Wicked Whistler Aspens Condo

 Welcome!

Welcome to The Aspens, Whistler's premier ski in, ski out property.

Situated right on the slopes, near the base of Blackcomb mountain, this is a top-floor, newly renovated and upgraded suite with stunning mountain views.  Please see the Photos & Video link above.

You are just moments away from the Wizard chair giving you speedy access to the mountain.  And thanks to the Peak 2 Peak gondola you have ski in, ski out access to a truly breathtaking amount of terrain.

Grab a bite on the hill at one of the excellent dining facilities or take advantage of your "on hill" accommodation to have a relaxing lunch at home.

After a great day on the slopes, ski back to your lodge, hand your equipment to the ski valet and take your pick from the three hot tubs.  But the fun doesn't stop there...

A short stroll takes you to the heart of Whistler village with its buzzing aprés and great shopping.  Or have a quiet night in with home-cooked food and a glass of good wine.

The condo has FREE wireless internet, air-conditioning for the summer months and anti-allergy bedding.

 Location & Map

Location

There really is no better place to stay in Whistler.  The Aspens is right on the slopes at the base of Blackcomb, immediately above the Wizard chair.  You are booking a true ski in/out vacation.  Beware of properties that claim ski in/out when in reality you have to lug your equipment half a mile to find a slope.  A car is entirely optional at The Aspens - you can walk or ski everywhere from here.

 

If you want the hustle and bustle of the village, it's a short stroll away.  When you've had your fill of aprés, the Benchlands setting is noticeably quieter and more peaceful than the Town Plaza lodges (Eagle, Bear and Deer).
