Hardcore and laid back br>Evolution is a tiny boutique, but holds a wealth of high-end snow, skate and bike gear. The shelves are lined with toques, goggles, streetwear, snowboards, accessories, and artwork made by Whistler locals. One of the few independently owned businesses in Whistler, Evolution has become well known for selling the styles and brands no one else carries. Instead of lining their racks with 20 of the same cookie cutter hoodie, Evolution focuses on buying a select few unique patterns and styles from the hottest brands we all know and love. Customers are loyal, trendy and individual, and consider Evolution the heart of Whistler’s authentic snowboard and bike culture.

Evolution brands
Evolution carries Lib tech snowboards, Specialized bikes, Airblaster and LRG clothing and Spacecraft accessories. Aside from selling niche brands, they also carry their very own line of t-shirts, toques and stickers. You will see their trademark dragon logo in vibrant colours and patterns either tucked away inconspicuously or proudly emblazoned across the chest of their clothing.

Bike season
Evolution, which business owner Janine started with her savings from working in Japan, is just as well known for its bike products and services as it is for its skate gear and clothing. The store sells high-end freeride, downhill, cross-country, and BMX bikes. They also carry a broad range of rental bikes and provide bike tune-ups and repairs.
