Whistler Ski Holidays
As the Sunday telegraph puts it "There is virtually nowhere else you can go
to ski or snowboard in North America that has as many magnificently long slopes,
spectacular steep couloirs and long, smooth, thigh-burning runs."
Whistler mainly attracts skiers, snowboarders and off-piste specialists from Canada & the USA.
However, it is becoming increasingly popular with Europeans
Whistler has got the lot: Lively apres ski, 30 ft of snow each year, over 200 runs
across the two mountains (Whistler & Blackcomb) and over 8000 acres of skiable
terrain.
A massive $14.2 million was invested in improvements in 2004,
including the introduction of 1100 acres of new terrain, a Superpipe on Blackcomb
mountain and light for night skiing.
Whistler is packed with an abundance of lively apres-ski until the early hours and
there are restaurants to suit every taste and budget.
Shopping in Whistler consists mainly of sports stores and supermarkets. Other pastimes include sleigh rides,
snowmobiles, ice skating, cross country skiing, heli-skiing and a cinema.
