The Evolution Story
Evolution, established in 1995, is located in the heart of the Whistler Village in BC, Canada.
Evolution represents Whistler’s culture of Biking, Snow riding, Skateboarding, and Fashion.
In the winter we sell Snowboards and NarrowAssSnowboards (sold in pairs…) and stylin' related outerwear and accessories.
In the summer we rent and sell select quality bikes, parts and accessories and our excellent tech's service all types of bikes. Year round we stock a boutique selection of fashion from brands that often request to be in our store.
We offer opportunity to find clothes that are unique because we do not stock two of the same item
Evolution supports local artists, photographers, videographers and musicians with sales, and use of art, photos, DVD’s and CD’s.
Evolution is committed to quality service, products and style.
If you love bikes, snowboards, fashion or art: a visit to Evolution is a must when you are in Whistler.
