"Located on the base of Whistler Mounain the Garibaldi Lift Company has been offering up mountainside foods and drinks since 1995!. One of Whistler's original patios, the GLC has undergone extensive renovations in the past year's making it one of the most modern and comfortable spots to overlook the village. Enjoy daily drink specials and choose from a wide array of finger foods and bar menu staples."

"It’s likely both, but what’s not in dispute is that the GLC is the best place for après in Whistler. With a great view overlooking the village centre and returning skiers, GLC offers signature drinks like spicy Bloody Caesars and Canadian pub cuisine like butter chicken poutine and giant nacho platters.

"Not only do they have one of the best craft beer selections in town, but the food quality at this casual, spacious taphouse rivals most restaurants in town.

The Harmony Bowl, Lentil Burger and a plethora of sides offer plenty of options for the hungry vegan."

The website explains: ‘The brand known and loved as Sitka is now ecologyst – Canada’s west coast outdoor clothing and gear company, balancing conservation and consumerism.’. Ecologyst features on menswear, womenswear, and quintessential Canadian camp & cabin goods."
