Yes, I don't think whistlers public park is too big anyway. Keep in mind a summer pass at hood is around 900, and a day pass is around 56 (there is nothing between the two). They usually move public park up higher on the mountain by that time, so there will be plenty of stuff

Woa 900? .. Well were coming for 4 weeks so it's fine. Thanks for the advice! Do you know a cheap place to stay or someone who rents their appartment out during summer?

Nope, If you want to get by on the bare minimum you should camp at the airstrip (google it, its near trillium). It's where all the hood ski bums live and always a good time, just be ready get gypsy. It's free and you have bring everything you need, and its about a 10 minute drive from timberline.

There isn't much cheap housing in govy, I guess it would be easier to find places to rent at that time of year though.

from what i've heard about the whistler public park, hood is the way to go. If possible i'd get there before july because the snow dissapears far above the lift terminal. After late june to mid july, your gonna have to hike in order to lap the mile chair.

Eh, lapping usually lasts until mid July. Last year was almost exactly average, and it went another week past the week of the 4th.
