 About Us

We are a UK family currently working in London. We are all avid skiiers, including our 3 children! We first came to Whistler in 1997 for a ski trip. Needless to say, this place left a lasting impression on us! In spring 2002, we bought this property for personal use. We decided to call Whistler our second home because of all of the places we have ever skiied, Whistler offers the best terrain, service and all around amenities. We love this property which has truly become our second home. We hope that you enjoy using it and that you find it to be your home away from home as well. Please let us know how we can make your vacation incredible and let us know if there is anything we can provide for you to make your stay extraordinary! The Lear Family
