I am planning to fly into Vancouver Airport this January. I won’t have a car so I need to find transportation to Whistler-Blackomb ski area. I am trying to find one of the cheapest ways to get up there. I saw an ad in their guide for a luxury motor coach that was $61 one way. Is there anything cheaper than that? I only need transportation to and from the mountain, I do not need it while I am there. I will have my ski equipment with me too.
I believe the only service that goes directly from the airport to Whistler is Perimeter coach lines:

As of 2000, when I worked in tourism, it was the only service which made the direct trip. If you’re willing to go into the city, the other options (Greyhound, etc.) will be available to you too. But if it’s essential that you go straight from the airport, then Perimeter is what you want.

That’s about the best price for a comfortable ride, and will take you and your ski gear right to the village. There is public transit, which is a lot cheaper but it’s a hassle if you have skis. Some of the buses have bike racks on the front of the bus, but I don’t know of any that have ski racks.
They’ve had lots of fresh snow this week, with more on the way, so you should have a great time!

the bus should be cheaper, but you need to get to the bus depot then. it would require taking the public bus and it is a headace.
