 Local Tips

Food and Beverage

Best place for breakfast/brunch	Well I have always served up a mean breakfast in our kitchen with all the great appliances but if you want a break, then Blacks Restaurant does the trick and you can watch the skiers and bikers coming down the hill. For something extravagent try the Fairmont Chateau Whistler with its incredible and very tasty brunch.
Favorite family restaurant	Having two children with different appetites, the Spaghetti Factory has always been the best place to go. A nice atmosphere and good prices make for an enjoyable family dinner. Oh and the crayons really come in handy.
Favorite Pub/Bar	There are many throughout the village but you must try the Dublin Pub or Blacks. Both with incredible mountain views and great service.
Favorite up-scale restaurant	Umbertos and Araxis, enjoy getting dressed up and enjoying a fine dinner with excellent wine
Most romantic place to eat	That"s an easy one......our home with the romantic fireplace and falling snow right outside the door, romance is in the air
Top spot for coffee	Blenz in Village North has always done the trick for me, nice service and their Irish Cream coffee is great. Also, great to sit back and relax while you watch the kids play on the wooden playset.

For Skiers and Boarders Only

Best lunch strategies	Pack a lunch if possible. Prices on the mountain can be a bit much. But don"t be discouraged in trying the local delis and bars, they offer some great food and reasonable prices
Best ways to find out about weather and snow	What always works for me is calling the Whistler/Blackcomb ski line, always up to date and pretty accurate
My Weather tips!	The one thing that I can say about the weather is don"t be fooled. It can be raining in the Village and snowing up on the mountains, so be prepared.

Just for Kids!

Best rainy day kids activities	This is easy, with my two daughters the Meadow Park Sports Centre is fantastic, fantastic pool area and skating rink. Also the Great Wall Climbing Centre, lots of fun
Cool playgrounds	Wooden playground in front of Blenz Coffee in Village North, also a nice playground on the trail going to Lost Lake just to the left of the bike rental shop. This park even has tennis courts. And no visit to Whistler would be complete without a visit to the water playground located just behind the Meadow Park Sport Centre.
What kids should bring	Although we do have a selection of games and videos, they might want to bring their own cassettes/cd"s to listen to. For the clothes, make sure they are warm, warm, warm and it gets very cold, cold, cold on the mountain

My Money Saving Tips

Cheapest beer	Well, that"s an easy one.....my fridge, liquor store is close by and what better way to enjoy a nice cold one but looking out to the mountains
Cheapest groceries	Save On Foods or Extra Foods in Squamish, you can save approximately 15%, but I have found that the local IGA store in Marketplace will also have reduced prices on their items
Cheapest times to come to Whistler	I have always found that the most inexpensive time is before Dec 15 and after March 31, cheap tickets and lodging, some good deals for clothing and accessories and don"t forget that skiing in the sun is still great
Less expensive places to eat	For a relatively nice dinner you can"t beat the Old Spaghetti Factory but if it is pizza you want, Dominoes is great
My biggest money saving tips	Don"t forget to bring your essentials because Whistler, as great as it is, can be more expensive so you don"t want to be caught shorthanded. Also for lift tickets and rentals, check out the Allura website for some discounted lift prices and rentals

The Drive to Whistler

Best things to see on the way to Whistler	Pretty much everything, the drive too Whistler, although windy is absolutely beautiful. Try and take some time to stop and check out the scenery
My safety tips for drivers new to Hwy 99	In winter conditions, make sure you have good snowtires or even better, 4x4. Always best to drive in the daylight as some of the roads are not fully lighted. Give yourself some extra time, especially if this is your first trip to Whistler. Even though the drive is beautiful it can be a bit tricky. And always, always wear your seatbelts the police are usually out in full force through the ski season.
What I like about the drive	Pretty much the scenery does it for me
Where to get the best views	Any view stop along the highway is great and don"t forget the waterfalls, they are awesome
Worst thing about the drive	The winding and, in some cases, narrow roads. Of course, lots of construction is happening so make sure you are prepared
