 Local Tips

Focus on Blackcomb Mountain

Best chute on Blackcomb	The blowhole on Blackcomb Glacier - so I'm told!
Best photo op	Blackcomb Glacier, after you have hiked up from the T-bar. You have to stop to get your breath back anyway and the view is fab!

Focus on Whistler Mountain

Best photo op

Whistler Peak/Top of Harmony on a clear day and Blackcomb Glacier on the top path. Stunning.

Food and Beverage

Best burgers	Splitz Grill - no contest! In Alpenglow Hotel, Whistler Village.
Best desserts	Araxi, Whistler Village Square.
Best place for breakfast/brunch	The Fairmont Chateau (next door to Aspens) serves a great buffet breakfast/brunch. Pricey but nice.
Favorite ethnic restaurants	Sushi Village. Tandoori Grill. Thai One On.
Favorite family restaurant	Monks Grill, Hys Steakhouse, Araxi. The kids like Teppan Village.
Top spot for coffee	For a big caffeine hit I make my own. Otherwise we quite like (no more than that!) the cappucino's on the mountain - The Rendezvou, Glacier Creek, Whistler Roundhouse all have coffee bars. .The coffee bar next to the pharmacy on Whistler Village Square is good.

For Skiers and Boarders Only

Best lunch strategies	The mountain lodges can get busy at lunchtimes. Before 12 and after 2 is a bit quieter. Crystal Hut on Blackcomb and Chick Pea on Whistler have nice outside seating areas.
How I avoid feeling pain the next day!	Keep moving!
My Weather tips!	The weather in the village is often not the same as up the mountain. Check weather reports for conditions.

Just for Kids!

Best rainy day kids activities	Go up high and keep ski-ing. Or, the Meadow Park Sports Complex has a great swimming pool, whirl pool, rope swing etc along with weight room, squash courts and ice rink.
Cool playgrounds	Rainbow Park is accessible via the bike trail or car. Lots of grass and great water cannons to have fun with. Skateboard park and bike track by the Village car parks.
Great kids activities	Swimming/hot tub in Aspens after a day on the slopes. Tube park - arghhhh! Zip-Trek/Eco Tours, Dog Sledding, The fort/castle on Blackcomb. The Terrain Garden and Terrain Park for the big guys. The Climbing Wall (they have a climb & dine package, the kids climb you dine).
Great places to eat with kids	Teppan Village for the knives, throwing and flames! Earls - lots of screens. The patios at the Longhorn and Merlins for after ski/boarding, sodas and huge plates of nachos.

My Money Saving Tips

Cheapest times to come to Whistler	May - November. Early summer to early fall. Amazing amount to do, with the lodging very moderately priced.
My biggest money saving tips	Use the Allura Discount Card (or other resort card!). You can save quite a bit if you use them in the shops in the village.

Nightlife

My top nightlife tips

We fall asleep in our dinner but we hear Tommy Africas, Moe Joe's, Buffalo Bills are good! The patios for apre ski are great. The free bands at the Telus Ski Festival in April.

On a Personal Note

Our best Whistler story

It's our friend's story really, but he is a very reliable source! A bar in a large hotel in Whistler. The patio doors slide open and in walks...a black bear! Customers scatter! I don't know how they got him out - probably refused to serve him.

What makes Whistler so special and unique?

We can walk out of the condo and be on the slopes, no buses, no long walks in ski-boots, we're just there. Two mountains to choose where to ski. Fantastic variety. Great Terrain Park and Terrain Garden (according to our sons). Even when it is very busy it seems to have space for everybody. The glaciers. High up in the mountains, stopping and listening to the silence. At busy times the lift queue system - alternate lines feed into the main queue. It's pretty polite!

The Drive to Whistler

Best radio station	AM 1130 for news and border times FM 107.1 Contemporary music and local information
My safety tips for drivers new to Hwy 99	If possible, drive in the daytime. Keep your speed down. There are stunning views from the road but, please, pull over into the designated areas to enjoy them rather than take your eyes off the road. The road is fast, undivided and twists and turns. You ned to concentrate and get safely to Whistler.
What I like about the drive	The scenery is beautiful.
Worst thing about the drive	Leaving late at the end of a weekend and having to plod along with the procession of cars heading back to reality.

The Not So Obvious Types of Tips!

Things that you should bring, but will forget!

Swimwear and a robe.

Whistler Activities

Best day hikes	Up the Peak Chair and take it from there. Breathtaking views on a clear day.
Best places to go swimming	Aspens pool! Lost Lake, cold but refreshing!
Funky stores	Showcase. The Art Gallery in Fairmont Chateau. Great Glass Elevator Candy Store (yep, that's the kids' favourite); Glacier Shop.
Great walks to take	Around Lost Lake. Walks from the top of the Peak Chair.
Places to work out	Small exercise room in the Aspens. The nearby Whistler Raquets Club has tennis and gym facilities.
Worst day hike	Haven't found a worst one...yet!

Frequently Asked Questions

Parking - more than one vehicle

Is there a hot tub?

Aspens has 3 hot tubs overlooking the slopes and the swimming pool.

 About Us

We first visited Whistler in 2003 and fell in love with it.  Our sons' ski-ing improved quickly with Whistler Kids ski school and our ski-ing improved from being challenged by the amazing terrain on offer.  We love the variety of ski-runs, the terrain parks, the backcountry, the glaciers and the space to ski (even at busy holiday times Whistler seems to have space for everyone!); the pine trees; the sun and the snow (and the rain and the fog!).  It is a great place for a holiday and we hope you will fall in love with it too.
