with your decision a bit!

Why is it called "legally drunk" if you can get a ticket?

I say go for it. Not that I ever lived in Whistler, underaged or no, but you're smart to go BEFORE you go to university - it's way easier for you to go now than after.. you'd run the risk of talking yourself into being responsible and getting a full time job etc etc. Just go for it. There will always be house parties for you to party at. And, you know, snowboarding. And if you can't go to the bar, you're less likely to be hung over so you can get more time on the mountains!

I'd wait

Half of the reason Whistler is so legendary is the nightlife it has.  You could go to any mountain to get up early for freshies and such...
Its also not impossible to have a fun night out and still make it up for first lifts.  I did it a bunch of times when I lived there.

get 2 pieces though... they are hardcore on fakes in whislter...
one piece has to have your photo... the other one a matching name
photo one has to be government issued.

i had a bunch of friends who WERE over 19 get denied because they only had one piece of id.

Go to University then move here.. or else you'll get trapped in the bubble and never go.

Steve's right about hte 2 pieces.. met a chicka the other night that HAD 2 pieces and got denied because she had died her hair and didn't look like her picture anymore. wierd. silly whistler.. but that's why we love it!

true fact....one of my friends had all her older sister's ID because they looked exactly alike. She had a special "going out" wallet with all the sister's ID in it. It was pretty legit
