Best place to rent from/rig to rent in Whistler?

[scan321]

I'm heading up to Whistler for a few days of riding next week, and I won't be able to bring my ride up there. I mostly ride jumps so I have a hardtail dj rig anyhow, not really the best to take up to Whislter. I've never owned a big dually before so I'm unsure about what would be the best for me to rent since I'm used to a small hardtail. Is there anywhere in whistler where I can rent a 150-180mm dually rather than a full on DH bike? Or would be be better for me to just rent a DH sled and try and get used to a big bike for a few days?

The only place I have found online that even rents a non-dh rig is Fanatyk Co with a 2012 Norco Truax which seems fairly ideal. Thoughts, anyone?

I'd recommend a DH rig for the park.

Evolution rents Specialized Demos.
Fanatyk rents Norco Aurums.
Snociety rents Trek Sessions.
The High Performance Demo Centre rents 6 different brands.
WB itself rents Giant Glorys.
Whistler Bike Co. rents Giant bikes of different flavours.
Summit rents Rocky Mountain bikes of different flavours (Flatline, Slayer etc.)

bike co also has at least one commencal dh as well.
Most places wont let you ride a rented trail bike in the park. WB high end has Kona entourages or scott voltages i think if you really want single crown/non dh.

Thanks for the input, I think I'll rend a Demo 8 and rid e a big boy bike for a change!

entourages are sweet. They also have giant faiths but i think just in smaller sizes
