 Local Tips

Food and Beverage

Best burgers	Splitz ---- built to order while you watch.
Best desserts	We love the variety of desserts offered at the Marketplace IGA, something for everyone! Be sure to arrive before their closing time of 9pm.
Best place for breakfast/brunch	The Chateau serves the most incredible, overwhelming, and immense brunch you will probably ever encounter. Somewhat expensive, but ideal for a very special occasion!
Favorite ethnic restaurants	Thai One On in the upper village can challenge the most daring taste buds.
Favorite family restaurant	We love Earls and The Brew House!

For Skiers and Boarders Only

Best lunch strategies

If you"re like us, you don"t like to take time or spend the money on lunch. Bring up a fanny pack with trail snack, candy or power bar, and water bottle to munch on the chair rides up. Other choice is to make a lunch and bring it up in a back pack. Store it near one of the day lodges on the hill where you can get it and have a quick, inexpensive bite in the lodge. There are microwaves in the lodges also for a warmed up meal.

My Weather tips!

Don"t make the decision whether or not to go up on the mountain based on what you see in the village. On top, the conditions quite often are very different. Check the Allura web site for updated reports at the different levels on the hill.

Just for Kids!

Cool playgrounds	Rainbow Park is accessible via the bike trail or car. Lots of grass and great water cannons to have fun with.
Great kids activities	The Meadow Park sports complex has a great swimming pool, whirl pool, rope swing etc along with weight room, squash courts and ice rink for the older ones.
Great places to eat with kids	The good "ol Spaghetti Factory, Splitz burgers.

Nightlife

My top nightlife tips

You"ll see the sedate people we are! I love cross country sking around Lost Lake with the trail lit up with twinkling lights. The snow sparkles in the trees. Truly magical!!!

On a Personal Note

What makes Whistler so special and unique?

Whistler in the winter is magical at night. After spending an incredible day skiing/boarding on one of the world's most varied mountains, to be able to casually stroll through the village is a real treat. Window shopping, people watching, or taste testing the variety of restaurants scattered amongst the twinkling lights of the village is wonderful. Summertime Whistler offers so many outdoor options, you could spend weeks trying them all out

The Drive to Whistler

Best radio station	Am 1130 for news and border wait times FM 107.1 Contemporary music and local information
My safety tips for drivers new to Hwy 99	Try it in daylight hours and keep the speeds down. If you have time, pull off the road to enjoy the views, instead of trying to rubberneck as you drive this curvey road.
What I like about the drive	This drive during daytime hours on a sunny day in the spring will take your breathe away.
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.

Whistler Activities

Best day hikes	Musical Bumps up on top of Whistler. Take the Gondola up to the Roundhouse. You"ll think you"re in Heaven! We liked the loop from Burnt Stew to Musical Bumps and then back to the gondola to ride down
Best places to go swimming	Lost Lake---nippy but clean, clear, and refreshing!
Funky stores	The Daily Planet ---One in the Village and another at Function Junction 5 miles south of town. Unique home furnishings and knick knacks. Owners are really friendly.
Great walks to take	Cheakamus Lake is an easy 1.5 hr walk with beautiful old growth forest, rushing river, and pretty lake.
Places to work out	Whistler Racket Club-- small exercize room adequate for my treadmill needs and my teenage son"s lifting. The 3 indoor/ 4 outdoor tennis courts are great. Hardly ever busy during the winter!
Worst day hike	Wedgemont Lake is beautiful but not recommended unless you are in incredible shape. I"ve never hiked anything this steep!
