Whistler was the host of last seasons Winter Olympics and one of the world’s best ski resorts. The skiing is endless with two mountains towering up from the village offering well over 200 runs, made up of perfect beginner slopes and slow speed areas, great intermediate bowls and tree lined runs, plus some of the best advanced terrain to be found – all of which is regularly covered in large dumps of snow. Ski down either mountain and you’ll ski into Whistler’s pedestrian village with great après ski and a huge choice of restaurants, which are all surprisingly inexpensive given how popular this resort is. If you can pull yourself away from the slopes then the great shopping, spas and winter activities will keep you very well entertained.
