Our condo is situated at the newly renovated area of Creekside, voted "best neighbourhood" by Whistlerites.  It is a mere 2-3 minute walk to restaurants, pubs, internet cafe, Starbucks, bank and convenience/grocery store, AND the high speed gondola which offers the most comfortable, quickest way to the top of Whistler mountain.  We're home to the 5k vertical drop run "Peak to Creek", & the 2010 Olympic Men & Women's Downhill & Super G.  We have worked hard to equip our condo with all the comforts and aesthetic pleasures one would expect in a home.  Make a Live, Instantly Confirmed Reservation: Click Reserve Now on the top right hand corner of this property page. Best wishes, Carmen & Philip

 Local Tips

Focus on Blackcomb Mountain

Best lunch strategy Not exactly lunch, but the all day waffles at Chrystal Hut rock!

Food and Beverage

Best apres ski As we ski mostly from Creekside, we stop in at Dusty&quot;s at the end of the day (located right next to the Creekside Gondola)
Best local beer Shaftsbury Cream Ale (when you can find it)
Best place for breakfast/brunch The Southside Deli at junction of Hwy 99 and Lake Placid road. Long regarded as a locals haunt for great breakfasts.
Uniquely Canadian Foods to enjoy We usually stop for a Beaver-Tail mid-morning. Then we can ski through to early afternoon before taking a late lunch, helping to avoid the crowds.

My Money Saving Tips

My biggest money saving tips We pack our own lunches. We use the microwaves in the lodges to heat up sandwiches and soups if we want something hot.

On a Personal Note

Our favourite season in Whistler and why. It&quot;s so difficult to choose. We love the winter because of the skiing. But now we can travel to Whistler all year round we have discovered that the Summers are just marvelous as well. There is so much to do, and the beautiful scenery is so relaxing

 About Us

Carmen and I live in Seattle and regularly travel up to Whistler to enjoy fun in the mountains all year round.
Carmen is an avid skier, and I have switched to snowboarding for the last few years - the boots are so much comfier, and the board rocks on those powder days.
We have owned our condo since 1998 and for us it was a dream come true to have our own vacation place in Whistler.
We have spent time carefully decorating and outfitting our condo so that on our trips to Whistler we really feel that we have escaped to the perfect vacation spot.  We hope that you will agree with us should you decide to spend time in our home.

Philip & Carmen
