Whistler

Whistler ski resort is the perfect choice for your luxury ski holiday for 2018/2019. Whistler is North America’s leading ski resort and its attractions are obvious - two massive mountains, covered in extensive slopes, rising high above a village which is packed with great  restaurants, bars, clubs, a wide range of 4-star plus lodging and plenty of other off slope entertainment. As you can see a ski holiday to Whistler has something for everyone.

The twin peaks of Whistler and Blackcomb ski resort, which are linked by the awe-inspiring Peak 2 Peak gondola, are covered in a vast array of trails, with everything from beginner areas to tough tree runs. The resort’s annual snowfall is definitely in the ‘epic’ category too, with an annual average of 11.7m, pretty much guaranteeing good snow on your Whistler luxury ski holiday. Vail Resorts recently announced brand new lifts for the 2018/19 season. On Whistler, a new six-person Emerald Express chair will make life in the Family Ski Zone easier, while a high-speed, four-person Catskinner chair adds laps to your day on Blackcomb. Access to this mountain will also be faster, warm and dry, as well. A 10-person gondola, from the Upper Village to the PEAK 2 PEAK connection, will open the first fully-sheltered route up Blackcomb.

There is much to excite all levels of skier and snowboarder, above and below the tree-line, with over 8,100 acres of terrain, up to 1,500 acres of which is groomed each night! Novices will find plenty of interest, particularly with earthwork in the Olympic Station area opening up more beginner-friendly terrain for this season along with further investment to optimize learning conditions for new skiers and snowboarders. Intermediates are spoilt for choice, with wide blue runs and lots of challenging single black diamond trails, while there are thrills aplenty for the more advanced, with bowls, bumps, glades, steeps and much more available on both mountains. Whistler ski resort also has five terrain parks, a snow cross track and a superpipe. Should that not be enough, Whistler heli-skiing is also available.

Whistler ski resort's pedestrianised village is packed with attractions, lively clubs blend with delightful dining and stylish stores stand alongside relaxed coffee shops. There is a vast choice of accommodation for your ski holiday to Whistler, from chic apartments to luxurious hotels, but almost without exception well appointed and offering friendly welcomes and great service.

There is an eclectic mix of restaurants to choose from on your Whistler ski holiday - from amazing steaks in Hy’s Steakhouse to Sushi Village’s Japanese delights, from Caramba’s family restaurant to all the fun of the Mongolie Grill. Enjoy a Whistler Tasting Tour for a gourmet dining experience, wine tasting and even champagne sabering! Whistler’s après is almost as famous as its skiing, with the party atmosphere highlighted by the free Fire & Ice Show on Sunday evenings through most of the season featuring fire spinners, fireworks, and some of Whistler's best skiers and riders showing their skills as they hit big air jumps through a blazing ring of fire.

The GLC at the base of Whistler Mountain is a popular place after a hard day on the mountain, and also hosts the official after party to the Fire & Ice Show, Afterburn. Dubh Linn Gate at the Pan Pacific Mountainside, right by the Whistler base, with a traditional Irish pub feel and excellent food, and Dusty's at the base of the Creekside Gondola, full of local Canadian flavour and host to the Canadian National BBQ Championships, are also favourites, but there are plenty of other bars - including the world's coldest vodka tasting bar, the Ketel One Ice Room under the Bearfoot Bistro - and several clubs to keep even the most energetic entertained through until the early hours.

Activities

There is a huge array of off slope activities on offer on your Whistler ski holiday, including snowmobiling, sleigh rides, tubing and snowshoeing. Thrill seekers will relish the amazing Ziptrek, an exhilarating two-hour journey through the trees along walkways and zip wires, and the sliding centre, home to the fastest ice track in the world, where you can don a helmet and try bob-sleigh and skeleton!

But there are plenty of more laidback activities too, such as a romantic horse drawn sleigh ride, perhaps combined with a fondue, a number of delightful spas and even the opportunity to go eagle viewing. Each winter the Whistler Olympic Plaza at the heart of Whistler Village is transformed into an outdoor skating rink, providing family-friendly skating with the most spectacular view

Whistler Ski resort is a 2 hour drive up the stunning Sea to Sky Highway from Vancouver, which is also well worth a visit – harbour-side hotels, colourful markets, lively shopping and plenty of entertainments are all on offer in this glorious ocean-side city.
