 Local Tips

Frequently Asked Questions

Phone

How does the phone work?

The phone was preprogrammed for the old 7 diget dialing system, now with the 10 numbers you have to dial the first 7 numbers, wait for them to be dialed, then dial the last 3 numbers.

Insuite Laundry

How does the insuite laundry work?

If you are using the dryer please remember to close the balcony door and bedroom window as the dryer is vented onto the balcony

Den

What about sleeping in the Den?

If someone is sleeping in the den, please remember to turn off the kitchen and hall light as the french door lets in lots of light into the den.

 About Us

Long before we ever met each other we both fell in love with skiing. Darcy with his week long ski trips in university and Gloria with her weekend trips to Whistler. Then we met! Our first weekend away together we went up to Whistler in September (1994) to play tennis (another love we both shared). We booked a suite at Marketplace Lodge which had just opened and was brand new like our relationship and we fell in love with each other and Whistler (again) and Marketplace Lodge.

It's been many years since that weekend of tennis. We have stayed in just about every hotel/condo up at Whistler and guess what! Here we are back at Marketplace Lodge where it all began. We were married in August 1998 and instead of a huge expensive wedding & honeymoon we were married in Darcy's hometown of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan and had a long weekend honeymoon at Whistler (a trip that Gloria won for being a top real estate salesperson). Instead we bought a ski condo for our family (that we now have) to enjoy year round. We now have 2 wonderful children, Tina and Chris who have been taking ski lessons so book before we do . . . and so far we are living happily ever after.
