Le Chamois, 4557 Blackcomb Way, Whistler, BC
Le Chamois, 4557 Blackcomb Way, Whistler have some confusing rules about rentals. Let me help clarify this for you. When you buy a studio, or a 1 bed and 1 bath, or a 1 bed and 2 bath condo you are obligated to use Whistler Premier as your rental manager. If you have the budget for a multi-million dollar condo on the 5th or 6th floor, then you are not obligated to use Whistler Premier. In conclusion you may want to as they are an excellent, established, rental property management company.
Le Chamois has a restaurant on the ground floor, and is opposite the Fairmont Chateau Whistler. This area of the Benchlands is called called the Upper Village, and is typically a quiet neighbourhood at night. Most visitors wanting action are hopefully staying in the Village.

The statistics are compiled by the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) In addition, the monthly Whistler Real Estate Market Update video is a great way to stay informed in less than 99 seconds.
Location
Undoubtedly, this is the best ski-in ski-out location of any condo development in Whistler. The location is literally steps away from the Blackcomb Gondola and the Blackcomb Day Lodge at the base of Blackcomb Mountain. The day lodge is important because it houses a restaurant, the guest services centre for tickets, inquiries and lesson information, a ski and board shop for purchases and equipment rentals, and next door is the snow school for beginners of all ages. Did I mention one of Whistler’s best aprés bars is in the day lodge?That would be Merlin’s with lots of indoor space and a great patio.

Comparable Sales
To view the comparable Sales of Ski-in/Ski-out Condos (Sales: Condos) page on this site. Comparable properties are deemed to be those condos that buyers would consider when deciding to purchase. Otherwise known as a competitive set.
Revenue
Le Chamois has lock-off units, which means that some condos have one door to the hallway, and then an interior lobby which has two doors. One door leads to the studio with kitchen facilities and a bathroom. The other door leads to a bedroom and bathroom. Whistler Premier will not rent out part of the lock-off while you stay in the other part. The 1989 sound-proofing between the bedroom and the suite is not adequate for paying guests.
Built in 1989, the property has studios to four bedroom suites, with 62 total number of suites. In order for Le Chamois to be classified as a non-commercial building, 15% of the building must have residential status. That 15% are the condos on the 5th and 6th floor. However, the 5th and 6th floor owners still have the option of using their nightly rental zoning.
Who wouldn’t rent in Le Chamois? Granted if you want a full kitchen, Le Chamois may not get the rental booking. It is an excellent ski-in ski-out, walk to the Village location, with a swimming pool and hot tub. Did you know that some original units still have the couples hot tub in the living room? I had a client who bought a studio which had the tub in the living room and they had no problem renting it out. There is an advantage to this ski-in ski-out location over the properties further up in the Benchlands, and that advantage is the location to the Village.
Strata
Built in 1989, the property has studios to four bedroom suites, with 62 total number of strata lots (condos). In order for Le Chamois to be classified as a non-commercial building, 15% of the building must have residential status. That 15% are the condos on the 5th and 6th floor. However, the 5th and 6th floor owners still have the option of using their nightly rental zoning.
The main drawback to Le Chamois is that there is no stove or dishwasher in the suites. I imagine this was due to the developer thinking that most skiers in the eighties would just need a stove top. Some condos do have a stove which was added later, but these condos are an exception.

Storage in Le Chamois
The storage in the condo will be minimal, however the rest of the building does allocate decent storage for your needs and guest needs:
- Ski and board storage lockers are located in the building with easy access to the exterior. These are on the second level above the front desk and reception area.
- A storage locker number is assigned to the owner of the condo. This will be identified on the Form B, which is obtained as part of the contract.
- Bike storage takes over from the ski and board storage room, again with a great access to and from the outside.
- There is an in-suite storage closet for owner belongings. You can create as much in-suite owner storage as you wish.
Parking
There are two parking garages in Le Chamois. One is for the owners unassigned parking and the other garage is for visitor parking. The front desk manager will advise you or your guests where to park. This is a common procedure with properties who have a front desk checking in all the guests and owners.
